Sur Quelques Sources Littorales Et Sous-Marines Autour De La Méditerranée
3 É tudes de Géographie Physique, n° XXXVI, 2009 SUR QUELQUES SOURCES LITTORALES ET SOUS-MARINES AUTOUR DE LA MÉDITERRANÉE Jean NICOD (1) (1) : Florida 1, 35 Avenue du 24 Avril 1915, 13012 MARSEILLE. RÉSUMÉ : Cette étude rassemble des informations et discussions, d'après de nombreux auteurs, sur diverses sources karstiques littorales, d'eau douce ou saumâtre, et émergences sous-marines, dans leur contexte hydrogéologique, géomorphologique et environnemental. La position par rapport au niveau marin des principales sources est précisée (Tab. I) et on rappelle brièvement leur origine et le fonctionnement des émergences, ainsi que les difficultés de captage, du fait des intrusions d'eau marine. On a particulièrement analysé le fonctionnement de Font Estramar et Font-Dame, sur la bordure de l'étang de Salses, en rapport avec le karst des Corbières, le cas analogue de l'alimentation du Lac Siutghiol sur le littoral de la Dobrodgea, le problème classique des "Moulins de la Mer" d'Argostoli et de l'hydrosystème de l'île de Céphalonie, et d'autres problèmes des karsts littoraux (covas de Majorque, etc.). MOTS-CLÉS : Karst littoral, paléo-hydrologie, sources littorales, sources sous-marines. ABSTRACT : This study produces some informations and discussions, after numerous authors, on various fresh water ore brackish (almyros) karstic coastal springs, and submarine springs (vrulja), in their hydrogeological and geomorphological environment. The position of main springs with the present sea level is analysed (tabl. 1), and the genesis and explanation of the brackish and submarine springs is brievly discussed, as well as the difficulties of catching because sea water intrusions. Are particularly showed the connections of Font Estramar and Font-Dame, the springs in the border of Salses lagoon, with the Corbières karstic area, the similar case of supply of the Siutghiol Lake in the Dobrodgea, the classical problem of the "sea mills" of Argostoli and the hydrosystem in the Kephallinia Island, and other problems in some coastal karst (covas of Mallorca...). -

Vlachou Street, GR-22131 Tripoli, Greece; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +30-21-0349-0152 Abstract: In 2014–2018, four strong earthquakes occurred in the Ionian Sea, Greece. After these events, a rich aftershock sequence followed. More analytically, according to the manual solutions of the National Observatory of Athens, the first event occurred on 26 January 2014 in Cephalonia Island with magnitude ML = 5.8, followed by another in the same region on 3 February 2014 with magnitude ML = 5.7. The third event occurred on 17 November 2015, ML = 6.0 in Lefkas Island and the last on 25 October 2018, ML = 6.6 in Zakynthos Island. The first three of these earthquakes caused moderate structural damages, mainly in houses and produced particular unrest to the local population.

Seismic Hazard Analysis in the Ionian Islands Using Macroseismic Intensities*
Project 34 N:17 2/14/11 10:22 PM Page 239 Hellenic Journal of Geosciences, vol. 45, 239 Seismic hazard analysis in the Ionian Islands using macroseismic intensities* Georgios Sakkas, Vicki Kouskouna & Kostas Makropoulos Department of Geophysics, Faculty of Geology & Geoenvironment, University of Athens, Panepistimiopolis, 157 84, Zographou, Athens, Greece ABSTRACT : The seismic hazard of Greece has been studied mainly through methods using maximum expected magnitude and peak ground accel - eration. However, few studies that have taken into account macroseismic intensity data appear in the bibliography. In this paper , a seismic hazard analy - sis based on Gumbel’s approach to PSHA for the Ionian Islands Corfu, Zakynthos, Leukada and Cephalonia is performed , using all the available macroseismic intensity data for the time period 1950 - todate. The macroseismic intensity values, as well as the corresponding locality (name and ge - ographical coordinates) were introduced into a database as Intensity Data Points. For approximately 60 years of observation period, the maximum intensity I max of each locality was identified and probabilistic seismic hazard analy - sis using the HAZAN algorithm is performed. The output of the analysis consists of the most probable maximum intensity for the next 25 years (25 years mode). Key-words : seismic hazard analysis, macroseismic intensities .

