... yield within a high-resolution stratigraphic framework developed for the Alkyonides basin, central Greece. Latest Quaternary highstand deposits are distinguished from lowstand Lake Corinth deposits on the basis of seismic reflection data and micropaleontological and palynological analyses of drop cores...

... of the South Alkyonides Fault has systematically beheaded drainage, forming footwall wind gaps and enclosed hanging-wall basins. Dated marine and terrestrial sediments allow estimation of the timing of wind gap formation and rates of lateral propagation of the South Alkyonides Fault. The western and eastern...

...Fig. 3.  Schematic section along the line A–B in Figure 1 across the eastern part of the Alkyonides Gulf and Megara basin to show major morphological features useful in parameterization of rates of uplift and subsidence associated with displacements along the active Psatha–East Alkyonides...

... and erosional rates. Extrapolation of these rates indicate that some 350 m of footwall relief has been produced over approximately 1 Ma. Most of the sediment eroded from the uplifting footwall is presumed to have been re-sedimented into the Alkyonides Gulf basin plain during this time. The prominent footwall...

... is considered an inactive relict of early rifting, yet the presence of late Quaternary shorelines is evidence of continuing uplift of the north, east and south margins of this basin. Models to explain uplift include uplift on the footwall of the southern Alkyonides Gulf fault system and the Xylocastro–Perachora...

... of the active major fault strand that bounds the SE margin of the Alkyonides Gulf. The Megara Basin is a WNW-ESE structure that lies between the eastern extension of the Gulf of Corinth, the Gulf of Alkyonides, in the north and the Saronic Gulf to the south (Fig. 1). Regional seismo-tectonic results (Jackson et...

... be seen along the basin (western Gulf of Corinth, central of Corinth, and Alkyonides Gulf). The isopach has been smoothed using the Petrel smoothing process, with an iteration of 1 and a filter width of 4 (∼200 m). Fault names: PF—Psathopyrgos Fault, TF—Trizonia Fault, AEF—Aigion Fault, WCF—West Channel...

...Gerald P. Roberts Abstract The orientations of subseismic-scale faults vary systematically along the strike of basin-bounding, active normal faults in Italy and Greece. A total of 16,272 outcrop measurements of the strike and dip of fault planes and their associated slip vectors indicate oblique...

... an unfaulted hanging wall-block along the southwestern margin of the Megara basin. (2) Along its northern and northwestern margins, the Gerania Range is located in the footwall of active coastal faults that border the southern margin of the Alkyonides Gulf ( Leeder et al., 2002 ). About 400 m of footwall...

...; thus activity focused on N-dipping faults resulting in sediment thickening to the south. Overall, the net basin geometry caused by these two facing, subsiding, half grabens with differing border-fault polarity resembles a symmetric graben. Deformation in the eastern Gulf of Corinth and the Alkyonides...

...). At the eastern end of this major basin-bounding fault system, along the southern shores of the Gulf of Alkyonides, faulting is expressed onshore as a series of discontinuous fault strands that delimit the northern flanks of the carbonate-dominated Gerania Mountains (Fig. 3). Some of these fault strands were...

...-term U:S from the eastern Gulf in the Alkyonides Basin from seismically imaged depth to hanging-wall basement and footwall topography suggests ratios of 1:2.2–2.6 (R. Collier, unpubl. data). A ratio of c . 1:2 was calculated for coseismic deformation on the Aigion fault during the 1995 Aigion...

.... The time histories of water- surface fluctuations at selected locations are also calculated. A 3D time visualization of the expected tsunami wave field all over the Corinth Gulf is also derived. The Gulf of Corinth is an elongated fjord-like basin in central Greece, extending from the Rio straits...
