Special machine to measure gases released from volcano Columbone of Santorini will be scientist in the context of research so that the data they collect to be analyzed to see if there is Increased volcanic activity.

They will then continue the journey to the Anhydrous Where throughout the route with special organs that will be trampled on, they will see the morphology of the seabed, as well as the faults that may have been created to better understand the phenomenon that has been observed in the last two weeks.

The scientists of the Oceanographic Aegean of ELKETHE will conduct research in the maritime area for at least three days.

In detail, the AEGEAN’s surveys in the area between Santorini and Amorgos will include:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
