First results from the low frequency Bubble Gun survey on Lake Garda (N Italy)
Some problems may arise. Here a cavle disconnected and we "gently" pulled the bubble gun to plug in the cavble again (Lake Garda)
The low frequency Bubble Gun is ready to acquire seismic data of the Lake Garda (N Italy)

Dec 26, 2018 Valgrande earthquake, at the foothills of Mt. Etna. The throw was really impressive, at spots, for such a small earthquake (Mw 4.9). The volcano-tectonic enviroment played its role, here.
Dec 26, 2018 Valgrande earthquake, at the foothills of Mt. Etna. Paved roads helped us a lot in easily detecting surface faulting and the exact slip vector.

Mount Vettore Fault (Central Italy), which ruptured in August and October 2016. The white part of the limestone scarp is due to the 2016 events, the darker one is from former events, happened century to thousands years ago.
