Santorini Volcanic Complex (SVC): How Much Has the Crustal Velocity Structure Changed since the 2011–2012 Unrest, and at What Point Are We Now?
2024
Overview
This study is focused on one of the most active features of the Hellenic Volcanic Arc Southern Aegean Sea, the Santorini Island Volcanic Complex (SVC). The recent volcano-tectonic crisis in the intracalderic area has emerged the need for closer monitoring of the region. The 2011–2012 unrest has been attributed to the augmentation of fluid flow inside local mapped fracture zones. After March 2012, the seismic activity dropped significantly, raising questions about whether we would have a long period of quiescence or be on a break before the next period of unrest. In this research, a re-examination of the seismic outbreak of 2011–2012 was conducted by adding more travel-time data from 2013 while we further analyzed the waveform data from 2014 to May 2024 to explore the differences of the SVC body-wave velocity structure by performing seismic tomography in these two time windows. The new dataset serves to identify the state of the Santorini Volcanic Complex. The results show a significant reduction in Vp and Vs anomalies at shallow depths since the period of unrest. At the same time, the distribution of Vp/Vs ratio remains high (>1.87) in the area NNE of Kameni at a shallower depth (2 km). The areas of Christiana Islands and Columbo volcano are mainly characterized by negative body-wave anomalies and low Vp/Vs ratio (1.56–1.64) at shallow depths for the study period, while a possible explanation to results in the submarine volcano may be explained by dry steam/gas phases that may have resulted in the generation of the swarms that occurred in the region.
