Probabilistic constraints on lithospheric forces, fault tractions, and rheology in the eastern Mediterranean region

Abstract: <p>The Aegean Sea region sits in a complex deformation zone between the African, Eurasian, and Anatolian plates. It contains the Hellenic subduction zone, where African oceanic lithosphere descends under the Aegean Sea. The subducting slab may be torn or fragmented at both its eastern (Pliny-Strabo zone) and western (Kefalonia fault) edges. The overriding Aegean Sea is cut by numerous active normal faults accommodating north-south extension. On top of this, the collision of Arabia with Anatolia f… Show more
