Abstract
We present the results regarding a combined analysis of self-potential and acoustic emission time series, jointly monitored during 1996 by means of a remote station installed north of the town of Potenza, close to an active fault system in a seismic area of Southern Italy. The goal is to verify the existence of correlations between geoelectric and seismoacoustic signals and the local seismicity. Preliminary filtering procedures for the removal of meteoclimatic effects and noise fluctuations of anthropic origin were applied. Then, objective methods were used to discriminate anomalous patterns from background noise in electric and seismoacoustic time series. Finally, a deep analysis of the possible correlations between the self-potential and acoustic emission extreme events and local seismicity has been carried out. The extreme events occurred before the Md = 4.5 earthquake of April 3, 1996 seem to indicate a common physical mechanism likely referable to the dilatancy-diffusion-polarization model.
