Outline of a joint research project by ENEL-INGV for the study of the microseismicity in the Larderello geothermal area

Abstract

The Larderello geothermal field is located ca. 100 km southeast of Florence, in the northern part of a volcanic zone that extends along the Italian Tyrrhenian coast. Geophysical investigations in the area suggest a crustal thinning and an injection of hot material from the upper mantle into the crust
