The Tsunami Caused by the 30 October 2020 Samos (Greece), East The tsunami caused by the 30 October 2020 Samos (Greece), East Aegean Sea, Mw6.9 earthquake: impact assessment from post-event field survey and video records (v2, 16 Nov. 2020) Ιoanna Triantafyllou1, Marilia Gogou1, Spyridon Mavroulis1, Katerina-Navsika Katsetsiadou1 , Efthymios Lekkas1 and Gerassimos A. Papadopoulos2 1 Department of Geology & Geoenvironment, National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, 15784 Athens, Greece; [email protected] (I.T.); [email protected] (M.G.); [email protected] (S.M.); [email protected] (K.-N.K.); [email protected] (E.L.) 2 International Society for the Prevention & Mitigation of Natural Hazards, 10681 Athens, Greece; [email protected] Abstract: In this report we present results regarding the impact and the hydrodynamic features of the tsunami that hit Samos and other Eastern Aegean Sea Greek islands soon after the 30 October 2020 earthquake (Mw=6.9). The analysis combines post-event field survey observations, video records examination and an evaluation of interviews with local authority officers and eyewitnesses. The event was a near-field tsunami arriving within 4’-13’ at the north coast of Samos and at the eastern side of Ikaria island. From seven far-field tide records we calculated tsunami magnitude Mt=Mw=6.8. In Vathy town (NE Samos) two strong inundations have been clearly recognized with arrival time difference of 20’, the second being more powerful as compared to the first. Maximum run-up was measured at h~2.0 m asl in run-in distance d=97 m. In Karlovasi (NW Samos) a strong inundation (h~1.70 m at d~80 m) was reported immediately after an initial sea water retreat in ~10’ after the earthquake. In Vathy the water flow velocity inland ranged from 1 m/s to 1.9 m/s while remarkable material damage was caused in various shops and offices. Damage was also noted in cars and small vessels which drifted away by the wave. Less damage was caused in Karlovasi. No casualties were reported. In the south coast of Samos the wave didn’t exceed h~0.6 m. In south Chios island h~1 m was estimated, a few boats crushed on the water break stones. In Evdilos and Ayios Kirikos ports, Ikaria island, h~1.0 m was estimated but no damage caused. Inundation of h<1.0 m has been documented from other islands, e.g. Andros and Patmos. After the seismic tsunamis of Samos (2020), Lesvos (2017) and Kos (2017) the tsunami hazard and risk assessment in the Eastern Aegean Sea should be reconsidered. Preliminary field observations indicating co-seismic 10-25 cm uplift of Samos may imply lower impact than that would have happened if no uplift had occurred. 1. Introduction On 30 October 2020, 11:51:27 UTC, a large shallow earthquake of moment magnitude Mw=6.9 (Νational Observatory of Athens, NOA) or Mw=7.0 (USGS, GFZ) ruptured the Eastern Aegean Sea area to the north of the island of Samos, Greece (Figure 1). Consistent focal mechanisms produced by several seismological institutes show E-W normal faulting (Figure 1) with fault plane very likely dipping towards north. In Samos the most important earthquake impact included two fatalities, 19 minor injuries and damage in hundreds of houses, churches and port infrastructures. In the area of Izmir (W. Turkey), however, at least 114 people are known to have died due to the collapse of buildings and more than 1030 were injured. Powerful tsunami inundation was reported from Samos 2 of 20 and other Greek islands as well as from several coastal sites of western Turkey. In Greece, the General Secretary for Civil Protection disseminated to residents of the eastern Aegean Sea Greek islands a tsunami warning SMS via the European emergency phone number 112. The message was sent at 14:15 local time (12:15 UTC). Remarkable material damage was caused by the tsunami but no fatalities were reported. Other important earthquake associated phenomena, such as co-seismic coastal uplift and several types of ground failures, were also observed in Samos. Although Samos has long seismic history no tsunami associated with the earthquake activity was reported so far. The only exception is the very strong tsunami generated by the distant large earthquake (Mw=7.7, ISC-GEM) of 9 July 1956 in the South Aegean Sea. That tsunami was reportedly observed in coastal spots of south Samos but also in Vathy, the main town at the NE of the island (e.g. Galanopoulos, 1957). In this report we study the impact as well as the hydrodynamic features of the 30 October 2020 tsunami in several observation points along the coasts of Samos and of other Greek islands. In addition, we calculate the tsunami magnitude from far-field tide-gauges records. Figure 1. Coastal sites where tsunami inundation has been documented.

