On board of the R/V Urania
From 3 to 10 January 2014 I will be on board of the R/V Urania to explore the offshore area located between the northern Sicilian coastal city of Milazzo and Vulcano, the southernmost of the Aeolian Islands. We sailed from the harbour of Napoli, and the scientific party is leaded by the C.N.R. scientist Salvatore Passaro. Besides the researchers of the C.N.R., other scientists and students making the party are from the Universities of Trieste, Napoli and Palermo.
The target of the study is the offshore portion of a fault system known on-land as the Tindari-Letojanni system, and probably connecting with the Southern Tyrrhenian compressional belt located west of the Aeolian Island archipelago. This fault system was responsible of the Mw 6.1 15 April 1978, Golfo di Patti earthquake, that was characterized by a right-lateral trascurrent faulting mechanism.
