Chapter 1Introduction

Shaw, Beth

Pages: 1 –5

[The Hellenic subduction zone plays a key role in the active tectonics of the Mediterranean, yet its tsunamigenic potential and details of its kinematics remain poorly understood. The subduction zone appears to be largely uncoupled, having accommodated just 10% of the Nubia-Aegean convergence in...

Chapter 2The AD 365 Earthquake: Large Tsunamigenic Earthquakes in the Hellenic Trench

Shaw, Beth

Pages: 7 –28

[Historical accounts describe an earthquake and tsunami on 21 July AD 365 that destroyed cities and drowned thousands of people in coastal regions from the Nile delta to modern-day Dubrovnik. The location and tectonic setting of this earthquake have been uncertain until now. In this chapter, I...

Chapter 3Earthquakes in the Eastern Mediterranean

Shaw, Beth

Pages: 29 –66

[In this chapter, improved focal mechanisms and centroid depth estimates of earthquakes, combined with GPS velocities, are used to examine the tectonics of the Hellenic subduction zone and in particular the processes occurring at both ends of the Hellenic Arc. Nubia-Aegean convergence is...

Chapter 4Radiometric Dating of Uplifted Marine Fauna in Crete and Central Greece

Shaw, Beth

Pages: 67 –88

[The study described in this chapter arose from the radiocarbon dating of uplifted marine fauna mentioned briefly in Chap. 2. In an attempt to confirm that the elevation of the uplifted shoreline in western Crete really represents deformation in a single earthquake, I obtained radiocarbon dates...

Chapter 5Geomorphology

Shaw, Beth

Pages: 89 –111

[The bulk of this thesis focuses on the tectonics of the Hellenic subduction zone, using the historical record, radiometric dating and seismology to investigate how present-day faulting accommodates the relative motion between Nubia and the Aegean. Additionally, a pilot study carried out to...

Chapter 6Conclusions

Shaw, Beth

Pages: 113 –115

[In spite of its relative quiescence in the instrumental record, the Hellenic subduction zone is capable of producing large magnitude earthquakes, and tsunamis that travel throughout the Mediterranean.]

Chapter 7Earthquake Tables

Shaw, Beth

Pages: 117 –126

[This appendix contains the focal parameters and locations of the earthquakes described and plotted in Chap. 3. They are separated into their tectonic setting, as in Chap. 3. The table references are listed at the end of this appendix.]

Chapter 8Waveform-Modelled Solutions

Shaw, Beth

Pages: 127 –150

[This appendix contains full solutions for the waveform-modelled earthquakes described in Chap. 3 and listed in the tables in Chap. 7. The title for each figure is the date, given as yymmdd, and the subtitle is strike/dip/rake/depth/\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath}...

Chapter 9Field Sites

Shaw, Beth

Pages: 151 –165

[In this, I describe some of the most important field sites that I have visited in Western Crete. The sites on the north and west coasts are easy to access from Chania using good roads. The ancient harbour at Phalasarna lies at the end of a dirt road through olive and citrus orchards, but is...

Chapter 10Kinematic GPS River Profiles from Crete

Shaw, Beth

Pages: 167 –169

[In addition to the kinematic GPS profile of the river described in Chap. 5, three more profiles were carried out, and the results of these surveys are described here. The locations of these three rivers are plotted in Fig. 5.7.]
