Recent Earthquake Sequences in the East and South Aegean Sea and relation to active faulting: Integrated Views (co-organized)
Convener: Athanassios Ganas  | Co-Conveners: Marco Anzidei , Anastasia Kiratzi , Vasso Saltogianni , Tuncay Taymaz 

The Aegean Sea is a natural laboratory for studying active tectonics and earthquakes. We ask for contributions related to recent shallow earthquake sequences onshore Biga peninsula (Ayvacik, Turkey; February 2017; mainshock M5.2) offshore Lesvos (June 2017, Aegean Sea, Greece; M6.3) and Bodrum – Kos (July 2017; M6.6). These three earthquakes were well recorded by modern seismic and GNSS networks and their surface deformation was imaged by satellite radar missions. Foreseen contributions may include (but are not limited) analyses of seismological data to identify the seismic faults and to refine their geometry and kinematics using inversion techniques, analysis of rupture patterns and source properties of the mainshocks, statistical properties of the aftershock sequences, processing of geodetic data (GNSS, InSAR) to locate the offshore faults and subsequently used in combined inversion studies, seismic campaigns exploring sea-bottom geomorphology and offshore shallow faulting, local tsunami studies, soil-structure interaction studies, retrieve coseismic vertical land movements from coastal observations etc. We aim for a multi-disciplinary session that will attract workers in all aspects of the seismology and geophysics of the Aegean area. We also solicit posters from a very broad base such as tectonophysics, geodynamics and marine geology, and especially encourage interdisciplinary contributions.
