On 3 March 2021, the Mw6.3 Tyrnavos earthquake shook much of Thessalia region, leading to extensive damage in many small towns and villages activated area. The first main shock was followed next day, on 4th by an “equivalent” with Mw6.0 adjacent fault segment. These are largest earthquakes strike northeastern part since M6.3, 1941 Larissa earthquake. shocks triggered liquefaction mainly along banks Titarisios tributary where alluvial flood deposits most probably amplified ground motions. Our...

SUMMARY The Northern Thessaly Basin in central Greece ranks amongst the most well pronounced extensional (graben) basins backarc Aegean Sea region, with well-mapped faults having an ∼E–W orientation, compatible ongoing predominant ∼N–S extension. southern margin of basin is bounded by major associated strong (M6 to M7) earthquakes, whereas along its northern margin, events are more scarce, documented catalogues. Along this a weak, albeit persisting foreshock activity, culminated within 3 d,...

In this study, we show how the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-derived vertical velocities contribute to correction of tide gauge (TG) measurements used for sea level rise estimation in Greece. Twelve sites with records local heights are processed order estimate their trend. Certain error sources related TGs, e.g. equipment changes, data noise, may lead biased or erroneous estimations height. Therefore, it would be preferred follow a robust technique detect and reduce outlier...
