  • Active Tectonics of the Corinth Gulf, Greece, the Fastest Growing Rift on Planet Earth
    Active tectonics of the Corinth Gulf, Greece, the fastest growing rift on planet Earth (Dr. Athanassios Ganas) Abstract: Since the beginning of the instrumental seismology in Greece, the most intense seismic activity has been recorded within the Corinth rift and its vicinity such as the central Ionian Sea. This rift is the most active continental seismic region of the Mediterranean and one of the fastest opening continental rifts in the world. Its seismic history since the nineteenth century has exhibited more than 10 shallow events with M>6.0. A dense GPS velocity field is used to model the present-day deformation by means of a continuous strain and rotation rate field. The geodetic results quantify and refine previous findings as well as yield new insights for the present-day deformation pattern in the Gulf of Corinth rift. The consistency of the contemporary deformation field with earthquake activity is also evaluated by the calculation of geodetic moment rates and comparison with moment rates determined from earthquake catalogs. In this café, Dr. Athanassios Ganas presented briefly why Corinth Gulf is known as the fastest growing rift on planet earth by the support of his recent research results. Host: Good evening ladies and gentlemen. This is English GeoScience Café session 18. It’s a great pleasure for me to introduce our speaker tonight, who is going to talk to us about “Active tectonics of the Corinth Gulf, Greece, the fastest growing rift on planet Earth”. We are honored and delighted to have Dr. Athanassios Ganas with us today. Dr. Athanassios Ganas completed his PhD in Geological Remote Sensing from the University of Reading, UK.

This rift was formed by normal slip on big faults which extend the crust of the Earth in the N-S direction. The morphotectonic indices (hypsometric curve, hypsometric integral, drainage basin asymmetry, ratio of valley floor width to valley height) have been estimated using the 20-m digital elevation model of this area and the ARC software. The normal faults of the study area have been extracted by use of a DEM mosaic of 20- m pixel size, satellite images from Landsat 7 ETM+ and SRTM 90m. Our results highlight the recent activity of the Psathopyrgos normal fault on the basis of a series of morphotectonic evidence and suggest the existence of a single fault segment for a distance of 16 km.

These fault zones correspond to more or less complex rangefronts, the geomorphic characteristics of which provide hints on the details of the fault zone geometries, adding to the existing geological data in the bibliography. Aiming at the identification of locations suitable or potentially suitable for geomorphological and geological studies for the determination of fault slip rates in the Holocene, we describe cases of faulted Holocene landforms and associated surficial deposits. We also discuss problems involved in finding locations suitable for geological (paleoseismological) studies for the determination of the timing of recent earthquake ruptures, problems due to both man-made and natural causes.

Geomorphological and geological observations define the general morphotectonic context of these deposits, which predicts a pattern of differential uplift. Uplift rate estimates based on previous geochronological data (ranging from 0.4 to 6 mm/yr) are discussed in the proposed morphotectonic context of differential uplift, together with estimates from new geochronological data.

Received 1996 March 19; in original form 1995 July 17 SUMMARY We present the results of a dense seismological experiment in the western part of the Gulf of Corinth (Psathopyrgos-Aigion area), one of the most active rifts in the Aegean region for which we have precise tectonic information. The network included 51 digital stations that operated during July and August 1991, covering a surface of 40 x 40 km2. Among the 5000 recorded events with MLranging between 1.0 and 3.0, we precisely located 774 events. We obtained 148 well-constrained focal mechanisms using P-wave first motions. Of these, 60 also have mechanisms obtained by combining the P-wave first motions with the S-wave polarization directions. The observed seismicity is mainly located between 6 and 11 km depth.
