摘要

In the present work we propose a new seismic zonation model of area typesources for the broader Aegean area, which can be readily used for seismichazard assessment. The definition of this model is based not only onseismicity information but incorporates all available seismotectonic andneotectonic information for the study area, in an attempt to define zoneswhich show not only a rather homogeneous seismicity release but also exhibitsimilar active faulting characteristics. For this reason, all availableseismological information such as fault plane solutions and thecorresponding kinematic axes have been incorporated in the analysis, as wellas information about active tectonics, such as seismic and active faults.Moreover, various morphotectonic features (e.g. relief, coastline) were alsoconsidered. Finally, a revised seismic catalogue is employed and earthquakeepicentres since historical times (550?BC–2008) are employed, in order todefine areas of common seismotectonic characteristics, that could constitutea discrete seismic zone. A new revised model of 113 earthquake seismic zonesof shallow earthquakes for the broader Aegean area is finally proposed.Using the proposed zonation model, a detailed study is performed for thecatalogue completeness for the recent instrumental period.Using the defined completeness information, seismicity parameters (such as G–R values) for the 113 new seismic zones have been calculated, and their spatial distribution was also examined. The spatial variation of the obtained b values shows an excellent correlation with the geotectonic setting in the area, in good agreement with previous studies. Moreover, a quantitative estimation of seismicity is performed in terms of the mean return period, Tm, of large (M??≥??6.0) earthquakes, as well as the most frequent maximum magnitude, Mt, for a typical time period (T??=??50 yr), revealing significant spatial variations of seismicitylevels within the study area. The new proposed seismic zonation model and itsparameters can be readily employed for seismic hazard assessment for thebroader Aegean area.
