Oleada de magma provoca 28.000 terremotos cerca de Santorini

Un masivo flujo de magma bajo Santorini causó más de 28.000 terremotos a principios de 2025, según un nuevo estudio. Los investigadores utilizaron IA avanzada y sensores del fondo marino para rastrear el movimiento de la roca fundida. Los hallazgos revelan una conexión previamente desconocida entre Santorini y el cercano volcán submarino Kolumbo.

A finales de enero de 2025, la isla de Santorini y las áreas circundantes en el mar Egeo experimentaron una intensa actividad sísmica, con más de 28.000 terremotos registrados, algunos superando la magnitud 5,0. Científicos del GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences y del GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, junto con socios internacionales, detallaron la causa en un estudio publicado en Nature.

A magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck waters near Bitung, North Sulawesi, on Thursday morning at 06:48 Wita, triggering an early tsunami warning for North Sulawesi and North Maluku. Strong shaking was felt as far as Manado and Gorontalo, resulting in two casualties in Manado. BMKG confirmed the location at 1.25 N, 126.27 E, depth 62 km.

A massive body of magma surged upward beneath São Jorge Island in Portugal's Azores archipelago in March 2022, triggering thousands of earthquakes before stalling underground. The event, detailed in a new study, represented a failed eruption that raised but ultimately eased fears of volcanic activity.

Researchers have found that the magma reservoir beneath Japan's Kikai caldera, site of the Holocene's largest eruption 7,300 years ago, is refilling with newly injected magma. Using underwater seismic imaging, a team led by Kobe University's Nobukazu Seama mapped the reservoir and linked it to the ancient event. The discovery offers insights into how such systems rebuild after massive eruptions.
