- Abstract:
- A thorough understanding of models of continental rift deformation is reliant on quantitative fault analysis in both onshore and offshore regions of a rift. A growing body of short and long-term strain rates onshore and the availability of an offshore sequence stratigraphic chronology make the Gulf of Corinth, Greece an ideal site for the application of new (JREI funded) high resolution shallow water marine geophysical tools to assess rift fault segment length, distribution of extensional strain across and along the rift, fault control on basinal deposition and seismic hazard. The results of this research will be disseminated to the broader scientific community and to regional civic protection agencies for hazard mitigation via the WWW.
