Aegean tectonics: Strain localisation, slab tearing and trench retreat

L Jolivet, C Faccenna, B Huet, L Labrousse… - Tectonophysics, 2013 - Elsevier
We review the geodynamic evolution of the Aegean–Anatolia region and discuss strain
localisation there over geological times. From Late Eocene to Present, crustal deformation in …

Earthquake mechanisms and active tectonics of the Hellenic subduction zone

B Shaw, J Jackson - Geophysical Journal International, 2010 - academic.oup.com

Strain migration during multiphase extension: Observations from the northern North Sea

RE Bell, CAL Jackson, PS Whipp, B Clements - Tectonics, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Many rifts develop through multiphase extension; it can be difficult, however, to determine
how strain is distributed during reactivation because structural and stratigraphic evidence …

Hazard zonation mapping of earthquake-induced secondary effects using spatial multi-criteria analysis

M Karpouza, K Chousianitis, GD Bathrellos… - Natural Hazards, 2021 - Springer
The present study aims to suggest an approach that allows the simultaneous hazard
zonation mapping of earthquake-induced secondary effects. The modeling process of the …

Rapid spatiotemporal variations in rift structure during development of the Corinth Rift, central Greece

CW Nixon, LC McNeill, JM Bull, RE Bell… - …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The Corinth Rift, central Greece, enables analysis of early rift development as it is
young (< 5 Ma) and highly active and its full history is recorded at high resolution by …

Tectono‐sedimentary evolution of the Plio‐Pleistocene Corinth rift, Greece

RL Gawthorpe, MR Leeder, H Kranis, E Skourtsos… - Basin …, 2018 - earthdoc.org
The onshore central Corinth rift contains a syn‐rift succession> 3 km thick deposited in 5–15

Strain and rotation rate patterns of mainland Greece from continuous GPS data and comparison between seismic and geodetic moment release

K Chousianitis, A Ganas… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
We processed data from~ 100 continuous GPS stations to provide new insights into the
crustal motion and deformation of central and western Greece. We used the derived velocity …

The offshore East African Rift System: Structural framework at the toe of a juvenile rift

D Franke, W Jokat, S Ladage, H Stollhofen… - …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library

Hyper-extended rift systems in the Xisha Trough, northwestern South China Sea: Implications for extreme crustal thinning ahead of a propagating ocean

C Lei, J Ren - Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2016 - Elsevier
From the apex of the NW Sub-basin of the South China Sea, we present new long-cable
deep-penetration seismic profiles and deepwater drillings together with corrected seismic …
