摘要

Shallow seismic surveys can constitute a useful tool in actively deforming regions by yielding precise information on the location of active faults, their geometry and cumulative displacement. Since the structures in these regions are rarely flat but always with sharp dips, 3D effects and side reflections can influence the results, thus the interpretation must be combined with geomorphological and geological data.

The application of shallow seismic techniques in the hanging wall area of the Atalanti normal fault, central Greece, provided new data on hanging wall deformation, the amount of crustal extension and the long-term slip distribution along the fault.
