Course Content

The main course objectives are the understanding of the deformation of the earth’s crust that has been taking place with the Current Tectonic Regime.

Methods of neotectonic research: Descriptive (geometrical), Dynamic, Kinematic and temporal analysis of neotectonic structures; Tectonic Geomorphology: presentation, analysis and description of morphotectonic relief-evolution indices; Active Tectonics, Earthquake Geology and Palaeoseismology: Neogene and Quaternary deformation rates- Active faulting and earthquake geology – trenching and dating of deformed quaternary strata; Neotectonics of Greece: Main neotectonic structures of the Hellenic territory – Neotectonic basins and marginal faults – Kinematic and deformational models of the Greek territory – Submarine/offshore neotectonic structures in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean; Case studies: The Gulf of Corinth Rift, the North Aegean Basin, the Peloponnese and Ionian Islands, the Neogene-Quaternary terrestrial basins of central and NW Greece.