Präsentiert Den Reiseführer Für Insel Kefalonia
präsentiert den Reiseführer für Insel Kefalonia Die immergrüne Inseln Kefalonia Wunderschöne Landschaften, phantastische Strände, ein reiches Kulturerbe, bedeutende Monumente, Berge, Burgen, abgelegene Klöster und fröhliche, gastfreundliche Menschen; diese sind die wertvollen Schätze, die Kefalonia zu einem der attraktivsten Urlaubsziele machen. Es handelt sich um die größte Insel des Ionischen Meeres, am Ausgang zum Golf von Patras gelegen, zwischen den Inseln Zakynthos und Lefkada. Die Gesamtfläche der bei Griechenland Reisen noch nicht von den Massen eroberte Insel beträgt 904 qkm, mit einer Küstenlänge von circa 250 km. Die Insel hat eine wunderbare natürliche Schönheit und eine vielfältige geologische Struktur mit zahllosen kleinen Buchten und einer großartigen Vegetation; außerdem imponiert das Gebirgsmassiv Ainos (Nationalpark seit 1962, mit reicher Flora und Fauna) schon von weitem. Kefalonia wurde während der byzantinischen Zeit in die Provinz Achaia eingegliedert und gehörte administrativ zum östlichen Illyrikon. Im Laufe der Zeit wurde die Insel von Nomaden, Franken, Venezianern und Türken erobert. Die Vereinigung mit Griechenland und den restlichen Eptanisa- Inseln erfolge am 21. Mai 1864. Der Widerstand der Bewohner gegen die Italiener und die Deutschen während des zweiten Weltkrieges war sehr groß. Eine Geschichte aus der Zeit des Widerstands wird im Spielfilm „Corellis Mandoline“ wieder erzählt, der auf der Insel an Originalschauplätzen gedreht wurde. © Priv.-Doz. Dimitrios Zachos griechenlandabc.de Argostoli ist seit 1757 die Inselhauptstadt. Es geht um eine moderne Stadt, die Elemente der traditionellen Architektur erhalten hat. Ähnlich wie Amphitheater erbaut und mit Blick auf die Koutavou Lagune, die eine Zwischenstation für die Zugvögel ist. Die Stadt rühmt sich vieler neoklassizistischen Bauten, große Plätze, Kirchen und ein nennenswertes kulturelles Leben, nicht zuletzt mit ihrem bedeutenden Philharmonischen Orchester, den Chören und Theatergruppen. -

On “Arogi” Buildings' Structural System and Construction
heritage Article On “Arogi” Buildings’ Structural System and Construction Procedure after the 1953 Earthquake in Kefalonia Eleni Theotokatou NTUA Architect, 17562 Athens, Greece; [email protected] Received: 27 June 2019; Accepted: 22 July 2019; Published: 26 July 2019 Abstract: After the series of earthquakes in August 1953, most of Kefalonia’s building stock totally collapsed. The buildings that emerged as a result of a collective effort are commonly referred to as “arogi” buildings, with the term arogi meaning help or assistance. In this way, merely referring to these structures is a direct mention to the circumstances under which they were constructed. The reconstruction of the building stock of the island was based in a series of building types proposed from the authorities, and proceeded replacing the richness of the architectural forms that stood before the earthquake, with austere but necessary settlements. Nevertheless, it is these buildings that constitute today’s image of the island. This study wishes to introduce us to the “arogi” buildings structural system, as it was applied in Kefalonia after the 1953 earthquake, with reference to recent bibliography and the recent experience of the 2014 earthquake. The purpose of setting the grounds for such research would be to highlight the effectiveness of this structural system. Moreover, to emphasize the fact that “arogi” buildings and their construction procedure incorporate Kefalonia’s recent history and have eventually produced today’s available “traditional” architecture of the island. Keywords: arogi buildings; 1953 earthquake; confined masonry; Kefalonia 1. Introduction The Ionian Islands stand in a remarkably seismic area, with Kefalonia literally standing on the Greek trench, i.e., where Eurasian and African lithospheric plates come to meet. -
