“…Taking into account, the classifications of faults throughout the Greek territory and particularly those proposed by the Earthquake Planning and Protection Organisation (EPPO -OASP; source: www.oasp.gr), by Valkaniotis (2007, 2008), and Rondoyanni, Lykoudi, Triantafyllou, Papadimitriou, and Foteinos (2013), the tectonic structures of northwestern Greece were divided into three categories as follows:…”

In this paper, a neotectonic map with active faults, at a scale of 1:500,000, of the northwestern Greece is presented and discussed. The elaboration of the Neotectonic Map chiefly aimed at the identification, mapping and assessment of the faults in the region of Epirus, for the added purpose of assessing the area's seismic hazard. To this end, the related research was largely directed to the detailed study of the tectonic structures, which were classified as active, potentially active and non-active (or unknown age). It is noted that the activity of many old structures continues to this day, as shown by the Neotectonic analysis, in conjunction with the region's seismicity. The presence of extensive scree deposits on the hanging wall of many faults also indicates their re-activation. For the final compilation and presentation of the map, geological, geomorphological and seismological data were used and assessed. The objective of this map is to provide information about the neotectonic evolution of northwestern Greece.

The assessment of rockfall risks on human activities and infrastructure is of great importance. Rock falls pose a significant risk to (a) transportation infrastructure, (b) inhabited areas, and (c) Cultural Heritage sites. The paper presents a method to assess rockfall susceptibility at national scale in Greece, using a simple rating approach and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques. An extensive inventory of rockfalls for the entire country was compiled for the period between 1935 and 2019. The rockfall events that were recorded are those which have mainly occurred as distinct rockfall episodes in natural slopes and have impacted human activities, such as roads, inhabited areas, and archaeological sites. Through a detailed analysis of the recorded data, it was possible to define the factors which determine the occurrence of rockfalls. Based on this analysis, the susceptibility zoning against rockfalls at the national scale was prepared, using a simple rating approach and GIS techniques. The rockfall susceptibility zoning takes into account the following parameters: (a) the slope gradient, (b) the lithology, (c) the annual rainfall intensity, (d) the earthquake intensity, and (e) the active fault presence. Emphasis was given on the study of the earthquake effect as a triggering mechanism of rockfalls. Finally, the temporal and spatial frequency of the recorded events and the impact of rockfalls on infrastructure assets and human activities in Greece were evaluated.
