Multi-proxy palaeoenvironmental record of coastal tectonic uplift and abandonment (ca. 6th c. CE) of Lechaion's inner harbour, ancient Corinth, Greece
2021, Quaternary Science ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Earthquakes with magnitudes up to 7.0 (ML) have been recorded, with return periods of 20–80 years for surface wave magnitudes (Ms) 6.0 and 6.5 respectively (Papadopoulos and Kijko, 1991; Papadopoulos, 2003). Uplift of the rift margins is recorded by preserved marine terraces and wave-cut notches in beachrock (Stiros, 1995; Stiros et al., 1996). Modern Corinth and ancient Corinth are located on uplifted marine terraces (Stiros et al., 1996; Charalampakis et al., 2014), composed of Plio-Pleistocene marls, limestone, and conglomerates, which are overlain by Pleistocene clastic sediments (Keraudren and Sorel, 1987).
Impact of hydrothermal alteration processes on element mobility and potential environmental implications at the Sousaki solfataric field (Corinthia - Greece)
2020, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal ResearchFormation, evolution and demise of a tectonically controlled volcanic lake: A case study from the lower Pleistocene Sousaki succession
2019, GeobiosCitation Excerpt :These sediments are overlain by Holocene deposits (Gaitanakis et al., 1985; Galanopoulos et al., 1998). Since the Pliocene, the wider area has undergone fault-controlled lithospheric extension by E-W and SE-NW directed faults (Schroeder, 1976; Collier and Dart, 1991; Stiros, 1995; Pe-Piper and Hatzipanagiotou, 1997; Galanopoulos et al., 1998; Tsatsanifos et al., 2007). The studied sedimentary section (Figs. 2, 3) was deposited on the autobrecciated dacitic to rhyolithic lava flows of the younger volcanics (Fig. 4).
Estimation of the geogenic carbon degassing of Greece
2019, Applied GeochemistryCitation Excerpt :Geothermal waters are of NaCl type, displaying temperatures that range from 50 to 80 °C and salinities of 39–49 g/l (Fytikas et al., 1995). The whole region is characterized by intense seismic activity and it is hypothesized that the geothermal degassing at Sousaki is controlled by active tectonic structures (Stiros, 1995). The gas manifestations in Sousaki area display a typical geothermal gas composition with CO2 being the main gas compound and both CH4 and H2S are present as minor components.
Chromium-bearing clays in altered ophiolitic rocks from Crommyonia (Soussaki) volcanic area, Attica, Greece
2018, Applied Clay ScienceCitation Excerpt :The volcanic system of Soussaki is a recent volcano with the post-volcanic activity manifestations restricted now to argillization processes, hydrothermal alteration-mineralization, acid leaching, fumaroles and thermal waters (Panichi et al., 2000; Dotsika et al., 2009). Drilling exploration has assessed the presence of a low enthalpy geothermal field and revealed three main permeable formations; two shallow ones in the Neogene (60-80 °C) and in the ophiolite thrust (60-67 °C), and a deeper one in the limestones and dolomitised limestones (59-63 °C) (Fytikas and Kavouridis, 1985; Fytikas et al., 1995; Stiros, 1995). Moreover, the fluids localized in ophiolites are considered to come from the underlying limestones; in these limestones the main thermal anomaly is found and they are considered to be the geothermal reservoir of the region.
