- Abstract:
- We propose to carry out a 5-year programme of continuous GPS measurements of deformation in the Southern Hellenic subduction zone. Our aims are (i) to determine the degree of coupling across the zone, and hence the rate at which potentially seismic strain is accumulating: (ii) to measure the extent to which aseismic strain is occurring and to determine whether it takes place by continuous slip or by one of the newly-documented mechanisms of transient creep; (iii) to attempt to monitor transient creep events on the timescale of hours to years in order to cast light on these poorly understood events; (iv) to monitor active surface uplift of the Southern Peloponnessos and Crete: (v) by a field programme targeted at the uplifted shorelines of Crete and adjacent islands, to tie the measurements of surface uplift to the millennial-scale record.
