Spatiotemporal characteristics and earthquake statistics of the 2020 and 2022 adjacent earthquake sequences in North Aegean Sea (Greece)

Seismica
The two moderate earthquakes that occurred close and to the north of the North Aegean Trough (NAT) on 26 September 2020 (Mw5.3) and 16 January 2022 (Mw5.4), both followed by aftershock activity, are examined.

Digitized Stratigraphic and Geophysical Logs From Deep Boreholes in the 2022 Mw 5.5 Fano‐Pesaro Earthquake Region, Adriatic Sea, Italy

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 3, July 2026.
Legacy borehole documentation from seven deep exploration wells in the Pesaro–Fano offshore area (Adriatic Sea) was digitized into an accessible dataset of stratigraphic and geophysical data. The dataset is openly available in the Zenodo repository and supports future geological and geophysical studies in the Adriatic region and beyond.

Smart Speed Imaging in Digital Image Correlation: Application to Seismotectonic Scale Modeling

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019
Analog models of earthquakes and seismic cycles are characterized by strong variations in strain rate: from slow interseismic loading to fast coseismic release of elastic energy.

A Transient Coastal Uplift Event Revealed by Pleistocene Marine Terraces Along the 2015 M8.3 Illapel Earthquake Rupture, Chile

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Uplifted Pleistocene marine terraces in the Illapel area along the forearc of central Chile record spatially and temporally variable uplift rates on glacial‐cycle timescales. However, the underlying mechanisms for this uplift variability and its potential relationship with the megathrust‐earthquake cycle remain poorly understood.

The Al Hoceima earthquake of May 26, 1994 and its aftershocks: a seismotectonic study

Annals of Geophysics, 1998
The present paper focuses on the moderate earthquake that occurred on May, 26, 1994, at 8 h 27 min, which caused great damage and two deaths. The epicentre of the main shock was located at 35.280N, 3.990W. The focal depth was 13 km, and the magnitude (Md)

Estimating Off‐Fault Deformation Using Convolutional Neural Networks Trained on Experimental Strike‐Slip Faults

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Scaled physical experiments using crustal analog materials can simulate off‐fault deformation near strike‐slip faults and provide direct observations of deformation partitioning during strike‐slip fault evolution. Using experimental fault maps and off‐fault deformation labels, we trained and tested four 2D Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs ...

Inference of a seismic gap from geological data: Thessaly ( Central Greece) as a case study

Annals of Geophysics, 1995
As a result of neotectonic, morphotectonic and seismotectonic research it is now possible to draw detailed maps of the major active faults affecting Thessaly, a large region of continental Greece.

The Role of Crustal Rheology and Mantle Fluids on the Interseismic Behavior of the Main Marmara Fault

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Faults can release tectonic loading either in the form of seismic events or via aseismic creep. The Main Marmara Fault (MMF) in the Sea of Marmara exhibits both locked and creeping behavior and poses a significant hazard to the megacity of Istanbul.

Block Kinematics, Interseismic Coupling and Fault Slip Rates in the Aegean Region From GPS and Earthquake Slip Vector Data: 1. Upper Plate Structures

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract We represent the active deformation of the Aegean region with an elastic‐kinematic block model composed of a finite number of rotating crustal blocks whose boundaries coincide with major active structures. A total of 832 GPS velocities and 146 earthquake slip vectors were inverted to provide estimates of block rotations and interseismic ...

Tectonics of source zones of strong earthquakes in the southeastern part of the Greater Caucasus

Геология и геофизика Юга России, 2023
The features of the distribution of earthquake sources in the territory of Azerbaijan have been studied. It has been identified that the sources of strong earthquakes are confined to zones of concentration of weak seismic shocks, which are inherent in ...
