TL;DR: Avallone et al. as discussed by the authors used GPS data collected in the Corinth Rift during eleven campaigns between 1990 and 2001 to provide velocities of 57 points with accuracy, and showed that both sides of the rift behave as clockwise rotating blocks with rates of and, respectively.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the most recent observations of crustal motion across the entire West Hellenic Arc (WHA) based on repeated GPS measurements carried out in the period from 1993 to 1998.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present geodetic data that give estimates of the rate of extension of the Gulf of Korinthos during this century and which suggest that less than half of the elastic strain in the central and western Gulf of Korainthos has been released by earthquakes during the last century.

Abstract: In our paper [Clarke et al., 1997], we sought a simple model to explain horizontal geodetic displacements obtained using a combination of triangulation and GPS observations, which show a high degree of coherence throughout the network. We inverted the displacements and obtained a single-dislocation model that is consistent with much of the tectonic and seismological information reported elsewhere [Pavlides et al., 1995; Hatzfeld et al., 1995; Meyer et al., 1996; Hatzfeld et al., 1997]. Meyer et al. [1997] criticise our paper on two main grounds: (1) that we have inconsistently used tec40.2' tonic data to arrive at our conclusions, and (2) that our conclusion is incorrect because it disagrees with some of the tectonic and SAR observations.
