Abstract

Elastic dislocation modelling of high accuracy repeated levelling data, constrained by seismological and structural data, permits a refinement of the seismic fault model of the 1986, Kalamata (SW Greece mainland), MS = 5.8 destructive earthquake. The authors' preferred solution is a blind normal fault, selected on the basis of minimum misfits between observed and predicted elevation changes. This fault pattern is broadly consistent with seismological and geologic evidence.
