Artificial intelligence revealed a large magma unit in the Aegean Sea

Published the study under the direction of the Helmholtz Geobilim Center (GFZ) and the Geomar Ocean Research Center in Germany and in the natural magazine, the seismic crisis in the region mapped in detail thanks to the artificial intelligence -increased data analysis and the sensors of Sea Base.

300 million cubic meters of magma rose

According to the study, around 300 million cubic meters of magma, which rose from the depths of the earth's crust, reached 4 kilometers below the sea base.

In this process, he triggered thousands of earthquakes by breaking the rocks around Magma. The heaviest earthquakes crossed 5 size.

Santorini and Columbo connection

Santorini has experienced many volcanic booms in the course of history. The nearby Columbo sub -water volcano is also an active volcano.

The study showed that the magmabe movement led to a small increase in Santorini and then to a re -collapse that pointed out to a previously unknown hydraulic connection between the two volcanoes.

Artificial intelligence and marine bazesessers

The GFZ team developed a special method for artificial intelligence that processes huge seismic data records. GEOMAR said that both seismic signals and 30 centimeters in the marine are placed with the marine base in the Columbo crater. This was followed by the time, direction and speed of the magma flow with high accuracy.

Warning for the future

Researchers say that such detailed data will better monitor the future activities of volcanoes in the region. Prof. Geomar. Heirun Kopp: “These results were regularly shared to the Greek authorities. Our goal is to deliver the fastest and fastest evaluation of possible new earthquakes,” he said.

Professor of the Athens University. Paraskevi Nomikou said: “Understanding processes in such an active geological region is of crucial importance for the safety of the people,” he said.

While scientific observations in the area of ​​Santorini and Columbo continue, experts emphasize that such studies will play a decisive role in the early detection of possible volcanic dangers in the future.
