Description:

A collaborative group between Greek, Polish, and Sl ovak colleagues installed a dense network of non-permanent GPS stations and extensometers to monitor active faults in the eastern part of the Gulf of Corinth, central Greece. The network includes eleven GPS stations across the Kaparelli fault and the Asopos rift valley to the east and two TM-71 extensometers that were installed on the Kaparelli fault plane. So far the G PS network has been measured in three campaigns within the last three years with very good accuracies (1-4 mm in the horizontal plane). Although it is early to draw conclusions on the velocity field and on strain patterns it can be noted that, the data from the extensometers demonstrate both fault-normal opening and shear motion. Given that the total offset on the Ka parelli fault is small, and the geological data suggesting a segmented character of this fault, we expect in the near fu ture to differentiate fault slip and strain accumulation among segments., Athanassios Ganas, Jaroslaw Bosy, Lubomir Petro, George Drakatos, Bernard Kontny, Marian Stercz, Nikolaos S.
