  abstract = {{T}he {G}ulf of {C}orinth is a natural laboratory for the study of seismicity and crustal deformation during continental extension. {S}eismic profiling along its axis provides a 24-fold normal-incidence seismic reflection profile and wide-angle reflection-refraction profiles recorded by sea-bottom seismometers ({OBS}) and land seismometers. {A}t wide-angle incidence, the land receivers document the {M}oho at 40-km depth under the western end of the {G}ulf north of {A}igion, rising to 32-km depth under the northern coast in the east of the {G}ulf. {B}oth refraction and normal-incidence reflection sections image the basement under the deep marine basin that has formed by recent extension. {T}he depth to the base of the sedimentary basin beneath the {G}ulf, constrained by both methods, is no more than 2.7 km, with similar to1 km of water underlain by no more than similar to1.7 km of sediment, less than what was expected from past modeling of uplift of the south coast in the {E}ast of the {G}ulf. {U}nlike the flat sea-bottom, the basement and sedimentary interfaces show topography along this axial line. {S}everal deeps are identified as depocenters, which suggest that this axial line is not a strike line to the basin. {I}t appears instead to be controlled by several faults, oblique to the {SWE} overall trend of the south coast of the {G}ulf, their more easterly strikes being consistent with the instantaneous direction of extension measured by earthquake slip vectors and by {GPS}.
