We use improved focal mechanisms and centroid depth estimates of earthquakes, combined
with GPS velocities, to examine the tectonics of the Hellenic subduction zone, and in …

Focal mechanisms of earthquakes provide two nodal planes. A foolproof method of
identifying which one is the fault plane is the “seismologist's dream.” This is true because …

On June 8, 2008 a Mw= 6.4 earthquake occurred in NW Peloponnese, western Greece. This
event is the largest strike-slip earthquake to occur in western Greece during the past 25 …

A dataset of moment magnitudes and rupture areas is compiled for 53 earthquakes that
occurred in the Mediterranean region during the period 1976–2013. Moment magnitudes of …

The development of ground motion models is an essential part of seismic hazard analysis.
Based on the stochastic finite-fault method, this study conducted a scenario-based seismic …

Kyparissiakos Gulf forms a 45km long zone located at 70–80km east from the Hellenic
trench with a general direction NNW–SSE. Onshore studies show the existence of several …

We analyzed a large number of focal mechanisms and relocated earthquake hypocenters to
investigate the geodynamics of western Greece, the most seismically active part of the …

Studies on earthquakes that occurred in the early instrumental period of seismology are of
importance for the seismic hazard assessment and are still under investigation since new …

The tectonic setting of western Peloponnese and central Ionian Islands, Greece, is
characterized by the subduction of the oceanic African plate beneath the Aegean micro …

On 8 June 2008 an earthquake of M w 6.4 took place in the northwestern part of
Peloponnese, Greece. The main shock was felt in a wide area and caused appreciable …
