The Gulf of Corinth rift margin offers world class exposures in the scene of an active rift. This field trip demonstrates the
complexity of rifted margins with respect to timing of fault movements, unconformities and resulting geometries of
tectonic and depositional elements. Emphasis will be put on analogies on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
Modified from Moretti et al. (2003)
Map: The map shows the geological outline of the Gulf of Corinth, situated on the northern Peloponnese coast. The east-west
trending active rift system has been active since Miocene, and syn-rift deposits rest unconformably on top of basement rocks of
Cretaceous and older age. Red lineaments show active faults.
Top: Rotated fault block. Mapping of large to medium scale faults and internal sedimentological layering trigger field discussions like fault block geometries, uncertainties in seismic interpretation and compartmentalisation.
Botto,: Small-scale faults segmenting fluvial channels. Relevant topics like sediment transport direction, fault seal
analyses and implementation of heterogeneities in 3D models are discussed.
Excursion Guide: Einar Sverdrup, Advanced Geologist (Aker BP ASA).
Field Assistant, Anders G. Finstad, Explorationist (Concedo AS).
Duration: The Gulf of Corinth field trip is scheduled to start and end in Athens (Monday 5th to Friday 9th May 2025),
with 3 full days (Tuesday-Thursday) in the field.
Cost: Estimated to NOK 10.250, which includes hotels, rental cars and common meals. Travel costs (to/from Athens) is not included. Recommendation for booking of plane-tickets will be given as soon as the trip is confirmed.
Number of participants 8-15. Some adjustments of the price can occur based on the final number of participants (+/- 10%).
Other: Minimum number of participants 8, maximum 15. Detailed information about the field schedule, as well as
excursion field guide will be provided in due time before the trip.
