The Corinth Rift is the most seismically active zone in Europe. The area is characterized by very localized NSextension at a rate of1.5cm/year, the occurrence of frequent and intensive microseismic crises and occasionalmoderate to large earthquakes like in 1995 (Mw=6.1).Since the year 2000, the Corinth Rift Laboratory (CRL, http://crlab.eu)...

A new formulation for solving the Eikonal equation is investigated using a time-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi equation. A discontinuous Galerkin (DG) finite element method is proposed for direct reconstruction of the traveltime field as the final stationary solution. Both isotropic and tilted transversely isotropic (TTI) implementations are...

Under the pressure of climate change and the transition to low-carbon energy, geothermal energy is experiencing an unprecedented worldwide craze. Investors are mobilizing, oil companies are interested in it and many companies are being created to propose solutions likely to facilitate or improve its exploitation. However, the risks associated...

Moderate-to-large earthquakes in rifts may occur on leading boundary faults or inner antithetic faults. Here we show a rare case of the 2020–2021 seismic sequence in the Corinth rift, that culminated in the shallow rupture of the antithetic fault, neither preceded nor followed by the leading fault rupture. The hypocenter of the largest shock...
