Stretching of the Earth's upper crust is commonly accommodated by normal faulting, fault-
related folding and/or fracturing such as veins and joints. However, an increasing number of …

The Aegean region (Greece, western Turkey) is one of the best studied continental
extensional provinces. Here, we provide the first detailed kinematic restoration of the …

Evidence from geomorphology, the distribution of large earthquakes, and geodetic
measurements suggests that the active faulting in mainland Greece and the north Aegean …

A procedure for the consistent application of digital terrain analysis methods to identify
tectonic phenomena from geomorphology is developed and presented through two case …

Abstract The Greek Database of Seismogenic Sources (GreDaSS) is a repository of
geological, tectonic and active-fault data for the Greek territory and its surroundings. In this …

The Aegean region constitutes the overriding plate of the Africa–Eurasia convergent plate
system, in the eastern Mediterranean. To explain the fault kinematics and tectonic forces that …

In order to characterize and quantify the Middle–Late Quaternary and ongoing deformation
within the Southern Aegean forearc, we analyse the major tectonic structures affecting the …

In the Aegean area, distinct fault patterns with their associated stress regimes are evidenced
along a curved convergent plate boundary. In this article, we analyze and review late …

Abstract Following an Early Miocene phase of N–S extension affecting the entire Hellenides,
50° clockwise rotation affected western Greece. Modern GPS analyses show rapid …

Reverse-drags in extensional settings are emblematic structures that may provide imprints of
(neo) tectonic pulses, and even evidence of palaeoseismic activity. The direct pieces of …
