  • Onshore Drilling Outcomes in Kefalonia Issued 16 September 2015
    Onshore Drilling Outcomes in Kefalonia Issued 16 September 2015 Summary The results of the geoscientific campaign unveiled a complex geo-tectonic and geological landscape beneath the Thinia valley, the isthmus separating the western peninsula of Paliki from the rest of Kefalonia. It has superseded the simple side-wall collapse and in-fill hypothesis and has raised another possibility, that of a massive rotational slump, leading to a toe-thrust and the elevation of an ancient marine channel. The critical question then becomes one of timing: could this rotational slump have occurred recently (in the last ~3,200 years) and therefore be responsible for in-filling and displacement of a Mycenaean age marine channel? Other promising findings include the discovery of ancient beach deposits buried under land-slip infill at the northern end of the Thinia valley and evidence of an ancient marine harbour that reached the foot of Kastelli Hill and that contained radiocarbon-datable samples attributable to the Bronze Age. An anomalous late-period lakebed, now dried out, is another intriguing finding. It is also worth reiterating that Mycenaean-era sites have been previously identified on both the western peninsula (called Paliki) and the remaining part of the island of Kefalonia, confirming that this land is of considerable historical and archaeological interest dating to the period in question. The geological research sponsored by Fugro and directed by Professor John Underhill has been completed safely, successfully and with no harm to the environment. Thinia valley panorama looking east from Paliki Project Background The objective of this phase of geoscientific research has been to test the proposition that the island of Ithaca may have been accurately described in Homer’s Odyssey as the furthest west of a group of four islands off the western coast of Greece, facing dusk, the open sea and being of low elevation.

  • Applicant UNESCO Global Geopark
    Applicant UNESCO Global Geopark Kefalonia-Ithaca, Greece Geographical and geological summary 1. Physical and human geography The Kefalonia – Ithaca applicant UNESCO Global Geopark is located in Western Greece (SE Europe). It is an island complex (Kefalonia-Ithaca-Atokos-Arkoudi) belonging to the Heptanese (Ionian Sea). It is located 340,3 km from Athens, the capital of Greece and 165.37 and 258 km from Albania and Italy respectively. Its surface area reaches 3.006 km2 and includes 913,075 km2 of land and 2.092,9 km2 of marine area. The geopark ‘s area belongs administratively to the Ionian Islands Perfecture. Kefalonia (38°12′44′′ N 20°32′00′′ E) occupies an area of 773 km2. Its capital city is Argostoli. According to the last census, 35.801 inhabitants were recorded living mainly in coastal settlements. Ithaca (38°23′59.28′′ N 20°41′21.11′′E) follows in size with 117 km2 surface area. Vathi is the capital city. In winter 3.084 residents are living on the island but in the summer the population is more than double. The local residents in the geopark ‘s area are mostly occupied with agriculture, fishery and tourism. Especially tourism plays an important role in the economic development of the area. Atokos (4,4 km2) and Arkoudi (4,275 km2) are small desolated islands north of Ithaca. Kefalonia includes four main peninsulas (Paliki, Erisos, Livatho and Atro). The mean altitude of the island is 358,5m. Approximately 37.5% is occupied by mountains, 42,5% is semi-mountainous and 20% is occupied by lowland areas.

The 2018 Report is extremely important to us, as 2018 signals the operational completion of our project, and during this year: A) Both the construction and the full operation of the Ionia Odos motorway have been completed, a project linking 2 Regions, 4 prefectures and 10 Municipalities, giving a boost to development not only in Western Greece and Epirus, but in the whole country, B) Significant infrastructure upgrade projects have also been designed, implemented and completed at the A.TH.E Motorway section from Metamorphosis in Attica to Scarfia, a section we operate, maintain and manage. During the first year of the full operation of the motorways - with 500 employees in management and operation, with more than 350 kilometres of modern, safe motorways in 7 prefectures of our country with a multitude of local communities - we incorporated in our daily operations actions, activities and programs we had designed, aiming at supporting and implementing the key strategic and development pillars of our company for the upcoming years.

    THE GEODYNAMIC AND SEISMOTECTONIC SETTING OF CEPHALONIA (IONIAN SEA, WESTERN GREECE) AS FACTOR CONTROLLING THE DISTRIBUTION OF EARTHQUAKE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS AND STRUCTURAL DAMAGE INDUCED BY THE EARLY 2014 EARTHQUAKES (JANUARY 26th and FEBRUARY 3rd, Mw 6.0) by LEKKAS, E., MAVROULIS, S., ALEXOUDI, V. National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, School of Sciences, Faculty of Geology and Geoenvironment, Department of Dynamic Tectonic Applied Geology Cephalonia is the largest of the Ionian Islands in Western Greece and is located on the tectonic front of the Hellenic thrust and fold belt developed only a few km east of the Hellenic Trench representing an active plate boundary where the Eastern Mediterranean lithosphere is being subducted beneath the Aegean one. The subduction zone terminates against the Cephalonia Transform Fault Zone connecting the subduction boundary to the continental collision between the Apulian microplate and the Hellenic foreland and playing a significant role in the region's geodynamic complexity. Historical seismic data indicate that Cephalonia has been repeatedly struck by moderate and strong, shallow earthquakes producing large seismic intensities and causing a large number of human casualties and great economic losses. One more episode in the geodynamic evolution of the island is the early 2014 earthquake sequence comprising two main shocks with the same magnitude (Mw 6.0) occurring successively in short time (January 26th and February 3rd) and space (neotectonic macrostructure of Paliki peninsula in the western part of Cephalonia). According to geological data collected in the field during our reconnaissance immediately after both earthquakes, it is concluded that each earthquake was induced by the rupture of a different pre-existing active fault zone located in Paliki peninsula.

Upper-plate structural controls on the segmentation of the Kefalonia Fault (Ionian Sea, Greece) Emmanuel Skourtsos, Haralambos Kranis, Spyridon Mavroulis, and Efthimios Lekkas National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Geology & Geoenvironment, Dynamic, Tectonic & Applied Geology, Athens, Greece ([email protected]) The NNE-SSW, right-lateral Kefalonia Transform Fault (KTF) marks the western termination of the subducting Hellenic slab, which is a part of the oceanic remnant of the African plate. The inception of the KTF, described as a STEP fault, is placed in the Pliocene. KTF is considered to be the most active earthquake source in the Eastern Mediterranean. During the last two decades, four significant earthquakes (M>6.0) have been associated with the KTF. These events are attributed to the reactivation of different segments of the KTF, which are (from North to South) the North Lefkada, South Lefkada, Fiskardo, Paliki and Zakynthos segments: the North Lefkada segment ruptured in the 2003 earthquake, the 2014 Kefalonia events are associated with the Paliki segment and the 2015 Lefkada earthquake with the South Lefkada (and possibly the Fiskardo) segments. The upper plate structure in the islands of Lefkada and Kefalonia is characterized by the Ionian Unit, thrusted over the Paxi (or Pre-Apulian) Unit. The Ionian Thrust, which brings the Ionian over the Paxi Unit, is a main upper-plate NNW-SSE, NE-dipping structure. It runs through the island of Lefkada, to be mapped onshore again at the western coast of Ithaki and at SE Kefalonia.
