“…After locating the earthquakes with HYPOINVERSE, we calculated a mean residual from all the available P phases and for each station. Then, we locate again the earthquakes taking into account the mean residual for each station and repeat the calculations until the changes in mean values in each station are negligible (Karakostas et al 2012(Karakostas et al , 2014. The selected data sets include almost all the stations used in this study, as they were gradually added to the network over the years.…”

Waveform inversion techniques were also applied in the study area in order to compute fault plane solutions for moderate to strong events in several cases (e.g.…”

“…On 2007 April 08, the Trichonida earthquake swarm initiated near the area where the 1975 M = 6.0 earthquake occurred (Evangelidis et al 2008;Kiratzi et al 2008;Kassaras et al 2014). On 2010 January 18, an earthquake doublet occurred near Efpalio beneath the north coasts of the westernmost part of Corinth Gulf with two M w = 5.5 events (Karakostas et al 2012;Sokos et al 2012;Ganas et al 2013). On 2013 May 22, an earthquake swarm that initiated near Aigio, with more than 1500 earthquakes detected in three months (Chouliaras et al 2015;Kapetanidis et al 2015;Mesimeri et al 2016;Kaviris et al 2017).…”

“…Our data set includes 4690 events, including 3 major events, a) the strong earthquake in Achaia (NW Peloponnese) in 2008 (M>6.0) and b) the doublet of M>5.0 events that occurred at Efpalio (W Corinth Gulf) in 2010. The epicenters of these are shown in Figure 1 (see Karakostas, 2009;Karakostas et al, 2012 andSokos et al, 2012 for more details on these sequences).…”

“…The velocity model, derived after exhaustively repeating the VELEST procedure until the changes to become negligible, is shown in Table 2. Station delays from VELEST were considered as the initial ones, and a procedure of Karakostas et al (2012Karakostas et al ( , 2014 was followed for securing robustness of their final values. The new velocity model and station delays resulted in a relocated catalog of 6417 events.…”

On 8 June 2008 an earthquake of M w 6.4 took place in the northwestern part of Peloponnese, Greece. The main shock was felt in a wide area and caused appreciable damage along the main rupture area and particularly at the antipodal of the main shock epicenter fault edge, implying strongly unilateral rupture and stopping phase effects. Abundant aftershocks were recorded within an area of *50 km in length in the period 8 June 2008-end of 2014, by a sufficient number of stations that secure location accuracy because the regional network is adequately dense in the area. All the available phases from seismological stations in epicentral distances up to 140 km until the end of 2014 were used for relocation with the double difference technique and waveform cross-correlation. A quite clear 3-D representation is obtained for the aftershock zone geometry and dimensions, revealing the main rupture and the activated adjacent fault segments. SAR data are processed using Stanford Method for Persistent Scatterers (StaMPS) and a surface deformation map constructed based on PS point displacement for the coseismic period. A variable slip model, with maximum slip of *1.0 m located at the lower part of the rupture plane, is suggested and used for calculating the deformation field which was found in adequate agreement with geodetic measurements. With the same slip model the static stress changes were calculated evidencing possible triggering of the neighboring faults that were brought closer to failure. The data availability allowed monitoring the temporal variation of b values that after a continuous increase in the first 5 days, returned and stabilized to 1.0-1.1 in the following years. The fluctuation duration is considered as the equivalent time for fault healing, which appeared very short but in full accordance with the cessation of onto-fault seismicity.
