Abstract Following an Early Miocene phase of N–S extension affecting the entire Hellenides,
50° clockwise rotation affected western Greece. Modern GPS analyses show rapid …

The intermontane basin of Ptolemais is part of a major tectonic trench, located in NW Greece
and includes around 65% of Greek coal reserves. The Upper Xylite Layer (UXL) is a distinct …

Coal samples from Florina (Vevi), Lava, Moschopotamos and Kalavryta basins, Greece,
have been subjected to petrographic and organic geochemical analysis. The reflectance of …

Brown coal exploitation in Greece is of primary interest because it is an abundant domestic
energy resource that contributes more than 70% in total electricity production. Greek brown …

In Greece, coal-forming conditions prevailed mainly during Neogene and Quaternary times
in several intermontane and paralic basins and resulted in the formation of significant peat …

The aim of this study is to interpret the palaeoenvironmental conditions established during
the formation of several lignite seams at the Mavropigi deposit, Ptolemais, Greece (corehole …

The aim of this study is to provide useful coal-petrographic data, which will further help the
characterization, exploitation, and utilization of the Kardia lignite deposit and also initially to …

With the present study it is intended to assess the depositional palaeoenvironment of the
lower part of the Lignite-bearing Sequence in the Ptolemais Basin, and more specifically in …

In Northern Péloponnèse (southern Greece) several lignite seams occur, many of which
were exploited in the past decades. In the small Graikas basin, in the upland Aigialia, a 2.5 …
