GEOLOGY - TECTONICS
• Μain geological formations are flysch and limestone; parts of Pindos and Gavrovo isopic zones
• The main tectonic feature is the ~NS trending Scolis thrustKoukouvelas et al., 2009, IGR
![Page 6: The Mw 6.3 Movri Mountain earthquake, June 8, 2008, Greece](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062722/56813a21550346895da1fe0b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
•Epicenter located between villages Dafni and Michoi
•The activated zone clearly proves the SW-NE fault plane
•Similar results obtained by Ganas, et.al 2009, JEE.
•No clear relation of fault plane to mapped surface faults (blind event, depth ~20 km)
(Red lines are co-seismic ruptures, Koukouvelas et al., 2009, IGR)

• ISOLA code modified to prevent a highly concentrated slip (Zahradnik et al., JGR, in press)
• a new technique (Gallovic et al., GRL 36, L21310, 2009), iterative back-propagation of the waveform residuals by the conjugate gradients technique
The two methods do not need
prior knowledge of the nucleation point and rupture velocity.
SLIP INVERSION: TWO METHODS

Caution: Time versus Distance(a 1D model, not 2D)

TWO METHODS – SIMILAR RESULTS
Predominant unilateral rupture propagation
along strike (toward NE)
Two-three main patches, mutually delayed by almost
5 seconds
Delay of the first patch with respect to origin time
(inversion assuming Vr=const from H would fail !) Possible temporary rupture arrest.

LINE SOURCE MODEL AND ITS RELATION TO AFTERSHOCKS
Recallthe two aftershock clusters.

LINE SOURCE MODEL AND ITS RELATION TO AFTERSHOCKS
Recallthe two aftershock clusters.
Main slip released betweenthe two clusters.

CONCLUSIONS
Accurate relocation, combined with the near-regional, low-frequencyslip inversion explained rough history of the mainshock and the sequence.
![Page 22: The Mw 6.3 Movri Mountain earthquake, June 8, 2008, Greece](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062722/56813a21550346895da1fe0b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Accurate relocation, combined with the near-regional, low-frequencyslip inversion explained rough history of the mainshock and the sequence.
Relatively large depth (~20 km) hampered resolution of the slip along fault dip(other authors published the 2D slip, e.g. . Konstantinou et al., BSSA 2009).
Line-source model (along strike) proved sufficient to recognize main featuresof the rupture propagation.

The earthquake led to development of two inversion methods, independent of the prior knowledge of the nucleation point and rupture velocity.
The source model indicated a few patches with mutual delays; they might have important implication for strong ground motions (a special study needed).
