“We will definitely be here until Sunday,” said Geologist and Research Director at the Hellenic Marine Research Center, Dimitris Sakellariou
Investigations of the Oceanographic Vessel of the Hellenic Center for Marine Research (ELKETHE) are continuing in the Santorini – Amorgos areain order to collect additional data for a more complete understanding of the evolving seismic activity.
The oceanographic vessel sailed with a large research team and proper modern scientific equipment on the afternoon of Wednesday, February 12, 2025 and arrived in the area on Thursday, February 13, 2025.
As he told RES-EIA Geologist and Research Director at the Hellenic Center for Marine Research, Dimitris Sakellarioumap the faults in the wider area of ​​Santorini and Amorgos, and have made measurements for gases and in faults and in the Columbus crater.
“We will definitely be here until Sunday. Unless there is a need to stay above. “Mr. Sakellariou points out in RES-EIA and adds that there are already some estimates and some first results to be presented to the Seismic Risk and Volcanic Risk Committees. “We will discuss them in combination with the results of other colleagues with the various other measurements that are made at the same time,” he notes.
It is noted that the surveys of the AEGEAN in the area between Santorini and Amorgos 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 fluids (gases) from the submarine.
The AEGEAN research vessel in the area of ​​Santorini – Amorgos is part of the “Athena vs. Enceladus” research program, which is funded by the Hellenic Research & Innovation Foundation (ELIDEK), implemented by ELKETHE and is investigating and investigating the investigation of Crusades in the wider marine area of ​​the southern Aegean in order to understand and evaluate their seismic potential.
