Deformazione recente e attiva (Pleistocene Medio - Olocene) nell'area costiera compresa tra la Sila e il Pollino (confine calabro-lucano): analisi integrata di tipo morfotettonico e strutturale.

On-shore and offshore faults were grouped in geometrically coherent systems of faults of assigned length, dip and kinematic parameters. This selection was the basis for a numerical modeling of the vertical coseismic deformation associated to the transpressional faults which could reproduce the observed deformation profile of paleo-shorelines. The model is based on two major assumptions: a) the earth is assumed to be an elastic half-space; b) the faults are assumed to be rectangular shaped. The geometrical fault parameters (strike, plunge, dip, length, width, area, minimum and maximum depth) were derived from geological cross sections, offshore seismic reflection profiles and morphological evidences. The faults rakes were derived from structural, geodetic and seismic data. We modeled two fault zones (Amendolara Fault Zone, AMFZ, and Valsinni Fault Zone, VFZ), that, on the base of the seismic reflection profile F75-89, have accrued a significant vertical displacement and affect Middle Pleistocene sediments. The geometric and cinematic parameters that better can explain the marine terraces deformation were mathematically derived through an iterative procedure between 558613 combinations. The good match obtained between the deformed paleo-shorelines and the coseismic model supports the contention that transpression along the AMFZ and VFZ fault zones can reasonably explain the marine terraces deformation. Besides, the local fault-related vertical deformation is less than the 34% of the total uplift suffered by the coastal area. Basing on the fault mode
