The subject of the AEGEAN research vessel will be the collection of additional geological, geophysical, geochemicals and oceanographic given
With a large research team and appropriate modern scientific equipment sails for the Santorini – Amorgos area the Oceanographic Vessel of the Hellenic Center for Marine Research (ELKETHE).
Object of the research vessel of the Aegean O/K will be the collection Additional Geological, Geophysical, Geochemical and Oceanographic Data with the aim of contributing to a more complete understanding of the seismic activity that is evolving in the area.
In this context, the NAVTEX was issued by the Heraklion Station of the Navy, which is valid from 16:00 today Wednesday to February 20th. The ship is expected to be in the maritime area on Thursday.
The AEGEAN OPHERS In the area between Santorini and Amorgos will include:
- Detailed sub -immersive and morphological imprint of the bottom with the aim of identifying phenomena or structures related to the activity of underwater cracks, the possible manifestation of underwater landslides and the assessment of the risk of submarine slopes in landslides.
- Recording high -resolution seismic incisions of the bottom substrate with the aim of detailed the upper part of the cracks that may have been active during the current earthquake stimulation as well as the potential landslides.
- Recording of additional seismic seismic seismic seismic seismic seisms with the aim of collecting more data on the geometry of cracks at higher depths (> 1-2 km) below the bottom.
- Oceanographic parameters (temperature, cloudy, salinity) and concentrations of radioactive elements (eg radon) in the water column and near the bottom, with the aim of detecting a possible increased release of fluid (gas) from the submarine.
The AEGEAN research vessel in the area of ​​Santorini – Amorgos is part of the research program “Athena vs. Enceladus” funded by the Hellenic Research & Innovation Foundation (ELIDEK), implemented by ELKETHE and is the subject of investigating and mapping them underwater active cracking In the wider marine area of ​​the southern Aegean in order to understand and evaluate their seismic potential.
