Evaluation of site effects in the Aterno river valley (Central Italy) from aftershocks of the 2009 L’Aquila earthquake
A temporary network of 33 seismic stations was deployed in the area struck by the 6th April 2009, Mw 6.1 (Scognamiglio et al. in Seism Res Lett 6/81, 2010), L’Aquila earthquake (central Italy), with the aim to in...

Separation of source and site effects by generalized inversion technique using the aftershock recordings of the 2009 L’Aquila earthquake
We exploit S-wave spectral amplitudes from 112 aftershocks (3.0 ≤ ML ≤ 5.3) of the L’Aquila 2009 seismic sequence recorded at 23 temporary stations in the epicentral area to estimate the source parameters of thes...
