The southwestern segment of the Hellenic subduction zone has generated a M>8 tsunamigenic earthquake in the past (365 AD), the largest event ever reported in Europe, but fundamental questions remain about the deep geometry and characteristics of the interplate fault and connected splay faults in the overriding plate that might be rooted in the...

The Hellenic subduction system exhibits a fairly atypical structure, resulting from the intense radial extension undergone by the Aegean domain from Eocene to Miocene. It features a very wide fore-arc, that itself includes an external non-volcanic arc between southeastern Peloponnesus and southwestern Anatolia, with Crete occupying a frontal...

Understanding the physical parameters and processes that control the seismogenic behavior of subduction zones megathrust faults remains one of the outstanding challenges in Earth Sciences. Here we present important results from several large seismic experiments aimed at addressing this question. These experiments focused on the three subduction...
