Wake up, check to see if Santorini is still there or not. Or, hoping for a glance of Godzilla. Still there, but NO Godzilla 😢
Underwater seismographs planned to study Santorini’s Kolumbo volcano
Four state-of-the-art portable underwater seismographs that will study the underwater volcano of Kolumbo in Santorini were being installed inside the caldera on Tuesday and next to the submarine fault of Anydros, by an international team of researchers, following a spike in seismic activity in the area.
The team includes scientists from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research in Kiel and the University of Potsdam, as well as the professor of Geological ...

"Such earthquake swarms are not uncommon under active volcanic systems and have also been observed repeatedly under Santorini and Kolumbo (Bohnhoff et al. 2006). One possible cause is volcanic activity, i.e. molten rock or other fluids rising upwards in the earth's crust. Another possibility is the movement of the earth's plates, which can lead to stresses in the rock and the sudden release of these stresses and thus to earthquakes."
""I'm not afraid at all," says one Santorini resident, who decided to stay put on the volcanic island despite thousands of her neighbours fleeing amid the ongoing earthquakes.
Chantal Metakides insists that she would not be joining her compatriots. "For 500 years, this house has lived through earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and it's still standing," she told AFP news agency, adding, "there's no reason why this should change"."
BBC: What is happening in Santorini?
""It is really unprecedented, we have never seen something like this before in [modern times] in Greece," says Dr Athanassios Ganas, research director of the National Observatory of Athens.
....Experts say they're seeing many earthquakes within a relatively small area, which don't fit the pattern of a mainshock-aftershock sequence, says Dr Ganas....
But what is happening now are not volcanic earthquakes, say Dr Ganas. Volcanic earthquakes have a characteristic signature of low frequency wave forms and these have not been exhibited here."
Santorini: Gefahr durch nahen Unterseevulkan?
Reservoir unter dem Kolumbo-Vulkan füllt sich schnell mit flüssigem Magma
Sieben Kilometer vor der Küste der Insel #Santorini könnte sich ein unterseeischer #Vulkanausbruch anbahnen. Denn seismische Messungen enthüllen, dass sich unter dem #Kolumbo-#Vulkan schmelzflüssiges #Magma sammelt. Die Magmakammer könnte sich in den nächsten 150 Jahren weit genug füllen, um eine starke explosive Eruption mit #Tsunami auszulösen, wie #Vulkanologen berichten. Sie empfehlen eine engmaschige Überwachung.
Unter dem Kolumbo-Vulkan hat sich demnach schon wieder flüssiges, potenziell eruptives Magma angesammelt. Die aktuelle Füllmenge liegt den Daten zufolge bei rund 1,4 Kubikkilometer – und nimmt stetig weiter zu. Wie die Vulkanologen ermittelten, füllt sich das Reservoir mit einer Rate von rund 0,004 Kubikkilometer pro Jahr oder 330 Kilogramm pro Sekunde.

Looks like 13+ M4 earthquakes there in the last hour. 🤯
On looks to be marked very shallow, 2km
I dunno about you, but 4.0+ earthquakes every few minutes ain't right. #Santorini #earthquake #greece #kolumbo #volcano
M5.2 earthquake in the Aegean near Amorgos... biggest one yet? #earthquake #santorini #kolumbo #greece
I know this is all just pattern noise in the data, but I vote "giant squid" as the Kaiju emerging there. 🤪 #Santorini #Kolumbo #earthquakes
Earthquake depth vs. longitude is particularly interesting (IMHO). If that's not a volcano coming to the surface, I dunno what it is, LOL. (ps. I am not an earthquake or volcano scientist) #Kolumbo #earthquake #Santorini #greece
Pretty nifty earthquake distribution graph on the left
Hilarious example of "cognitive dissonance" in this LiveScience article
LiveScience: Santorini earthquake swarm intensifies but likely won't trigger volcano
".... the earthquakes by Santorini are likely caused by a series of faults — or zones where two blocks of rock move or slip against each other. However, he noted that the earthquakes were "unusual."
"The problem with this event is that we've just seen earthquake after earthquake after earthquake," Pyle said. "It's all underwater, and so it's really hard to anticipate what's going to happen next."..."
M5.0 a little ago there in the waters off Santorini (looks to me, in my unprofessional opinion, to be near the Kolombo volcanic field,although no experts are saying it is a volcano yet). #earthquakes #greece #santorini #kolumbo #volcano
