AFG - Active Faults Greece: a comprehensive geomorphology-based 1:25,000 fault database

Greece is Europe's most seismically active country, as it is being deformed by an active subduction-system and one of the world's fastest-spreading continental rifts. Onshore active faults pose seismic-hazard that cannot be reliably assessed in the absence of a comprehensive map of potential earthquake sources. Here, we use high-resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), in conjunction with hillshades and slope-models, to map and characterise faults in Greece at a scale of 1:25000. The Active...
