Tsunamis in the European-Mediterranean Region

From Historical Record to Risk Mitigation

By: Gerassimos Papadopoulos

Tsunamis in the European-Mediterranean Region: From Historical Record to Risk Mitigation provides readers with a much needed, reliable, and up-to-date history of the region, including descriptions and parameters of the main events from pre-history to the present that are supported by parametric catalogues, pictorial material, and examples of instrumental records, such as tide-gauge records. The book presents a broader perspective of needed action for local and national governments, and international organizations, and is written by an internationally recognized expert in this field, providing an authoritative account of historical tsunamis in the eastern Mediterranean. It addresses key points of tsunami mitigation, including the systems currently available for tsunami recording, monitoring, and early warning, along with a presentation of the preventative measures that can be applied in all tsunami-vulnerable regions. - Details the systems currently available for tsunami recording, monitoring, and early warning, and the technologies that support them - Contains numerical modeling techniques used for the generation, propagation, and inundation of tsunamis - Presents clear examples of tsunamis in the region and their documentation, as well as comparisons with other regions globally - Includes full-color illustrations that accompany the text

A Seismic History of Crete

The Hellenic Arc and Trench

By: Gerasimos A. Papadopulos

The book introduces the geodynamics and seismicity of the Hellenic Arc and Trench region, the Minoan archaeology of Crete, analysis of the main documentary sources used, and the methodology followed to calculate historical earthquake parameters. A number of earthquake events occurring from Antiquity up to 2011 are described with the support of documentary sources in the original languages and English translation, and of instrumental records. Field geological and archaeological observations as well as pictorial material supplement the documentation. Earthquake focal parameters are evaluated and reliability scales are introduced. Associated phenomena, such as tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, seaquakes, liquefaction in soil, rockfalls and landslides, earthquake precursors and the similar are also discussed. Each one of the main historical periods of Crete, from the Minoan era up to the modern one, are examined separately.

Minoan Earthquakes

Breaking the Myth Through Interdisciplinarity

By: Simon Jusseret,M. Sintubin

Interdisciplinary study on the role of earthquakes in the eastern Mediterranean. Does the "Minoan myth" still stand up to scientific scrutiny? Since the work of Sir Arthur Evans at Knossos (Crete, Greece), the romanticized vision of the Cretan Bronze Age as an era of peaceful prosperity only interrupted by the catastrophic effects of natural disasters has captured the popular and scientific imagination. Its impact on the development of archaeology, archaeoseismology, and earthquake geology in the eastern Mediterranean is considerable. Yet, in spite of more than a century of archaeological explorations on the island of Crete, researchers still do not have a clear understanding of the effects of earthquakes on Minoan society. This volume, gathering the contributions of Minoan archaeologists, geologists, seismologists, palaeoseismologists, geophysicists, architects, and engineers, provides an up-to-date interdisciplinary appraisal of the role of earthquakes in Minoan society and in Minoan archaeology - what we know, what are the remaining issues, and where we need to go.
