Displacement accumulation and sampling of paleoearthquakes on active normal faults of Crete in the eastern Mediterranean

The Table S1 (uploaded separately) presents fault data and calculated values of earthquake parameters that underpin the interpretations and conclusions presented in Nicol et al. (G3, submitted June 20, 2020). The Locations of each fault are shown in Figure 2 of the main manuscript.

In detail: The Table S1 summarises the attributes on all active faults studied on Crete. Single Event Displacement (SED), Recurrence Interval (RI), Moment Magnitude (Mw) and number of paeoearthquakes have been estimated for each fault using topographic fault lengths and Quaternary displacement rates in conjunction with the Wesnousky (2008) equations (see table footnote for equations used to calculate SED and Mw). Mw calculated using Wesnously (2008) equations are unconstrained at lengths < 15.5 km. Note that the short-term (e.g. the post-glacial period) displacement rates for the Lentas (ID=43) and South Central Crete (ID=44) faults derive from time periods of c. 50 kyr and 125 kyr, respectively (from Gallen et al., 2014). Nevertheless, the estimated number of events on these two faults correspond to the post-glacial period (16.5 kyr). Table S1 presents uncertainties of +40% and -20% for maximum displacements derived from topography. Here we are conservative and have allowed larger errors for the maximum fault displacements to account for greater errors associated with erosion. The calculated earthquake recurrence interval (RI) in Table S1 derives from SED/Quaternary displacement rate.
