Environmental Earth Sciences
Geophysics and Tectonics
Major features of the Earth's surface reflect deeper-acting physical processes. Active deformation by faulting and volcanism and buried structures are detected by a variety of earthquake seismology, microgravity, shallow seismic, radar and electrical techniques.
Current Research Areas
- Volcano Geophysics
- Tectonics of the Gulf of Corinth, Greece
- Shallow level geophysical investigations of archaeological sites
- Seismotectonics and crustal deformation in central Greece
- Earthquake risk and hazard in Turkey
- Rock and magma physics at medium and high pressures
Our research in geophysics and tectonics is strongly associated with the parallel fields of natural hazards and sedimentology and we have collaborative links within many other groupings within Environmental Sciences.
