Professor, Technical University of Athens, Greece ST.CHRISTOULAS, Ass. Professor, Technical University of Athens, Greece N.KALTEZIOTIS, Public Works Research Center, Athens, Greece G.TSIAMBAOS, Public Works Research Center, Athens, Greece SYNOPSIS: The Corinth Canal is of great importance regarding the navigation in the Mediterranean Sea and the railway and roadway transportation between Peloponnese and the Central Greece. For a better understanding of the mechanical behaviour of the marls, found in abundance in the narrow zone of the Corinth Canal, investigations of laboratory and in situ testing have been carried out including: Dril­ ling of boreholes and sampling; laboratory testing (determination of Atterberg limits, unconfined and triaxial compression tests, residual shear strength characteristics of the different types of marls involved, consolidation tests, etc.); mineralogical analysis by using X-Ray diffraction techniques and electronic microscopy. In this paper after considering the Engineering geological aspects of the area, results of the tests described above are presented and critically discussed, some correlations are given and some comparisons with marls from other areas of Greece are considered.

  • Uplift, Deformation and Fluid Involvement Within an Active Normal Fault Zone in the Gulf of Corinth, Greece
    Journal ofthe Geological Society, London, Vol. 151, 1994, pp. 531-541, 7 figs. Printed in Northern Ireland Uplift, deformation and fluid involvement within an active normal fault zone in the Gulf of Corinth, Greece GERALDROBERTS' & IAIN STEWART' 'Research School of Geological and Geophysical Sciences, Birkbeck College and University College London, Gower Street, London WClE 6BT, UK 'Division of Geography and Geology, West London Institute, College of Brunel University, Borough Road, Isleworth TW7 SOU, UK Abstrart: The active Pisia Fault Zone is exposed close to the crest of a rotated carbonate fault-block that forms part of the southern margin to the Gulf of Corinth half-grabenin central Greece. The crest of the fault-block lies above sea-level whilstin the hanging-wall a marine basin exists. As a result, the diagenetic and structural characteristics of the fault zone record complexfluid involvement. Both early phreatic carbonate syn-kinematic cements (characterized by drusy fabrics, baroque dolomites and crack-seal textures) and late vadose carbonate syn-kinematic cements (characterized by flowstones containing cave-collapse debris) exist in the uplifted footwall to the fault. Downward percolation of vadose meteoric waters and the upwelling of pore waters with elevated temperatures produced the diagenetic features observed within the fault zone. The co-existenceof early phreatic and late vadose cementswithin the fault zone is related to footwall uplift across the water-table and subsequent erosionalunroofing. The present-day elevation of phreaticcements to c. 650mabove current sea-level, providesa minimum estimate of footwall uplift along the fault. The wider implication is that temporal changes in deformation and fluid flow may typify fault-block evolution.

  • Ceramic Production and Exchange in the Late Mycenaean Saronic Gulf
    Ceramic Production and Exchange in the Late Mycenaean Saronic Gulf William D. Gilstrap A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Archaeology University of Sheffield February 2015 Abstract This thesis examines the production, exchange and consumption of pottery around the Saronic Gulf, Greece, during Late Mycenaean period, specifically Late Helladic IIIB1 to Late Helladic IIIC Phase 1, roughly 1300-1130 BC. While the focus of many studies of Mycenaean political economy has fallen on Messinia and the Argolid, the choice of the Saronic Gulf offers the chance to examine ceramic crafting, movement and use in an area which hosts no accepted ‘palatial’ centres. It aims to examine the role of pottery in everyday social and economic transaction, taking a ‘bottom-up’ approach to shedding light on Mycenaean society and economy. Pottery from a wide range of sites has been studied: urban centres such as Athens; harbours at Kanakia on Salamis and Kalamianos in coastal Corinthia; small settlements of Stiri in Corinthia, Myti Kommeni on Dokos and Lazarides on Aegina; sanctuary sites of Eleusis and Ayios Konstantinos, Methana; and finally the settlement and pottery production site of Kontopigado, Alimos near the Attic coast. Based on typological and macroscopic fabric studies, a large number of samples have been chosen for examination by an integrated programme of petrographic, chemical (by neutron activation analysis) and microstructural analysis (by scanning electron microscopy), in order to group and characterise to pottery according to composition, to reconstruct key aspects of ceramic manufacture and, where possible, to suggest the area or location of their production.

  • Megara's Harbours
    Chapter 4 KLAUS FREITAG – Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule, Aachen [email protected] With and Without You: Megara’s Harbours The main question that will be addressed in this article is whether and how the harbour towns of the Megarid constituted local places in their own right. Exploring the entangled history of the polis Megara and its ports, this paper also points to the complexities behind scholarly approximations to the local horizon of an ancient Greek city-state. Population Figures and Territory Sizes The estimated population of Megara in the fifth century was c. 40,000. 1 In some calculations this figure includes a high number of slaves, c. 15,000 (cf. Plut. Demetr. 9).2 In the Hellenistic period, the number appears to have been significantly smaller. We note that, while 3,000 Megarian hoplites had fought at Plataia in 479 BCE, in 279 BCE, Megara only sent 400 hoplites to Thermopylai to face the Galatian Invasion. 3 This reduction might have been due, in part, to the secession of Pagai and Aigosthena. The epigraphic evidence from Aigosthena, discussed above, informs the estimation of population figures there, at least in the third century BCE. According to Beloch, the 1 Legon 1981: 23, based on estimations of agricultural capacities. 2 Legon 2005: 463. 3 Paus. 10.20.4; cf. Legon 1981: 301, who doubts that this was the full contingent.

Here we show that the elastic flexure dynamics of the uplifting southern shoulder of the rapidly-extending, asymmetric Corinth Rift (Greece) are recorded in 3D by its fluvial network. We explore the evolution of the mechanical flexure of the lithosphere at rift full length by means of DEM-based river profile analysis of a series

  • Evaluation of Burned Areas with Sentinel-2 Using Snap: the Case of Kineta and Mati, Greece, July 20181
    Geographia Technica, Vol. 14, Issue 2, 2019, pp 20 to 38 EVALUATION OF BURNED AREAS WITH SENTINEL-2 USING SNAP: THE CASE OF KINETA AND MATI, GREECE, JULY 20181 Kamill Daniel KOVÁCS2 DOI: 10.21163/GT_2019.142.03 ABSTRACT: The aim of this paper is to compare the two largest forest fires that occurred in Greece in July 2018 using metrics for burned area and burn severity mapping, derived only from free satellite data. Sentinel-2 satellite images of the European Space Agency (ESA) within the Copernicus program provide a spatial resolution of 10 m, which facilitates more accurate monitoring of environmental phenomena such as forest fires. The processing of the satellite images and the calculation of the metrics was performed using SNAP software, which is an open-source software developed by ESA. The mapping of the obtained results was performed in the QGIS software, which is also an open-source software. The delimitation of the burned area and the classification of the severity of both wildfires was performed using the Relativized Burn Ratio (RBR) satellite index. These results were contrasted with the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (EMS) maps related to these two events. Our results obtained in relation to the size of the burned area show smaller affected areas than the Copernicus Emergency Management Service maps. This is explained by the different methods used in the delimitation of the burned areas. In the case of Mati’s wildfire the EMS has created the thematic layer by means of visual interpretation using post-event satellite image and in the case of Kineta’s wildfire was applied a semi-automatic approach.
