[Redacția CIVIS ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom) 2. NKUA's researchers analyse the seismic activity on Santorini island NKUA's researchers analyse the seismic activity on Santorini island =================================================================== 21 februarie 2025 The intense seismic activity surrounding the Greek island of Santorini is worrying not only its inhabitants and authorities, but also the academic community. Different laboratories and research teams at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens have been focusing on understanding the phenomenon, addressing, in the meantime, any social and psychological implications associated with tectonic activity. ![](/storage/files/santorini-4484957-1920.jpg) ©NKUA Santorini has recently experienced increased seismic activity, prompting significant interest from researchers and local authorities. A variety of research teams, ranging from geology and geophysics to health sciences and psychology, have joined forces to better understand the phenomenon and its effects on both the environment and the local community. Experts from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) have been monitoring the situation by installing seismic stations and ground displacement sensors across the island. Using cutting-edge technology, including artificial intelligence, they are processing seismic data in real time. These efforts aim to enhance predictions and provide more reliable assessments of the risks associated with the ongoing seismic events. In parallel, research has expanded to focus on environmental concerns, such as submarine volcanic activity and its potential impact on marine life. Studies are also being conducted to assess the risk of landslides caused by tectonic movements. Additionally, a specialised team is monitoring the effects of ocean acidification in Santorini's volcanic field, a unique natural setting that serves as a "living laboratory" for global research into the effects of rising CO2 levels on marine ecosystems. Focus on the inhabitants ------------------------ Health and emergency management teams are on high alert and prepared to address any potential health crises. Medical professionals from various specialities, including doctors and nurses, have been mobilised to ensure a rapid response if needed. This includes setting up health units on the island, ready to support the local population during any emergencies. Beyond physical health, psychological well-being is also being prioritised. Researchers from the NKUA's psychology department are working on strategies to help the local community cope with the psychological strain caused by the ongoing seismic activity. These efforts include developing programs to support residents, schoolchildren, teachers, and parents in building mental resilience during these challenging times. This extensive collaboration among researchers, local authorities, and health professionals underscores the importance of a comprehensive approach to disaster preparedness. By addressing both the immediate risks and the long-term effects of seismic activity, the combined efforts aim to ensure the safety and well-being of Santorini’s residents and the protection of its unique natural environment. **More details are available in the [original NKUA story](https://hub.uoa.gr/en/santorini-2025-the-academic-staff-at-the-university-of-athens-supports-the-state-and-the-local-population/).** ### Latest Highlights: *[Researchers at Stockholm University introduce the ‘Valentine's Scale’, measuring the level of satisfaction in a relationship](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/researchers-at-stockholm-university-introduce-the-valentine-s-scale-measuring-the-level-of-satisfaction-in-a-relationship)* [*Aix-Marseille Université awards the title of Doctor Honoris Causa to the Italian President Sergio Mattarella*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/aix-marseille-universite-awards-the-title-of-doctor-honoris-causa-to-the-italian-president-sergio-mattarella) *[University of Tübingen researchers study a new approach to preventing heart attacks and strokes](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/university-tubingen-researchers-study-new-approach-preventing-heart-attacks-strokes)* [*The consolidation of our European University Alliance, highlighted in a CIVIS conference at the UAM*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/consolidation-european-university-alliance-highlighted-civis-conference-uam) [*How Adnet marble provides a stepping stone between Geology and Art at the University of Salzburg*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/how-adnet-marble-provides-a-stepping-stone-between-geology-and-art-at-the-university-of-salzburg) Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/nat4dd-team-800x600.jpg?token=19580f3566e7e590a42ea7ae6661cd46)NAT4DD, noul program comun de masterat al CIVIS, obține acreditarea „European Approach” Study programmes 5 octombrie 2026 ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/nat4dd-joint-master-s-programme-earns-aqas-accreditation-marking-a-milestone-for-civis-joint-education) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/2026-01-10-145317-800x600.jpg?token=bdddc6c1d1da89737850041c5fc0c227)Studenții CIVIS aduc muzica în lumea pacienților cu demență și a îngrijitorilor acestora Connect 22 aprilie 2026 ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/musicians-from-all-over-civis-come-together-in-madrid-to-promote-inclusiveness) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/nkua-cyprus_1-800x600.jpg?token=5a0c4f07a9c8c7ea5f80e2d0b2228df3)NKUA marks historic milestone with the official launch of its Cyprus Branch CIVIS Highlights 24 martie 2026 ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/nkua-marks-historic-milestone-with-the-official-launch-of-its-cyprus-branch) [ Descoperiți toate articolele noastre ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom) [ ULB academics join international scholars in urgent call for aid in RDC's humanitarian crisis ](%20https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/ulb-academics-join-international-scholars-in-urgent-call-aid-in-rdc-humanitarian-crisis%20) [ Researchers at Stockholm University introduce the ‘Valentine's Scale’, measuring the level of satisfaction in a relationship ](%20https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/researchers-at-stockholm-university-introduce-the-valentine-s-scale-measuring-the-level-of-satisfaction-in-a-relationship%20) ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
