Systematic Triggering of Large Earthquakes by Karst Water Recharge: Statistical Evidence in Northeastern Italy
National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics – OGS, Udine, Italy
It is known that surface water accumulation by natural or anthropic causes like precipitation and reservoir impoundment can trigger earthquakes. The phenomenon is amplified and sped up in karst areas, where fracture systems can store large quantities of water and facilitate its percolation to seismogenic depths, increasing both elastic stress and pore pressure on pre-existent faults. The present work explored the possibility that this mechanism had systematically triggered major earthquakes in northeastern Italy, where seismicity is concentrated along the pre-Alpine thrust belt, characterized by the alignment of a series of karst massifs. The time occurrence of damaging and destructive earthquakes (moment magnitude Mw between 4.8 and 6.4) since 1901 was compared with the evolution of the Palmer
