Finite source from geodetic data
The rupture distribution along the seismic source is derived from the analysis of displacement maps (InSAR) obtained through the processing of Sentinel-1, European Space Agency, radar images. InSAR data are produced by the EPOSAR (IREA-CNR) service.
Focal Plane FP1
This source model, derived from 4 InSAR dataset(s) including from 2 to 4 days after the event, is characterized by a single NE-SW oriented fault (strike 215°), dipping towards the NW at 46° degrees and a mainly normal rupture with a right-lateral component (rake -103°). Slip peak is approximately 1.0 m at a depth of 4.1 km. The energy released is 9.5E+17 Nm, corresponding to an M 6.0 earthquake. InSAR data, model and ancillary information can be found in the data_and_model.zip file, available for download

Expected surface displacement scenario
This section shows maps of the predicted surface displacement based on a finite fault derived from focal mechanisms. Images contain maps of simulated displacement; they only provide qualitative indications about the expected displacement. Use the pull-down menu to select a scenario from those available. Finite fault dimensions and mean slip are based on the scaling factore in Leonard (2010), doi 10.1785/0120090189. Scenarios are available only for a limited period after the event
