The Kozani-Grevena (Greece) Earthquake of May 13, 1995, Ms = 6.6. Preliminary Results of a Field Multidisciplinary Survey

Foreshock characteristics in Taiwan: Potential earthquake warning

“…For the purpose of the precursor application and earthquake source study, in the past two decades, foreshock characteristics have been studied in the different places such as California (Jones, 1984), the western United States (Abercrombie and Mori, 1996), Japan (Shibazaki and Matsu'ura, 1995;Ogata et al, 1996;Maeda, 1996), Italy (Console and Murru, 1996) and Greece (Bernard et al, 1997). Although there are still some debates about application of foreshocks as an earthquake precursor (Geller, 1997;Felzer et al, 2004), some of felt foreshocks really provided some valuable information for immediate warning and significantly reduced the casualties, such as the 1975 Haicheng (China) earthquake (Raleigh, 1977) and the 1995 Lozani-Grevena (Greece) earthquake (Hatzfeld et al, 1995;Bernard et al, 1997). Unfortunately, most of deadly earthquakes so far took place without any foreshock.…”

Integrating high‐precision aftershock locations and geodetic observations to model coseismic deformation associated with the 1995 Kozani‐Grevena earthquake, Greece

“…The Harvard CMT solution for the event (Table 1) had a seismic moment of 7.64 × 10 18 N m, a primary nodal plane striking 243° and dipping 47° to the northwest, with a slip rake of −97° on this surface [ Dziewonski et al , 1996]. In addition to a relatively sparse regional seismic network, a dense local array of seismometers (Figure 2) was deployed for 7 days to record aftershocks for determining their distribution and focal mechanisms [ Hatzfeld et al , 1997, 1995]. Coseismic deformation of the ground surface was observed by GPS reoccupation of Hellenic Military Geographic Survey (HMGS) pillars [ Clarke et al , 1997] and by interferometric analysis of ERS‐1 synthetic aperture radar data (InSAR) [ Meyer et al , 1996].…”

A Source Parameters Study of the Aftershock Sequence of the Kozani- Grevena 1995 Earthquake Based on Acceleration Records

“…In the location procedure the ap propriate station correction terms were used. These terms represent the contribution of the average crustal and upper mantle structure beneath the receiver and a local layered velocity model, which was estimated for the Kozani-Grevena area (Hatzfeld et al, 1995;Papazachos et al, 1998;Drakatos et al, 1998 ). The S-P times of the temporary accelographs network were also included in the phase list.…”

“…This area has not shown a high level of seismic activity in historical times since only one strong earthquake (896 A.D.), was reported in the historical catalogues Papazachou, 1997, 2002;Ambraseys, 1999). The earthquake sequence has been extensively studied at every scientific field (Hatzfeld et al, 1995(Hatzfeld et al, , 1997Papazachos Β. C. et al, 1998;Theodulidis et al, 1998;Papanastasiou étal., 1998;Kiratzi, 1999;Roumelioti étal., 2000Roumelioti étal., , 2002.…”
