Fucino Basin structure revealed by the tomography and the reusing of the CROP11 seismic data

The refraction reprocessing of the CROP11-1999 seismic reflection data, which were acquired for deep seismic exploration using a split-spread long offset geometry, provides valuable new insights into the main geological structures of the central Apennines. In this study, we present the geophysical interpretation of a sub-transect of the CROP11 seismic profile, crossing the Piani Palentini and Fucino basins carried out using an integrated approach based on the refraction tomography, the stacked refraction convolution section, and the seismic reflection. The reprocessing allowed us to obtain, for the first time, a high resolution (about 15 m in distance and depth) P-waves seismic velocity 2D model and the imaging of the refractor interface of the basin up to the depth of the Meso-Cenozoic carbonate substratum. The outcomes, combined with the interpretation of a CROP11 seismic reflection sub-transect and a subparallel commercial seismic reflection profile, allowed us to highlight a comple...
