The Gulf of Corinth is often considered as a typical example of a more or less simple half
graben with major border faults to the south and a flexure of the northern shore. This paper …

Deep coastal notches develop through undercutting of steep coastal slopes consisting of
rocks that are strong enough to support the weight of the overburden. Notches are found …

We examine five areas of mainland Greece where active extension occurs on sub-parallel
systems of normal faults, and where geomorphological and stratigraphic evidence indicates …

The style of extension and strain distribution during the early stages of intra‐continental
rifting is important for understanding rift‐margin development and can provide constraints for …

The Aegean region constitutes the overriding plate of the Africa–Eurasia convergent plate
system, in the eastern Mediterranean. To explain the fault kinematics and tectonic forces that …

Abstract The Corinth rift (Greece) is one of the world's most active rifts. The early Plio‐
Pleistocene rift is preserved in the northern Peloponnese peninsula, south of the active …

The Gulf of Corinth in central Greece is an active normal fault zone with particularly clear
evidence of isostatic footwall uplift, constrained by Quaternary marine terraces, and hanging …

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 …

In the frame of the Corinth Rift Laboratory project, which aims to understand the relation
between stress, strain and fluid flow in an extensional context, three normal faults have been …

High resolution seismic reflection surveys over one of the most active and rapidly extending
regions in the world, the Gulf of Corinth, have revealed that the gulf is a complex asymmetric …
