The Department of Geology and Geoenvironment of the National University and Kapodistria of Athens observed an extremely important find that causes commotion.
The research team made up of Professor Dr. Efthymi Lekka, Supervisor Dr. Spyridona Mavrouli, Supervisor Dr. Marilia Gogou, Supervisor Dr. Ioanna Trianatafyllou, with the participation of seismologist Dr. Gerasimos Papadopoulos, carried out extensive field research on the Samos earthquake, its effects on buildings, the geodynamic phenomena that accompany it, the tsunami and major ground deformations.
One of the most important findings is tectonic elevation which was observed both in the northern and southern parts, that is, in the ascending part of the fault, which was activated in the maritime zone to the north of the island.
In the northern part the tectonic elevation was certified in coastal locations in Karlovasi, while in the southern part in coastal locations in Potokaki, Pythagorion and Psili Ammos.
From all the in situ observations, it appears that the permanent seismic elevation of the island is of the order of 18-25 cm.
Likewise, the significant landslides are the landslides, which are geodynamically connected to the submarine seismic fault with AD direction and sloping to the north. A typical case is the landslide in the coastal zone. Groove resulting in the temporary cessation of traffic. Additional major rock falls were reported at Kerketeas south of Karlovasi.
The investigation is ongoing and a more comprehensive report will be published shortly at Environmental, disaster and crisis management strategies bulletin, of the Postgraduate Program “Environmental, Disaster and Crisis Management Strategies” from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
