Tsunamigenic sources in an active European half-graben (Gulf of Corinth, Central Greece)

A maximum probable 6.7 (Mw) offshore earthquake would produce a rupture on the seafloor surface with a maximum displacement of 0.66 to 1.08 m in height in the Gulf of Corinth. The tsunami which would be generated by the seafloor displacement would have a wave height of the same magnitude as the seafloor displacement. Furthermore, existing evidence of submarine mass failures that took place over the last 3000 years in the eastern part of the Corinth Gulf had and would have the potential of generating tsunamis with a maximum wave height of 1.04 and 4.04 m and maximum wave length of 4.52 and 6.25 km.
