This thesis analyzes the structural geology and seismic interpretation of the Sicily Channel Rift System through 2D seismic lines and well data. The seismic lines show normal faulting in a horst and graben style, with NW-SE and NNE-SSW trending faults. Some structures indicate tectonic inversion. GPS data and stress field analysis show right-lateral strike-slip motion across the rift zone. Together, the seismic, GPS, and stress data indicate an extensional rift system undergoing transpression along the Sicily Channel.
