High-resolution seismic imaging of the western Hellenic subduction zone using teleseismic scattered waves

Abstract: S U M M A R YThe active Hellenic subduction system has long been considered an ideal setting for studying subduction dynamics because it is easily accessible and of limited spatial extent. It has been the focus of numerous seismological studies over the last few decades but, nonetheless, the detailed structure of both the slab and the surrounding mantle remain poorly constrained in an intermediate depth range from 30 to 150 km. The objective of this paper is to fill this gap. The intermediate depth regime is o… Show more

“…Recently, receiver function studies have obtained new constraints on the nature of the subducting African plate mainly in the western Hellenic arc (e.g. Sodoudi et al, 2006;Suckale et al, 2009;Gesret et al, 2011;Pearce et al, 2012). The base of the subducting African lithosphere has been demonstrated down to a depth of about 225 km beneath the volcanic arc using converted Sto-P waves (e.g.…”

“…The situation is less clear for the Kefalonia Fault; seismic tomography (Spakman et al, 1988;Piromallo et al, 2006;Suckale et al, 2009) possibly reveals a discontinuous slab and more detailed seismic experiments suggest that the surface of the slab is offset horizontally by some 100 km across the Kefalonia Fault (Gesret et al, 2011). However, whether the mantle flows through a potential Kefalonia window remains uncertain, and it is most likely small, if any.…”

“…Tomographic studies appear not to be suitable because their resolution is generally insufficient to image such a thin channel. Methods using scattered or converted teleseismic waves (Bostock, 2002;Suckale et al, 2009) have potential to reach a resolution on the order of 10 km, but it is questionable whether they could distinguish the subduction channel from the oceanic crust. An alternative approach could be to search for specific phases in the seismic records which may serve as indicators for the existence of a channel.…”
