| Popis: | Exploring the ‘fragile crust of our planet’ is crucial for human survival holding an immense social and economic significance. Therefore, innovative approaches become of utmost importance for obtaining precise subsoil models in urban areas making the latter more resilient to natural disasters. Due to logistic issues and a high level of anthropogenic disturbance and related background noise, urban areas are usually intrinsically more problematic for applying geophysical prospecting methods. This work presents the results obtained by Deep Electrical Resistivity Tomography and P wave Seismic Reflection surveys performed along the Ferrara, north Italy, city walls documenting the adaptability of the geophysical surveys and how it is possible to obtain high-quality electrical resistivity and seismic data even in complex urban settings. The joint interpretation of geoelectrical and seismic data fully integrated with tectonic, geological and hydrogeological information allowed to reconstruct the stratigraphic evolution down to a depth of about 1.5 km. These results highlight the occurrence of a syndepositional Quaternary tectonic tilting associated with the growth of a fault-propagation fold. |
