Description

• (Abstract) Our group aims to identify evidence of undetected magmatic activity through the identification of microseismic events. We focus on the western Saronic Gulf region within the Aegean Sea. Since 2019, the National Observatory of Athens and the University of Patras have operated six seismic stations on Methana and the nearby Peloponnese mainland.In March 2024, our group deployed an additional 15 remote recording stations from the Geophysical Instrument Pool of GFZ Potsdam across Methana, Aegina, Agistri islands, and the mainland Peloponnese. We use MARK L-4C-3D seismometers in combination with DATA-CUBE3 data loggers equipped with external batteries. This project is part of the MULTI-MAREX initiative funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). Waveform data is available from the GEOFON data centre, under network code 1A.