Materials and Methods The Samos 2020 tsunami caused considerable material damage along the coastal zones of Vathy and Karlovasi towns both situated at the north side of Samos facing the earthquake source. For the tsunami study we performed post-event field survey in several coastal sites of Samos from the 31st 3 of 20 October up to the 2nd November 2020. In addition, we interviewed with port authority officers and eyewitnesses and examined several videos recorded by security cameras and mobile phones in Samos and other islands. Near-field tide-gauge records for the Samos 2020 tsunami wave are not available. The closest records come from one tide-gauge station in Bodrum, SW Turkey, as well as from another two stations in Kos island, Greece, situated at epicentral distances of 112-120 km (Table 1). From far- field tide-gauge records, however, we were able to calculate the tsunami magnitude in Mt/Mw scale. Apart from the seven sites where tide-gauge records are available, we documented tsunami inundations in 15 coastal sites of Samos as well as in 5 sites in other islands. From the observations collected we evaluated the wave impact and calculated several hydrodynamic features of the tsunami wave including the number and times of wave arrivals, times of wave retreat, wave run-up, wave run-in and water flow velocity inland. It has not been possible, however, to calculate all parameters for all the observation sites due to restrictions in the data availability. In our analysis we use the next notation: D for distance of an observation site from the shoreline, d for tsunami wave run-in (distance of penetration inland), h for wave run-up above sea level (asl) unless otherwise indicated. All times reported are in UTC unless otherwise indicated. Table 1. Data set used to calculate tsunami magnitude, Mt, for the Mw=7.0 earthquake of 30 October 2020 from tsunami height, H, recorded at 6 tide stations situated at epicentral distances Δ. H is taken as the half of the maximum crest-to-trough height. Stations are operated by the next agencies: 1 by Turkish General Command Mapping (TGCM); 2, 3, 4 jointly by the Space, Security and Migration Directorate-Joint Research Center at Ispra (JRC, EC) and the National Observatory of Athens (NOA, Greece); 5 by the Hellenic Navy Hydrographic Service (HNHS, Greece); 6, 7 by NOA. Tide records were retrieved from the JRC World Sea Levels platform (https:// webcritech.jrc.ec.europa.eu/) and the Sea Level Station Monitoring Facility of IOC (http://www.ioc- sealevelmonitoring.org). no.

The total width of this zone ranges from 40 to 45 m. The inland pedestrian lane is dominated by buildings with various shops, offices, cafeterias, restaurants and other commercial stores. Small streets perpendicular to the main road drive further inland. Similar urban planning characterizes the Karlovasi coastal zone. The height of the seaward pedestrian zone was measured at 60 cm and 110 cm asl in the eastern Vathy bay and in Karlovasi near the Port Authority building, respectively. In western Vathy bay, near the site Malagari where remarkable tsunami impact was observed, no shops and pedestrian zone exist. The area is characterized by the presence of the new commercial port and a marina. For the tsunami magnitude calculation seven far-field tide-gauge records have been utilized. Details of the tide-gauge stations and sources used to retrieve records are summarized in Table 1. 3. Tsunami observation results In the next subsections we provide the results of the observations collected, the estimated tsunami hydrodynamic parameters as well as the tsunami impact in each one of the 20 inundation sites in Samos and the surrounding islands.

This means increasing preparedness and capacity to address the impacts of climate change at local and regional level, developing a coherent approach and improving coordination. The methodology used to assess the climatic vulnerability of the individual sectors and geographical areas of the SAR and ultimately the climate risk assessment comprised nine solid steps beginning from defining “reference" changes of climatic variables to assess the vulnerability of the different activities and ending with ranking sectors and activities as to the magnitude of the risk. The analysis of the climatic vulnerability and danger and hence risk of the different sectors and activities of the South Aegean Region was carried out for the short and medium term (2021-2050) and long-term horizons (2071-2100) and distinct for the geographical units of Cyclades and Dodecanese. According to these findings the proposed measures in the RAPCC were based on island specific characteristics such as financial-social activities, geomorphology and developed both in horizontal and sectoral actions and classified into High, Medium and Low priority.

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
    EGU2020-7656, updated on 03 Oct 2021 https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu2020-7656 EGU General Assembly 2020 © Author(s) 2021. This work is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. 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).

Zwei präeozäne Generationen von Paläokarst sind auf Skopelos zu beobachten. Die erste entwickelte sich während der Unterkreide auf triadischen Dolomiten des alten pelagonischen Schelfs. Die Bauxite und Laterite, mit denen dieser Palaeokarst versiegelt ist, sind aus verschwemmtem Material der Eohellenischen Decke hervorgegangen. Eine zweite Generation von Paläokarst entwickelte sich auf oberkretazi- schen Rudistenkalken und wurde unter palaeogenem Flysch begraben. Drei Generationen neogener Verflachungen treten auf Skopelos oberhalb von 300 m Seehöhe auf.
