Scientific paper

We retrieve seismic velocity variations within the Earth's crust in the region of L'Aquila (central Italy) by analyzing cross-correlations of more than two years of continuous seismic records. The studied period includes the April 6, 2009, Mw 6.1 L'Aquila earthquake. We observe a decrease of seismic velocities as a result of the earthquake's main shock. After performing the analysis in different frequency bands between 0.1 and 1 Hz, we conclude that the velocity variations are strongest at relatively high frequencies (0.5-1 Hz) suggesting that they are mostly related to the damage in the shallow soft layers resulting from the co-seismic shaking.
