abstract: Possible systematic variations in earthquake occurrence and fluctuations in
seismicity behaviour of two seismically active regions in Greece which share
common seismotectonic properties, is the aim of this study. Mygdonia graben in
northern Greeceis characterized by a rather moderate background seismicity, with
small earthquakes between 2008-2012 whereas Corinth Gulf in southern Greece
exhibits a constantly high seismicity rate with several seismic activations during the
recent instrumental period or before. The statistical approach of seismicity was
accomplished, regarding the magnitude, the inter-event time and distance for recent
seismicity as a tool to quantify complex earthquake occurrence or dense spatial and
temporal clustering. For this reason, complete catalogues were compiled for the
time period of the study. Probabilistic tests such as the smoothed bootstrap test for
modality and bump–hunt were employed in order to unveil the complexity of the
probability density function distribution of the above parameters. On the other hand
spatial earthquake distribution was also investigated under the frame of their fractal
properties since the fractal coefficient can largely express the clustering degree of
seismicity. The goal of this stochastic analysisis the quantification of the
differentiation in seismicity properties in these two important seismogenic normal
fault populations in the back arc Aegean area.
