In 2018 the project FOCUS - Fiber Optic Cable Use For Seafloor Studies Of Earthquake - started coordinated by Marc-André Gutscher from the Laboratoire Géosciences Océan at the University of Brest, France. This project investigates the seismicity and the crustal structure of the Ionian Sea through the analysis and interpretation of data collected by underwater instrumentation and by monitoring networks either available or specifically deployed near the coast.
In this context, the Osservatorio Nazionale Terremoti (ONT) and the Osservatorio Etneo (OE) of the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) and the Laboratorio di Sismologia of the University of Calabria (UniCal), contributed to the installation of a temporary seismic network to integrate the permanent networks present...
