Ionian Plate Fracturing Under Southern Calabria; New Seismic Risk Data

New geophysical data indicate the Ionian Plate is actively breaking beneath Southern Calabria, refining seismic hazard models for the region. The finding is based on recent research, but the exact extent and rate of fracturing remain uncertain. This matters because improved understanding of the subduction process can enhance earthquake risk assessment in a seismically active area.
