The 27 September 2021 damaging mainshock (Mw6. 0) is the first known strong earthquake
that ruptured the Arkalochori area, Crete Isl., Greece, during the entire historical period …

Active normal faults on the Mediterranean island of Crete form prominent limestone scarps
together with basin and range topography. These faults mainly strike E‐ESE and N‐NNE in …

We report four K‐Ar fault‐gouge and eight U‐Pb calcite ages from the high‐pressure Phyllite‐
Quartzite Unit (PQ) and the overlying, strongly thinned non‐high‐pressure Tripolitza and …

Geomorphic indices can be used to examine the geomorphological and tectonic processes
responsible for the development of the drainage basins. Such indices can be dependent on …

In the present work we propose a new seismic zonation model of area type sources for the
broader Aegean area, which can be readily used for seismic hazard assessment. The …

New data on the foraminifers and the regional geological setting of the Trachilos sediments
(NW Crete, Greece) from which Gierlinski et al.(Proc Geol Assoc 128: 697–710, 2017) …

Abstract The Lastros and Sfaka faults have an antithetic relationship and form a ca. 2 km
wide graben within the Ierapetra fault zone in eastern Crete. Both faults have impressive …

We report three U–Pb sulfate ages from the recently identified Intra-PQ Thrust within the
Phyllite–Quartzite (PQ) Nappe of the Ionian high-pressure belt of the external Hellenides in …

Thorough knowledge of soil lithology and its properties are of considerable importance to
agriculture. These parameters have a direct impact on water permeability and the content of …

The rich Greek cultural heritage has been always threatened by the intense seismic activity
in the broader Aegean region. Τhe objective of the presented project is to develop an …
