Ground Deformation Modelling of the 2020 Mw6.9 Samos Earthquake (Greece) Based on Insar and GNSS Data remote sensing Article Ground Deformation Modelling of the 2020 Mw6.9 Samos Earthquake (Greece) Based on InSAR and GNSS Data Vassilis Sakkas Department of Geophysics-Geothermics, National Kapodistrian University of Athens, Panepistimiopolis Zografou, 15784 Athens, Greece; [email protected]; Tel.: +30-2107274914 Abstract: Modelling of combined Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data was performed to characterize the source of the Mw6.9 earthquake that occurred to the north of Samos Island (Aegean Sea) on 30 October 2020. Pre-seismic analysis revealed an NNE–SSW extensional regime with normal faults along an E–W direction. Co- seismic analysis showed opening of the epicentral region with horizontal and vertical displacements of ~350 mm and ~90 mm, respectively. Line-of-sight (LOS) interferometric vectors were geodetically corrected using the GNSS data and decomposed into E–W and vertical displacement components. Compiled interferometric maps reveal that relatively large ground displacements had occurred in the western part of Samos but had attenuated towards the eastern and southern parts. Alternating motions occurred along and across the main geotectonic units of the island. The best-fit fault model has a two-segment listric fault plane (average slip 1.76 m) of normal type that lies adjacent to the northern coastline of Samos. This fault plane is 35 km long, extends to 15 km depth, and dips to the north at 60◦ and 40◦ angles for the upper and lower parts, respectively. A predominant dip-slip component and a substantial lateral one were modelled. Citation: Sakkas, V.

The review also includes suggestions for further areas that should be designated within the scope of these two Directives. Although the two Directives have different objectives, the areas designated as sensitive or vulnerable are reviewed simultaneously because of the similarities in the designation process. The investigations will focus upon: • Checking that those waters that should be identified according to either Directive have been; • in the case of the Nitrates Directive, assessing whether vulnerable zones have been designated correctly and comprehensively. The identification of vulnerable zones and sensitive areas in relation to the Nitrates Directive and Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive is carried out according to both common and specific criteria, as these are specified in the two Directives. 1.1 THE URBAN WASTEWATER TREATMENT DIRECTIVE (91/271/EEC) The Directive concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of urban wastewater as well as biodegradable wastewater from certain industrial sectors. The designation of sensitive areas is required by the Directive since, depending on the sensitivity of the receptor, treatment of a different level is necessary prior to discharge.

  • Tourism Development in Greek Insular and Coastal Areas: Sociocultural Changes and Crucial Policy Issues
    Tourism Development in Greek Insular and Coastal Areas: Sociocultural Changes and Crucial Policy Issues Paris Tsartas University of the Aegean, Michalon 8, 82100 Chios, Greece The paperanalyses two issuesthat have characterised tourism development inGreek insularand coastalareas in theperiod 1970–2000. The firstissue concerns the socioeco- nomic and culturalchanges that have taken place in theseareas and ledto rapid– and usuallyunplanned –tourismdevelopment. The secondissue consists of thepolicies for tourismand tourismdevelopment atlocal,regional and nationallevel. The analysis focuseson therole of thefamily, social mobility issues,the social role of specific groups, and consequencesfor the manners, customs and traditionsof thelocal popula- tion.It also examines the views and reactionsof localcommunities regarding tourism and tourists.There is consideration of thenew productive structuresin theseareas, including thedowngrading of agriculture,the dependence of many economicsectors on tourism,and thelarge increase in multi-activityand theblack economy. Another focusis on thecharacteristics of masstourism, and on therelated problems and criti- cismsof currenttourism policies. These issues contributed to amodel of tourism development thatintegrates the productive, environmental and culturalcharacteristics of eachregion. Finally, the procedures and problemsencountered in sustainabledevel- opment programmes aiming at protecting the environment are considered. Social and Cultural Changes Brought About by Tourism Development in the Period 1970–2000 The analysishere focuseson three mainareas where these changesare observed:sociocultural life, productionand communication. It should be noted thata large proportionof all empirical studies of changesbrought aboutby tourism development in Greece have been of coastal and insular areas. Social and cultural changes in the social structure The mostsignificant of these changesconcern the family andits role in the new ‘urbanised’social structure, social mobility and the choicesof important groups, such as young people and women.

