On November 17, 2015 a strong, shallow earthquake, Mw 6.5, occurred on the island of Lefkada along a strike-slip fault with right-lateral sense of slip. The event triggered widespread environmental effects that were mainly reported at the south and western part of the island while moving towards the eastern part, the intensity and severity of these earthquake-induced deformations were decreased. Relocation of seismicity and inversion of geodetic data suggests that the seismic fault runs parallel to the west coast of Lefkada, along the Aegean - Apulia plate boundary. The earthquake measured Mw=6.5 using the PGD relation of Melgar et al (2015, GRL). The fault plane strikes N20±5°E and dips to east with an angle of about 70±5 degrees. Coseismic deformation was measured in the order of tens of centimeters of horizontal motion by continuous GPS stations of NOANET (the NOA GPS network) and by InSAR (Sentinel 1A image pairs). Released interferograms from various groups show a large decorrelation area that extends almost along all the western coast of Lefkada, observation which provides strong support of landsliding. A coseismic slip model was produced from inversion of the ascending InSAR. We have not observed significant vertical motion of the shoreline and this is consistent with the predictions of the model.
