Abstract
Abstract The variation in Coulomb failure stress (CFS) plays a crucial role in either increasing or decreasing seismic activity. In cases in which the standard epidemic-type aftershock sequence (ETAS) model does not adequately fit seismicity data, the potential deviations from empirical laws are explored. These deviations may arise from stress changes imparted by aseismic transients that lead swarm-like earthquake sequences to occur. The time-dependent background rate of seismicity serves as an indicator for detecting changes in CFS or the presence of transient aseismic forcing. We investigate seismic anomalies in the slow deforming Mt. Pollino, Italy seismogenic area, where a 4-yr-long swarm-like sequence partially filled a previously hypothesized seismic gap. The primary process of this seismic swarm is still under debate. Employing a nonstationary ETAS model on a new template-matching high-resolution catalog, we suggest a slow-slip event and fluid interplay as the main aseismic forces in triggering and developing this swarm-like sequence.