  • Trees and Shrubs of Ikaria Island (Greece)*
    ARBORETUM KÓRNICKIE ROCZNIK 41, 1996 Kazimierz Browicz, Jerzy Zieliński Trees and shrubs of Ikaria Island (Greece)* Abstract Browicz К., Zieliński J. 1996. Trees and shrubs of Ikaria island (Greece). Arbor. Kórnickie 41: 15-45. The results are presented of dendrological field studies conducted by the authors on Ikaria in Spring 1994. The woody flora of the island contains 103 spontaneously occurring species, including 82 native and 21 naturalized taxa. Fifteen indigenous and 18 naturalized species are reported for the first time. Point maps of distribution of more interesting or rare species were prepared. Key words: Chorology, trees, shrubs, Greece, Ikaria. Address: K. Browicz, J. Zieliński, Polish Academy of Sciences, Institute of Dendrology, 62-035, Kórnik, Poland. Accepted for publication, April 1996. INTRODUCTION Ikaria, located in the eastern part of the Aegean Sea, belongs to the Asiatic Greek islands. It constitutes one of the important elements of the disrupted landbridge join­ ing Anatolia and the Balkan Peninsula, stretching from Samos in the east through the Cyklades (Mikonis, Tinos, Andros) to Evvoia in the west. The island is strongly elon­ gated, its maximum length in a straight line being about 30 km while the greatest width in the eastern part is only 9 km. Its area covers 255 km2 and coastal line has 102 km. Ikaria is of montane appearance. Its main mountain range - Oros Atheras, spreads out along the whole length of the island, having the highest peaks 1042 and 1027 m in the east, 981 m in the central part, and 1033 m in the west. Coasts are generally precipitous, rocky and stony.

  • Rare Indigenous Sheep Breeds of Greece Kominakis, A
    Rare indigenous sheep breeds of Greece Kominakis, A. and E. Rogdakis Department of Animal Breeding & Husbandry, Agricultural University of Athens (AUA), Iera Odos 75, 11855, Athens, Greece, tel. +30-2105294403, fax +30-2105294442, e-mail: [email protected] Of the 6400 documented farm animal breeds, about one third is threatened by extinction (Scherf, 2000). Unlike in general biology, the focus in farm animal biodiversity is not on species, but on breeds within species. While species are clearly defined, breeds are not. Some definitions are based on arguments from population genetics while others also include sociological and cultural considerations. An exhaustive survey, lasted over 3 years, was undertaken by the Department of Animal Breeding & Husbandry of AUA, in an attempt to identify and describe the rare indigenous sheep breeds of Greece. According to this study, there were totally 17 sheep breeds identified. In terms of census population size, the status of these indigenous sheep populations could be characterized as critical i.e. close to extinction (N<300), endangered (300<N<1000), vulnerable (N=1,000-5,000) or insecure (N=5,000- 10,000) (Bodo, 1989, modified). It should be, however, noted that these are general guidelines; knowledge of the effective population size (Ne) is more important because it is directly associated with the genetic variation of a population. In breeding populations, Ne can be dramatically smaller than the census one because it is strongly affected by the ratio of males to females, selection and non random mating. The major morphological and (re)production characteristics of the 17 rare sheep breeds are presented in Table 1.

Contemporary Kinematics of the South Aegean Area (Greece) Detected with Continuous GNSS Measurements Vassilis Sakkas, Chrysa Doxa, Andreas Tzanis, and Haralambos Kranis National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, Department of Geology and the Geoenvironment, Athens, Greece ([email protected]) We examine the kinematic characteristics of the crustal deformation in the broader southern Aegean region using 47 permanent GNNS stations distributed across the eastern Peloponnesus, Attica, Cyclades, Dodecanese, Crete and the coast of western Anatolia. Our analysis is based on the study of velocity vectors relative to local reference points at the western and eastern halves of the study area, as well as on the strain field calculated from absolute velocity vectors across the study area. We demonstrate that the South Aegean region undergoes complex distributed block deformation. At the eastern end of the study area this varies from N210°-N220° extension and with crustal thinning across NE Peloponnesus – Attica, to N210°-N220° compression between the central- eastern Peloponnesus and western Crete, both consistent with the geodynamic setting of the Hellenic Subduction System. A principal feature of the S. Aegean crust appears to be a broad shear zone extending between the islands of Samos/Ikaria and Kalymnos, Paros/Naxos and Amorgos and Milos – Santorini; It exhibits left-lateral kinematics and its southern boundary appears to coincide with the Amorgos – Santorini ridge and comprise the Anhydros basin and associated volcanic field (including Columbo and Santorini).
