Surface Faulting of the 30 October 2016 M_w 6.5 Central Italy Earthquake: Detailed Analysis of a Complex Coseismic Rupture

Abstract

Key Points We analyze the surface ruptures of the 30 October 2016 M w 6.5 Norcia normal‐faulting earthquake in central Italy The heterogeneity of surface slip, with peaks up to 2.10 m, is controlled by the coseismic rupture process at depth The scaling properties and the complexity of surface slip reveal processes of fault segmentation and strain localization
