Slab top dips resolved by teleseismic converted waves in the Hellenic subduction zone

Ups and downs in western Crete (Hellenic subduction zone)

Studies of past sea-level markers are commonly used to unveil the tectonic history and seismic behavior of subduction zones. We present new evidence on vertical motions of the Hellenic subduction zone as resulting from a suite of Late Pleistocene - Holocene shorelines in western Crete (Greece). Shoreline ages obtained by AMS radiocarbon dating of seashells, together with the reappraisal of shor...

Teleseismic Time Functions for Large, Shallow Subduction Zone Earthquakes

Broadband vertical P-wave records are analyzed from 63 of the largest shallow subduction zone earthquakes which have occurred in the circum-Pacific in the last 45 yr. Most of the records studied come from a common instrument, the Pasadena, California, Benioff 1-90 seismometer. Propagation and instrument effects are deconvolved from the P-wave records using a damped least-squares inversion to ob...

Numerical Modeling of Tsunami Waves Associated With Worst Earthquake Scenarios of the Makran Subduction Zone in the Jask Port, Iran

The recent studies show that the past researches may have significantly underestimated earthquake and tsunami hazard in the Makran Subduction Zone (MSZ) and this region is potentially capable of producing major earthquakes. In this study, the worst case possible earthquake scenarios of the MSZ are simulated using fully nonlinear boussinesq model to investigate tsunami hazards on the Jask Port, ...

Inversion of gravity data with application to density modeling of the Hellenic subduction zone

Acknowledgments I would like to thank Prof Dr Uwe Casten for his support, understanding, patience and for his effort put in corrections of this thesis. I especially thank my family and parents. Without them nothing would be possible. I thank all my friends for helping me, supporting me and distracting me, when I was working on my thesis.
