Structure, tectonic processes and deformation of the South Aegean Sea
Abstract
The PhD thesis explores the long-term deformation and active tectonic mechanisms that contributed to the geological evolution and the formation of the complex relief of the South Aegean Sea. Despite the geological surveys that have been conducted on the Aegean, the current state of knowledge is still in its infancy. Although it is widely accepted that the geotectonic evolution of the Aegean microplate is dominated by extension in a back-arc setting, recent geological, seismological and geodetic studies have shown that overall extension may evolve in combination with transpression or transtention. This dissertation summarizes the preexisting literature and the main deformation models that have been proposed for the Aegean and through the presentation of new bathymetric and seismic data aims to improve our understanding of the tectonic processes and deformation prevailing on the South Aegean Sea. In order to develop a geodynamic model that will explain the kinematic processes and deform ...
