We analyze S-receiver functions to investigate lies on studies that examined the data from several temporary variations of lithospheric thickness below the entire region and permanent seismic networks (e.g., Angus et al., 2006; of Turkey and surrounding areas. The teleseismic data used Sodoudi et al., 2006, 2015; Gök et al., 2007, 2015; Vanacore here have been compiled combining all permanent seismic et al., 2013; Vinnik et al., 2014). Interpretations from these stations which are open to public access. We obtained almost studies are either confined to a limited region or to a limited 12 000 S-receiver function traces characterizing the seismic depth extent, i.e., to crustal depths only. Thus, the variations discontinuities between the Moho and the discontinuity at of lithospheric thickness have not yet been homogeneously 410 km depth.

  • 54. Mesozoic–Tertiary Tectonic Evolution of the Easternmost Mediterranean Area: Integration of Marine and Land Evidence1
    Robertson, A.H.F., Emeis, K.-C., Richter, C., and Camerlenghi, A. (Eds.), 1998 Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program, Scientific Results, Vol. 160 54. MESOZOIC–TERTIARY TECTONIC EVOLUTION OF THE EASTERNMOST MEDITERRANEAN AREA: INTEGRATION OF MARINE AND LAND EVIDENCE1 Alastair H.F. Robertson2 ABSTRACT This paper presents a synthesis of Holocene to Late Paleozoic marine and land evidence from the easternmost Mediterra- nean area, in the light of recent ODP Leg 160 drilling results from the Eratosthenes Seamount. The synthesis is founded on three key conclusions derived from marine- and land-based study over the last decade. First, the North African and Levant coastal and offshore areas represent a Mesozoic rifted continental margin of Triassic age, with the Levantine Basin being under- lain by oceanic crust. Second, Mesozoic ophiolites and related continental margin units in southern Turkey and Cyprus repre- sent tectonically emplaced remnants of a southerly Neotethyan oceanic basin and are not far-travelled units derived from a single Neotethys far to the north. Third, the present boundary of the African and Eurasian plates runs approximately east-west across the easternmost Mediterranean and is located between Cyprus and the Eratosthenes Seamount. The marine and land geology of the easternmost Mediterranean is discussed utilizing four north-south segments, followed by presentation of a plate tectonic reconstruction for the Late Permian to Holocene time. INTRODUCTION ocean (Figs. 2, 3; Le Pichon, 1982). The easternmost Mediterranean is defined as that part of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea located east ° The objective here is to integrate marine- and land-based geolog- of the Aegean (east of 28 E longitude).

    Tectonics and Magmatism in Turkey and the Surrounding Area Geological Society Special Publications Series Editors A. J. HARTLEY R. E. HOLDSWORTH A. C. MORTON M. S. STOKER Special Publication reviewing procedures The Society makes every effort to ensure that the scientific and production quality of its books matches that of its journals. Since 1997, all book proposals have been refereed by specialist reviewers as well as by the Society's Publications Committee. If the referees identify weaknesses in the proposal, these must be addressed before the proposal is accepted. Once the book is accepted, the Society has a team of series editors (listed above) who ensure that the volume editors follow strict guidelines on refereeing and quality control. We insist that individual papers can only be accepted after satisfactory review by two independent referees. The questions on the review forms are similar to those for Journal of the Geological Society. The referees' forms and comments must be available to the Society's series editors on request. Although many of the books result from meetings, the editors are expected to commission papers that were not presented at the meeting to ensure that the book provides a balanced coverage of the subject. Being accepted for presentation at the meeting does not guarantee inclusion in the book. Geological Society Special Publications are included in the ISI Science Citation Index, but they do not have an impact factor, the latter being applicable only to journals. More information about submitting a proposal and producing a Special Publication can be found on the Society's web site: www.geolsoc.org.uk.

In space, the active Hellenic subduction front is dextrally offset by 100– 120 km across the Kephalonia Transform Zone, coinciding with the junction of a slowly subducting Adria- tic continental lithosphere in the north (5–10 mm/yr) and a rapidly subducting Ionian oceanic lithosphere in the south (∼35 mm/yr).

  • A Remote Sensing Perspective
    Δελτίο Ελληνικής Γεωλογικής Εταιρίας τομ. XLIV, 2011 54 Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece vol. XLIV, 2011 Geomorphological and Environmental changes in West- ern Greece: a remote sensing perspective (1) (1) EMMANUEL VASSILAKIS & EFTHIMIA VERYKIOU - PAPASPYRIDAKOU ABSTRACT Several rapid geomorphological changes can be detected on the landscape of western Greece since the area is adjacent to the highly active Hellenic trench, where major geodynamic phenomena occur. At this part of the Hellenides, various active structures have been affecting the shallow layers of the overriding plate, due to tectonic movements and in some cases gypsum diapirism. Additionally, lots of environmental implications have been reported since a significant amount of development infrastructure is still being constructed in this area for more than the last twenty years, affecting the slower physical ongoing processes. The outcropping erodible lithologies of flysch in conjunction with the existence of high energy rivers reveal a rapidly evolving area with dynamic topography, which can be identified by using the appropriate methodologies. Remote sensing techniques prove to be the ideal way to locate changes at the physical geography of the studied area, especially when multi- temporal interpretation is implemented. In this paper we try to locate and analyze these changes by using medium resolution satellite images (Landsat TM and ETM+) of different temporal periods (1992, 2000 and 2005). After special interpretation of the acquired remote sensing images, which involves detailed co-registration and spectral analysis, the identified changes can be temporally cate- gorized between the three acquisition dates. The methodology requires the compilation of new sepa- rate datasets, one for each spectral channel from the three Landsat images, in order to detect chang- es in the absorption and reflection spectra for specific bandwidths.

