heal.abstract	GPS (Global Positioning System) data collected in the Corinth Rift during eleven campaigns between 1990 and 2001 provide velocities of 57 points with similar to1.5 mm yr(-1) accuracy. Peloponnesos moves at 30 mm yr(-1) to the N215degreesE with respect to a fixed Europe. Extension across the rift is accommodated in a narrow band offshore. Its rate increases from east to west and is 16 mm yr(-1) near Aigion. Both sides of the rift behave as clockwise rotating blocks with rates of 7 +/- 0.5degrees Myr(-1) and 2.8 +/- 0.8degrees Myr(-1), respectively for the northern and southern blocks. After removing block rotations, the northern block shows a north-south extension rate of 120 +/- 50 nstrain yr(-1), whereas I the southern block indicates the internal deformation is still inside the error bar (< 20 nstrain yr(-1)). The strain accumulation across the major faults located along the southern coast of the Corinth Gulf is less than 1 mm yr(-1). This implies long recurrence periods for large earthquakes on these faults. To cite this article: A. Avallone et al., C. R. Geoscience 336 (2004). (C) 2004 Academie des sciences.
