This became more evident with the joint collaboration to host the International Forum on Satellite Earth Observations for Geohazards (the Santorini Conference) from 21-23 May, 2012 in Santorini, Greece. Agence France Presse has reported that, in 2010, disaster events caused the death of almost 300 000 people, affected another 220 million and resulted in more than $120 billion of economic damages. While 2011 saw a drop in fatalities, the economic damages tripled to over $366 billion. The Japanese earthquake and tsunami of March 2011 alone accounted for over half of these damages. By 2050, the number of people exposed to storms and earthquakes in large cities could double, underlining the need for better geohazard-related information for improved disaster risk management (DRM). Earth observation (EO) satellites have a major role to play in contributing to the understanding, mitigation, preparedness and management of geophysical risks. Working together with the research community and industry, ESA has a long history of science and application development using EO to support geohazard risk management. ESA is one of the founders of the International Charter Space and Major Disasters (the Charter) which since its inception in 2000 has been activated in response to over 330 major disasters in more than 120 countries. At the other end of the risk management cycle, ESA initiated a range of mitigation precursor projects looking at risk assessment to better characterize hazards and risks. These include supporting the development of sustainable services via nationally mandated organisations in Europe, such as the Terrafirma and Risk EOS actions of the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) Service Element (GSE) programme. Such services contribute to the realisation of a GMES portfolio that the European Commission (EC) manages today. In Europe, GMES will provide the foundation for further development of geohazard services using satellite-based Earth observation. The new Sentinel missions, especially Sentinel-1 and 2, will form the backbone of GMES operational services to the geohazard community. The full implementation of the Sentinel programme, when used together with the capacities of existing national missions such as COSMO-SkyMed, TerraSAR-X, Pleiades, Radarsat-2 and the planned Radarsat Constellation Mission (RCM), will offer European and global users huge improvements in both temporal and spatial resolution, as well as geographic coverage. On a global basis, ESA is collaborating with both the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS), the space coordination arm of GEO, and GEO itself, to examine activities of member Agencies across a broad range of hydro- meteorological and geophysical hazards, covering the entire disaster cycle. The aim is to ensure more effective and balanced efforts among the agencies by assessing gaps and overlaps. In 2007, ESA and GEO convened the 3rd International Workshop on Geohazards in Frascati, Italy, which addressed geophysical risks and the contribution of EO to geohazard research. As a result, the Geohazard Supersites and Natural Laboratories (GSNL) were created and remain the premier contribution of satellite EO to geohazard research. The GSNL are an initiative of the international geohazard scientific community, providing access to space- borne and in-situ geophysical data over selected sites prone to geohazards. In Europe, more than 50 geological surveys are committed to becoming users of EO-based terrain deformation services. In Italy, the government has purchased continuous InSAR coverage for the complete territory; the Swiss authorities have adopted EO as a method for monitoring landslide risks. Examples like this 3 STM draft demonstrate that geohazards are also an area with a strongly developed user community. There is also ample evidence of this through the long-standing work of the Geohazard Community of Practice (GHCP) within GEO and within the more focused communities of the specific geohazards examined at the Santorini Conference: seismic hazards, volcanic hazards, landslide hazards, inactive mine hazards and coastal lowland subsidence hazards. The Santorini Conference provided the geohazard community with the opportunity to forge a vision and concrete objectives that will serve as the basis for agency planning in relation to investment on further use of EO. These objectives are captured in each of the thematic chapters addressed in the report. The publication of this volume on the Santorini Conference marks a milestone in the international effort to apply satellite EO to geohazards, by defining clear objectives for each of the geohazard communities listed above, and charting a vision for the implementation of strategies to achieve these objectives. ESA and GEO are proud to have been the conveners of this important event. We believe the publication of this report will become a landmark in the improved application of satellite-EO to geohazard risk management for many years to come.

It gathered over 140 participants from 20 countries including European countries, the US, Canada, Japan and China. Over 70 organisations were represented, ranging from international organisations (e.g. World Bank) to public institutes, space agencies, universities and the private sector. From the private sector, 12 companies attended including non-EO service providers (e.g. Deltares) and sectoral users (e.g. Willis – global insurance broker). The Santorini Conference was an opportunity for users and practitioners of the geohazard community to come together and discuss the state-of-the-art in satellite-based Earth observations (EO) and objectives for the community over the coming 5 to 10 years. Sessions examined community papers drafted before the event covering five critical areas of application: volcanoes; landslides; seismic hazards; coastal subsidence and flood defence; and inactive mine hazards. Another session addressed industrial services presenting the current and immediate future plans for observations and issues and strategies to address emerging market opportunities. This report

