TerraceM

Deformed marine terraces help to constrain the mechanical behaviour of continental rift systems as well as the related seismic hazards. The unique record of onshore and offshore markers of Pleistocene ~100-ka climate cycles in the Corinth Rift (Greece), provides an outstanding possibility to constrain rift mechanics over a range of timescales. Here we use numerical models, high-resolution topography, and TerraceM to analyse the 3D geometry of a sequence of Pleistocene emerged marine terraces associated with flexural rift-flank uplift.
