Shallow high-resolution geophysical investigation along the western segment of the Victoria Lines Fault (island of Malta)

Our results depict a clear seismic signature of the Victoria Lines Fault, characterized by low seismic velocity and high amplification of ground motion. We hypothesize that, during the Middle Pleistocene, faulting may have affected the basal part of the red beds, so that this part of the investigated complex fault-system may be considered inactive since ~0.6 Myr ago.