  • Tectonic Map of the Hellenic Volcanic Arc and Trench (Dominey-Howes and Minos-Minopoulos
    Saturday, May 3rd Santorini, Greece Santorini is part of the Hellenic Volcanic Arc of the southern Aegean Sea (Greece). This arc is due to the subduction of the African plate beneath the Eurasian plate (Aegean subplate). The Hellenic Volcanic Arc extends about 500 kms., from the eastern coast of mainland Greece to western Turkey and is located approximately 250 kms. north of the trench. The Hellenic Volcanic Arc includes the volcanic islands of Aegina, Methana, Poros, Milos, Santorini, Kos, Yali and Nisyros. Milos, Santorini, Kos and Nisyros have been the most active recently. The rate of subduction is approximately 5 cm per year to the northeast at the Ionian, Pliny and Strabo trenches south of Crete. The Pliny and Strabo, to the east, are transpressional while the Ionian, to the west, is more compressional. Santorini rests on a basement of Mesozoic marbles and lower Tertiary phyllites and metasandstones (Druitt and Francaviglia, 1990) that experienced Alpine deformation. These basement rocks are similar to the adjacent Cycladic islands of Anaphe, Ios, and Amorgos. Santorini is a volcanic complex made up of several islands around a flooded caldera. The caldera is a composite structure, the result of multiple collapse events. Druitt and Francaviglia (1992) identified at least 12 major eruption events in the past 200,000 years. The caldera margin rises 400 meters above sea level and 400 meters below and is dissected by three channels. The islands of Thera, Therasia and Aspronisi contain volcanics that predate an 3600 BP (Late Minoan) eruption while the islands of Palaea and Nea Kameni contain dacitic lava that were extruded after this Late Bronze Age eruption.

  • GREECE 2000 Victoria Griffiths
    GREECE 2000 Victoria Griffiths During Easter 2000, 13 intrepid adventurers from the Society went on the Millennium expedition to the Aegean organized and led by Pat Bennett. Over the trip we visited four main islands with visits to several others. The geology of the islands was very varied ranging from volcanic to Barrovian metamorphism. Geology was not the only interest of the party, other interests included history, bird watching, beekeeping. Oh yes! Food and drink. The staple diet of the party included Greek salad, cheese pie, calamari, olives and tost (toasted sandwich) with some Amstel and Metaxa to wash it all down. Santorini The first island that we visited was Santorini. Santorini is an island formed by the caldera of a volcano. The sea has breached the caldera wall forming a ring of islands around two smaller islands in the centre. We flew into Santorini on an island hopper plane called Creti! We then went to our hotel in Kamari. The next morning we were driven to Thira. From this point we could see across the caldera to the islands of Nea Kameni and Palaea Kameni in the centre of the caldera. We walked down through the layers of ash, lava and ignimbrite to the small port at the bottom. We took the boat over to Nea Kameni where we climbed up the volcano. This is even possible on crutches! The boat then took us over to Palaea Kameni where the more adventurous people in the boat had a swim in the natural hot springs in the sea. On the way back there was a clear view of the layers of ash and lava.

We present results from the first geochemical survey of Hg and major volatile (CO2, H2S, H2O and H2) concentrations and fluxes in the fumarolic gases released by the volcanic/hydrothermal system of Nea Kameni islet; the active volcanic center of Santorini. These data were obtained using a portable mercury spectrometer (Lumex 915+) for gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) determina- tion, and a Multi-component Gas Analyzer System (Multi-GAS) for major volatiles. Gaseous Elemental Mercury (GEM) concentrations in the fumarole atmospheric plumes were systematically above background levels (~4 ng GEM m–3), rang- ing from ~4.5 to 121 ng GEM m–3. Variability in the measured mercury concentrations may result from changes in atmos- pheric conditions and/or unsteady gas release from the fumaroles.

Der Weg dorthin war nicht einfach, zumal der Vorstand unserer Sportvereinigung immer wissen möchte warum, wieso und weshalb? Wir hat- ten uns seinerzeit vom Laser verabschiedet und dafür diesen Bootstyp eingeworben. Außerdem ist bei diesem Typ der Baum etwas höher angebracht und so gesehen für die Ausbildung als ideal zu bezeichnen. Am 20.05. konnten wir bei bestem Wetter und in einer kleinen Runde die Taufe vollziehen. Siggi, unser Spartenleiter, wurde dann von Thomas gebeten die Prozedur zu übernehmen, während die eigentliche Taufe nur von einer Frau durchgeführt werden darf. Unser neues Boot, das „Joule-chen“. Kommen da noch welche, oder kann es jetzt losgehen? Nach einer kurzen Präparation erfolgt die Ansprache zur Taufe durch den Spartenleiter. 34 Hier der Text meiner Ansprache: Ich habe mir vor kurzem alte Yacht-Zeitschriften angesehen und in der Ausgabe 17/86 einen Artikel gefunden, der sich mit Bootstaufen beschäftigt - Titel: "Umtrunk mit Zube- hör".

It has exceptional beaches and one of the best system of walking paths and trails of any Greek island. Kea is a hiker's paradise with numbered routes that take you through a variety of landcapes to remote coves and the ruins of ancient cities. The most famous sight on the island is the Lion of Kea, or Lionda. It is a big, archaic sculpture of the mythical lion (see history) The monastery of Panagia Kastriani is also worth a visit, and you can even stay here in one of its cells. The monastery dates back to the 18th century. There are many sandy beaches on Kea, and just to mention a few, there is Otzias, Koundouros and Korissia.

Because it was such a pretty island, the gods' got jealous, and sent a lion to ravage the land. The nymphs fled, and as a subsequence, the island dried out. The Keans then asked Apollo's son Aristaeus for help, and he built a temple to Zeus, who apart from being the highest god, also was the one who sent rain.
