The active Corinth rift records hanging-wall migration of faulting and slip-rate acceleration.
The rift initiated at approximately 5–4 Ma, and older parts are well exposed in the northern …

Syn‐rift deep‐water muds and mudstones preserve a relatively complete stratigraphic
record of tectonic and climatic events. This paper investigates mud‐dominated deposits and …

Abstract The Gulf of Corinth is one of the fastest-spreading intra-continental rifts on Earth.
GPS data indicate that the rift is currently opening in a NNE-SSW direction, with a rate of …

Megaturbidites are commonly used to reconstruct the seismic history (palaeoseismology) of
areas where large earthquakes occur. However, the depositional mechanisms and …

A major challenge in subaqueous palaeoseismology is to understand the relationship
between an earthquake/tsunami and a sedimentary event deposit recorded in drillcores …

We investigated the sedimentary processes that were active during the Holocene in the Gulf
of Corinth, using high-resolution seismic reflection profiles and gravity cores. Seismic …

Abstract The Gulf of Corinth represents an ideal setting for studying the impact of sea level
changes and regional climate on a semi-enclosed, syn-rift basin. Here we investigate the …

Continental rifting is fundamental for the formation of ocean basins, and active rift zones are
dynamic regions of high geohazard potential. However, much of what we know from the fault …

The ancient harbour of Lechaion supposedly was one of the most important harbours of the
ancient world. Representing the western harbour of Corinth at the eastern end of the Gulf of …

During the last few decades, X-ray attenuation systems have been established as standard
techniques in geosciences and as excellent scientific tools for the analysis of sedimentary …
