On June 9, 2003 (10:07 L.T), northern Thessaly (central Greece) was shaken by a moderate size earthquake (MS=5.5; NOA).

Abstract
On June 9, 2003 (10:07 L.T), northern Thessaly (central Greece) was shaken by a moderate size earthquake (MS=5.5; NOA). Dozens of buildings in the area of southern Mt Olympus were damaged and the shock was felt throughout Thessaly, central and western Macedonia, Thessaloniki and the Sporades islands. No victims were reported. The macroseismic intensity was assessed at 6/7EMS-98. The purpose of this paper is to present and combine the instrumental earthquake parameters to the results of a geological/tectonic and a macroseismic survey, carried out soon after the earthquake, in an effort for a better understanding of the recent tectonic process that takes place in this area.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
