Description:
We use Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) to study the Cephalonia–Lefkada
Transform Fault Zone (CTF) in the Ionian Sea. The CTF separates continental subduction to the
north from oceanic subduction to the south, along the Hellenic Subduction Zone. We exploit a rich
multi-modal radar dataset of the most recent major earthquake in the region, the 17 November 2015
Mw 6.4 event, and present new surface displacement results that o er additional constraints on the
fault segmentation of the area. Based on this dataset, and by exploiting available information of
earthquake relocation, we propose a new rupture process for the 2015 sequence, complementary to
those published already. Our modelling includes an additional southern fault segment, oblique to the
segment related with the mainshock, which indicates that the CTF structure is more complex than
previously believed.
