Active tectonics of the Aegean region

J Jackson - Annual Review Of Earth And Planetary Sciences …, 1994 - adsabs.harvard.edu
The Aegean Sea and its surrounding regions comprise one of the most rapidly deforming
parts of the Alpine-Himalayan mountain belt. Though the deformation of the belt as a whole …

Quaternary evolution of the Corinth Rift and its implications for the Late Cenozoic evolution of the Aegean

R Armijo, B Meyer, GCP King, A Rigo… - Geophysical Journal …, 1996 - academic.oup.com
We present geological and morphological observations at different scales to constrain rates
of faulting and the distribution of deformation in the seismically active Aegean region. We …

Geodetic determination of the kinematics of central Greece with respect to Europe: Implications for eastern Mediterranean tectonics

X Le Pichon, N Chamot‐Rooke… - Journal of …, 1995 - Wiley Online Library
We use a new satellite laser ranging/Global Positioning System (SLR/GPS) solution at
seven sites in Anatolia and Aegea to obtain a better definition of the extrusion motion of the …

Slab detachment beneath eastern Anatolia: A possible cause for the formation of the North Anatolian fault

C Faccenna, O Bellier, J Martinod, C Piromallo… - Earth and Planetary …, 2006 - Elsevier
In this paper, we discuss the possibility that the North Anatolian fault (NAF) results from the
deep deformation of the slab beneath the Bitlis–Hellenic subduction zone. We described the …

Crustal strain in central Greece from repeated GPS measurements in the interval 1989–1997

PJ Clarke, RR Davies, PC England… - Geophysical Journal …, 1998 - academic.oup.com
A 66-station GPS network spanning central Greece, first observed in 1989, has been
occupied fully on three occasions: June 1989, October 1991 and May 1993. Subsets of this …

[HTML][HTML] The strain rate field in the eastern Mediterranean region, estimated by repeated GPS measurements

HG Kahle, C Straub, R Reilinger, S McClusky, R King… - Tectonophysics, 1998 - Elsevier
We use the combined GPS velocity field of the eastern Mediterranean for the period 1988 to
1996 to determine crustal deformation strain rates in a region comprising the Hellenic arc …

Crustal motion and block behaviour in SE-Asia from GPS measurements

GW Michel, YQ Yu, SY Zhu, C Reigber… - Earth and Planetary …, 2001 - Elsevier
Results acquired using global positioning system (GPS) data taken over a large part of SE-
Asia, indicate that Sundaland, ie Indochina along with the western and central part of …

Coastal uplift in continental collision plate boundaries: data from the Last Interglacial marine terraces of the Gibraltar Strait area (south Spain)

C Zazo, PG Silva, JL Goy, C Hillaire-Marcel, B Ghaleb… - Tectonophysics, 1999 - Elsevier
The spatial–height analyses of deposits belonging to isotopic substages 5e and 5c indicate
the occurrence of differential uplift in the Gibraltar Strait area. Maximum mean uplift rates do …

The strain field in northwestern Greece and the Ionian Islands: results inferred from GPS measurements

HG Kahle, MV Müller, A Geiger, G Danuser, S Mueller… - Tectonophysics, 1995 - Elsevier
Recent crustal movements detected by the analysis of repeated satellite geodetic
measurements reflect the ongoing geodynamic processes in the Alpine-Mediterranean area …

Effects of atmospheric pressure loading and seven‐parameter transformations on estimates of geocenter motion and station heights from space geodetic observations

P Tregoning, T van Dam - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Variations in fluid loads such as the oceans and the atmosphere deform the surface of the
Earth. The accuracy of station coordinates, in particular, heights, that can be estimated …
