“…Although sedimentary and morphological traces of many paleoshores can be seen along the southwest coasts of Rhodes Island, one of best is seen on the southern slopes of the Prophitis Elias (Prophet Elijah) in south of Archangelos village and on the northern edge of Agathibeach. Prophitis Elias hill is formed by Triassic-Cretaceous limestones (Lekkas et al, 2007). Limestones are cut by normal faults trending approximately in N-S direction.…”

Shorelines are important boundaries separating the erosional and the depositional areas. Determining the location of the shorelines in geological time sand how it changes by the time is one of the major problems of geology. The most accurate estimate of the location of the shoreline, which is a dynamic structure, in the period when it was exist is very important in palaeogeographic studies. The determination of coastal changes by the time provides valuable information on active tectonic sand climate, and the relationships between these two. The most basic approach to determine the paleoshoreline is to estimate the geological events on the sea and land sidesand thus to estimate the location of it indirectly. For this purpose, if the physical, chemical and biological conditions of the depositional environments from land to shore and from there to the basin and which land part and how fed this environment can be revealed, the location of the shoreline can be estimated. Incontrast, some field observations provide direct and much more precise data for identifying the paleoshorelines. In this paper, it will be introduced how somerock-boring organisms, wave-cut feature sand coastal sediments can be used to estimate the paleoshorelines based on two examples of Quaternary sediments in Hatay and Rhodes Island along th Mediterranean coastand on some Eocen esediments in the vicinity of Çorum, Central Anatolia.

“…They present differences in their geological structure, including the participation of geotectonic units of the Internal Carbonate Platform in the geological structure of Attica, which are absent from the southern island part of the region, where the geotectonic units of the External Carbonate Platform and the Pindos Oceanic Basin predominate [31]. Their neotectonic structure, however, is characterized by the presence of active faults [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41], which have the potential to produce earthquakes with magnitudes equal to or greater than M w = 6.0 [42][43][44] with significant impact on elements of the natural and built environment.…”

“…Typical examples of such onshore active faults in the continental part of the Attica region have been mapped in the framework of multiparametric surveys [34,39,43,45,46]. In the insular part of the Attica region, onshore active structures are located on the islands of Salamina [35,36] and Aegina, located in the Saronic Gulf, and on Kythira and Antikythira Islands in the south [40,41,45].…”

“…They have greatly controlled the formation and evolution of secondary tectonic landforms, such as the drainage networks showing steep bends under the influence of active faults, selective flow paths under the synergy of active tectonics and lithology, asymmetries in development with respect to the main branch due to tilting of fault blocks, and intense incision along branches developing transversely to active faults due to tectonic uplift. As has been deduced from studies on the type and distribution of earthquake environmental effects and building damage, marginal fault zones have controlled the distribution of these phenomena [9,32,39,46].…”

A Logic-Tree Approach for Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment in the Administrative Region of Attica (Greece)

et al. 2023

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment (PSHA) was carried out for the administrative region of Attica (Greece). Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) and Peak Ground Velocity (PGV) values were calculated for return periods of 475 and 950 years for five sub-areas covering the entire region. PGA hazard curves and Uniform Hazard Spectra (UHS) in terms of spectral acceleration (Sa) values were generated for Athens, Methana, and the capitals of each island of Attica (Salamina, Aegina, Poros, Hydra, Spetses, Kythira, and Antikythira). Area sources were adopted from the Euro-Mediterranean Seismic Hazard Model 2013 (ESHM13) and its update, ESHM20, taking into account both crustal and slab tectonic environments. Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs) proposed for the Greek territory were ranked for PGA and PGV. Each GMPE was reconstructed as a weighted model, accounting for normal and non-normal focal mechanisms for each area source. PGA, PGV, and Sa values were computed using a logic tree, integrating the seismotectonic models as major branches and sub-logic trees, comprised of multiple ranked GMPEs for each area source, as minor branches. The results showed higher seismic hazard values in sub-areas near the Gulf of Corinth and the slab interface, which could indicate a need to revise the active building code in Attica.
