Afflux de magma provoque 28 000 séismes près de Santorin

Rapporté par l'IA

Un important afflux de magma sous Santorin a causé plus de 28 000 séismes début 2025, selon une nouvelle étude. Les chercheurs ont utilisé une IA avancée et des capteurs de fond marin pour suivre le mouvement de la roche fondue. Les résultats révèlent un lien auparavant inconnu entre Santorin et le volcan sous-marin proche Kolumbo.

Fin janvier 2025, l'île de Santorin et les zones environnantes en mer Égée ont connu une intense activité sismique, avec plus de 28 000 séismes enregistrés, certains dépassant 5,0. Des scientifiques du GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences et du GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, avec des partenaires internationaux, ont détaillé la cause dans une étude publiée dans 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.

Stealth magma surge triggered earthquakes under Azores island

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.

Kikai caldera supervolcano shows signs of magma recharge

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.
