Upper-plate normal faults along forearcs often accumulate slip during > Mw 6 earthquakes. Such normal faults traverse the forearc of the Hellenic Subduction System (HSS) in Greece and are the focus of this study. Here, we use detailed field-mapping and analysis of high-resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) to study 42 active normal faults on the islands of Kythira and Antikythira in the Aegean Sea. Onshore fault kinematic data are complemented by seabed bathymetry mapping of ten offshore faults that extend along the Kythira-Antikythira Strait (KAS). We find that normal faults in the KA...

>> again, to you, i asked this earlier. what is -- is there any difference between what we're watching now and what we would have watched 30 years ago in terms of the climate? the climate aspect? is there a climatic -- without getting, again, into the politics, is there a warming situation we're facing that makes it more likely to have tornadoes or any way it's influencing these weather conditions? the climate? the heat? >> well, as far as tornadoes are concerned, climate really doesn't pay any attention to tornadoes. i mean, tornadoes are such a small-scale event. now, as far as tornado distr...