It struck on a seg- ment of the North Anatolian fault ~100 km east of Istanbul, one of the most heavily pop- ulated and industrially developed regions of the country. The earthquake caused a 120 km surface rupture (with an unmapped extension beneath Izmit Bay) with right-lat- eral offsets of 1.5–5 m. Apart from the loss of life and property, the Izmit earthquake is remarkable in being the latest in a series of 11 major (M >6.7) earthquakes this century that have broken more than a 1000 km length Figure 1.

    Δελτίο της Ελληνικής Γεωλογικής Εταιρίας, 2010 Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece, 2010 Πρακτικά 12ου Διεθνούς Συνεδρίου Proceedings of the 12th International Congress Πάτρα, Μάιος 2010 Patras, May, 2010 MAJOR PALEOGEOGRAPHIC, TECTONIC AND GEODYNAMIC CHANGES FROM THE LAST STAGE OF THE HELLENIDES TO THE ACTUAL HELLENIC ARC AND TRENCH SYSTEM Papanikolaou D. 1 University of Athens, Department of Dynamic, Tectonic, Applied Geology, Panepistimioupoli 15784, Athens, Greece, [email protected] Abstract Present day location and geometry of the Hellenic arc and trench system is only a small portion of the previously developed Hellenic arc that created the Hellenides orogenic system. The timing of dif- ferentiation is constrained in Late Miocene, when the arc was divided in a northern and a southern segment. This is based on: a) the dating of the last compressive structures observed all along the Hel- lenides during Oligocene to Middle-Late Miocene, b) on the time of initiation of the Kephalonia transform fault, c) on the time of opening of the North Aegean Basin and d) on the time of opening of new arc parallel basins in the south and new transverse basins in the central shear zone, sepa- rating the rapidly moving southwestwards Hellenic subduction system from the slowly converging system of the Northern Hellenides. The driving mechanism of the arc differentiation is the hetero- geneity produced by the different subducting slabs in the north (continental) and in the south (oceanic) and the resulted shear zone because of the retreating plate boundary producing a roll back mechanism in the present arc and trench system.

  • CALL for Protection of the Hellenic Trench from Hydrocarbon Exploration and Exploitation
    CALL for Protection of the Hellenic Trench from hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation To: The Prime Minister of Greece, Mr. Alexis Tsipras The undersigned organizations and individuals call for im- mediate and effective protection of the Hellenic Trench from offshore hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation. In recent years, a large offshore marine area (approximately 56,000 sq. km) has been granted as concessions to the oil and gas industry for hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation. This area extends from the north of Corfu to Southern Crete and largely overlaps with a large part of the west and south Hellenic Trench, a critical habitat and marine biodiversity hotspot of global ecological importance. The Hellenic Trench is a core habitat for the endangered Mediterranean sperm whale’s subpopulation. It is estimated that only 250 individuals live in the entire eastern Med- iterranean basin and the Hellenic Trench constitutes their only known breeding area. The Hellenic Trench is also the largest among the five high-density areas for the vul- nerable Cuvier’s beaked whale in the Mediterranean. Fin whales, bottlenose, common, Risso’s, striped and rough-toothed dolphins, Mediterranean monk seals, but also sea turtles are found in the Hellenic Trench. These species are included in Annex II to the Protocol of the Barcelona Convention concerning Specially Protected Areas and Biological Diversity in the Mediterranean, and in Annex IV to the Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC. Parties to the Convention and Member States of the European Union are required to establish strict measures to ensure their effective conservation. The paramount ecological significance of the Hellenic Trench has been recognized by international agreements, such as the Agreement for the Conservation of Cetaceans in the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Contiguous Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS).

SUMMARY Information on fault zone structure is essential for our understanding of earthquake mechanics, continental deformation and our understanding of seismic hazard. We use the scattered seismic wavefield to study the subsurface structure of the North-Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) in the region of the 1999 Izmit˙ and Düzce rupture using data from an 18-month dense deployment of seismometers with a nominal station spacing of 7 km. Using the forward and backscattered energy following the direct P-wave arrival from teleseismic earthquakes, we apply a scattered wave inversion approach and are able to resolve fine-scale changes in lithospheric structure on scales of 10 km or less in an area of about 130 km by 100 km across the NAFZ.
