In real time, he monitors the earthquake activity in the volcanic complex of Santorini, as well as in the Santorini -Amorgos Zone, near the island of Anhydros, the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, through the Seismology Laboratory of the Department of Geology and Geophobes.

In an extraordinary announcement issued by the Interdisciplinary Risk and Crisis Management Committee of the NCSR, there is a detailed reference to seismic activity, especially since June 2024. In fact, the announcement states that more than 2,500 earthquakes had been identified by 1 February, and the abnormally high earthquake productivity of more than 4 degrees Richter began, and that the “image presented by the seismic activity is not excluded to have attractive seismic sequences “

More specifically, according to the announcement, in June 2024, a micro -seismic activity began to appear within the Caldera of Santorini, which intensified in mid -September. “This is the first time since the period 2011-2012, which shows a significant micro-seismic activity within the comple,” according to the announcement, which notes that the Santorini seismology laboratory has installed permanent seismological stations in Santorini since 2011.

As for the area of ​​the Columbus submarine volcano, ~ 8 km NE of Santorini, she “appears more active seismic” over time “.

According to the same announcement, the micro-seismic focus in Santorini were mainly found in the New Kameni and the wider region of Imerovigli-Fira, along the “Kameni Line” with a Ba-ND address and at the same time, a micro-seismic activity also appeared in the area east of Columbo.

In total, according to the same announcement, from June 2024 to January 25, 2025, more than 1,200 earthquakes in the Santorini-Kolubo area were identified with modern methods of mechanical learning. 08:57:25 Greek time, focusing on the NA coast of Thirasia, with 3.8 on the Richter scale.

On January 26th, a new group of earthquakes east of the Columbus volcano appeared, with a strong rise the following day. By January 29, more than 1,300 earthquakes were identified using mechanical learning. By February 1, more than 2,500 earthquakes had been identified, and the abnormally high earthquake productivity of more than 4 degrees Richter began.

It is reported that the seismicity spread to the area around the islet ‘Anidros. According to daily seismic data analysis data of the Seismology Laboratory of the NCSR, from February 1 to February 4 at 09:00, 43 earthquakes grew more than or equal to 4.0. The biggest earthquakes occurred on February 3, 14:17:41 and February 4, 04:46:07 with size 5.0.

It is also noted that the dense seismological network of Santorini, with stations belonging to the Single National Seismographs Network (EDS), in which the seismology laboratory of the NCSR, is reinforced by the installation of new organs both in Santorini and the surrounding islands.

However, the Interdisciplinary Risk and Crisis Management Committee of the NCSR is given particular emphasis on the study of territorial deformation and how it is linked to seismicity.

According to the announcement, a permanent satellite geodetic GNSS/GPS/GPS station in Imerovigli (Sant Station) has been installed since 2011, and since 1994 it has been installed and re-counted periodically non-permanent GPS stations network in 21sts in Thira, Thirasia and Nea Kameni .

Concerning territorial deformation and seismic activity, it is stated: ‘The daily resolution of data from the Sant (sant) has highlighted a change in the area’s kinematic behavior from August 2024. After the activity of the 2011-2012 period the territorial speed antiquity It depicted the tectonic movement of the wider area in the horizontal direction (in relation to ITRF2014) and stable in the vertical. Since August 2024 there has been a rotation of the horizontal district to east-northeast direction, and simultaneously raising a pace comparable to that of the 2011-2012 period. For a better spatial study of soil movement, the region’s non-monthly GPS network will be re-entered. The aim is to accurately determine the spatial distribution of territorial deformation throughout the Thira-Thirassia area, and to study how it is connected to the two volcanic centers, the New Kameni and Columbus. “

Finally, the announcement concludes that “it is not excluded that the activity will have attractive sequences”. “The image presented by seismic activity in the area between Santorini and Amorgos, with increasing earthquakes with sizes greater than or equal to 4.0, although it is likely to have characteristic seside (a large number of earthquakes with similar sizes), it is not excluded that it has attractive sequences. “, It is typically mentioned.
