| Abstract | The active, opencast, lignite mines in the Ptolemais Basin, NW Greece, provide world-class outcrops for characterising and understanding normal fault systems from kmdown to mm-scale. We have visited and mapped these mines 26 times at ca. 3 month intervals since October 2009. The data collected during each fieldwork campaign were structural measurements, interpretations, various resolutions of photographs and GPS locations for all exposed faults and related structures observed in each mine. Part of this unique dataset has been imported within a fully georeferenced 3D structural interpretation package and has been used for fault and horizon interpretations. Our motivation for this work is to advance our generic understanding of the structure and development of normal faults, but in this contribution, we focus on some of our findings that might be of more general interest to mine planners and designers. |
