Monitoring of active faults in urban areas is of great importance, providing useful information to assess seismic hazards and risks. The present study concerns the monitoring of the potential ground deformation caused by the active tectonism in the cities of Patras and Pyrgos in Western Greece. A PS interferometric analysis technique was applied using a rich data–set of ERS–1 & 2 SLC images. Th...

SAR Interferometric (InSAR) techniques are widely applied for analyzing geophysical and tectonic deformations and for improving modeling techniques, with the benefits of surface deformation measurements covering areas from several to a hundred kilometers in size with a satisfactory accuracy (theoretically in the millimeter range). Nevertheless the accuracy and availability of deformation measur...

The orientation of faulting associated with volcano-tectonic earthquakes follows the stress field there, as tectonic earthquakes. Therefore, changes volcanic activity change fault orientations or focal mechanisms. Zhan et al. (2022; https://doi.org/10.1029/2022GL097958) observed temporal mechanisms unrest. They decomposed into ambient differential stress, volcano loading, and by dike intrusion;...

Based on the review of available stratigraphic, tectonic, morphological, geodetic, and seismological data, along with new structural observations, we present a reappraisal potential seismogenic faults fault systems in inner northwest Apennines, Italy, which was site, one century ago, devastating Mw ~6.5, 1920 Fivizzano earthquake. Our updated catalog provides locations, as well description thei...

Following the last glacial maximum (LGM), the demise of continental ice sheets induced crustal rebound in tectonically stable regions of North America and Scandinavia that is still ongoing. Unlike the ice sheets, the Alpine ice cap developed in an orogen where the measured uplift is potentially attributed to tectonic shortening, lithospheric delamination and unloading due to deglaciation and er...

The Campo de Dalias is an area with relevant seismicity associated to the active tectonic deformations of the southern boundary of the Betic Cordillera. A non-permanent GPS network was installed to monitor, for the first time, the fault- and fold-related activity. In addition, two high precision levelling profiles were measured twice over a one-year period across the Balanegra Fault, one of the...

9 10 This paper makes a review of the interpretations of the tectonic evolution of SW Japan 11 during the last three decades. In the late 1970s, the dominant model was the so-called 12 ―Pacific-type orogeny‖, emphasizing the purported absence of nappes and the contrast with 13 the alpine chains, and interpreting the evolution as due to a steady oceanic subduction since 14 the Paleozoic time. In...

The Quchan fault is located in Quchan - Shirvan area which is a part of Chenaran- Bojnourd plain in Kopeh-Dagh zone, NE Iran. The Quchan active fault with northwest – southeast trending is one of the most important strike-slip faults in the area which its activity led to the numerous historical and instrumental earthquakes. The Neo-tectonic activities of this fault are investigated by the drain...

Earth observation phenomena include monitoring of disasters originated from tectonic movements. Detecting land cover and climatic changes, the studies of atmosphere, biodiversity, oceans, ecosystems and land management processes are the other important application areas of earth science and environmental earth observation programs. Nowadays, remote sensing satellites are also vital important de...
