The seismogenic structure of March 2021 Tyrnavos (central Greece) doublet (Mw 6.3 and Mw 6.0), constrained by aftershock locations and geodetic data

Eleftheria Papadimitiou et al.

Summary: The Northern Thessaly Basin in central Greece is a well-defined extensional basin in the Aegean Sea region, with faults oriented in an E-W direction. Recently, a series of earthquakes, including two main shocks and numerous aftershocks, occurred along the basin's northern margin. These events indicate a shift from the previously believed N-S extension to a NNE-SSW oriented extension. Using seismic and geodetic data, researchers studied the temporal and spatial evolution of the sequence, revealing the complexity of the seismic process and the activation of various fault segments.

Floodplain evolution and its influence on liquefaction clustering: The case study of March 2021 Thessaly, Greece, seismic sequence

George Papathanassiou et al.

Summary: This study investigates the secondary effects of liquefaction phenomena during the seismic sequence in March 2021 in Thessaly, Central Greece. By comparing the distribution of liquefaction phenomena with geomorphological conditions, the study highlights the influence of historical evolution on liquefaction, providing a method to reduce liquefaction hazard areas.

Seismotectonic analysis of the 2021 Damasi-Tyrnavos (Thessaly, Central Greece) earthquake sequence and implications on the stress field rotations

Ioannis Kassaras et al.

Summary: In early March 2021, three shallow earthquakes struck the Damasi-Tyrnavos region in northern Thessaly, Greece, with aftershocks forming a zone spanning approximately 50 km and focal depths ranging between 5 and 15 km. The focal mechanisms mainly exhibited normal faulting, with a change in stress field rotation post major seismic events suggesting involvement of large-scale tectonics and plate dynamics.

Geodetic Model of the March 2021 Thessaly Seismic Sequence Inferred from Seismological and InSAR Data

Vincenzo De Novellis et al.

Summary: This study proposes a geodetic model to explain the Thessaly seismic sequence in March 2021, successfully detecting surface deformation and constraining kinematics using InSAR techniques. The activation of unknown blind faults in the region is identified, and Coulomb stress transfer analysis and pore pressure modeling indicate a domino effect in the sequence development. The lack of historical earthquake records and surface features from past faulting complicates seismic hazard estimation in the area, highlighting the usefulness of InSAR data analysis and modeling in understanding rupture characteristics.

The March 2021 Damasi Earthquake Sequence, Central Greece: Reactivation Evidence across the Westward Propagating Tyrnavos Graben

Ioannis K. Koukouvelas et al.

Summary: The study provides fieldwork observations, satellite radar interferometry, mapping of active faults, liquefaction and coseismic surface ruptures, and preliminary geomorphological analyses of a seismic event in northern Thessaly, Greece. The results suggest that at least three fault segments were reactivated, potentially representing the westward propagation of the Tyrnavos Graben.

Cristiano Tolomei et al.

Summary: The study utilized the InSAR technique to analyze the surface deformation caused by a series of earthquakes near Tyrnavos village in Greece, successfully isolating the displacement effects of mainshocks and aftershocks. Separating the surface effects caused by mainshocks and major aftershocks in a short-term seismic sequence is uncommon but achieved in this research.
