Post-eruptive flooding of Santorini caldera and implications for tsunami generation
- Abstract:
-
Caldera-forming eruptions of island volcanoes generate tsunamis by the interaction of different eruptive phenomena with the sea. Such tsunamis are a major hazard, but forward models of their impacts are limited by poor understanding of source mechanisms. The caldera-forming eruption of Santorini in the Late Bronze Age is known to have been tsunamigenic, and caldera collapse has been proposed as a mechanism. Here, new bathymetric and seismic evidence shows that the caldera was not open to...
