The January 2010 Efpalio earthquake sequence in the western Corinth Gulf (Greece)
Original language description
The January 2010 Efpalio earthquake sequence provides some key elements to enhance our view on the western Corinth Gulf tectonics. The sequence lasted almost six months, and included two Mw > 5 strong events, both exhibiting normal faulting along similarto E-W trending planes. This paper attempts to construct a unified seismotectonic model of the sequence jointly interpreting earthquake locations, moment-tensors and slip inversions in terms of the possible activated fault planes. Previous studies haveconnected the prevailing microseismic activity to a major low-angle, north-dipping structure under the Corinth Gulf and the Efpalio sequence favors such a general trend. Moreover, it clearly shows the significance of the shallow activity, so far less recognized, and possibly connected to the relatively steep faults outcropping on the northern coast. The first 18 January 2010 Mw>5 event had almost no on-fault aftershocks and most likely it occurred on a 550 south-dipping nodal plane. The
