The Seismology (SM) Division at EGU aims to strengthen its interdisciplinarity and impact by driving the development from static to dynamic geophysical models, by conducting research that spans from acquisition parameters to petrophysical properties, and by supporting the transition from geo-modelling to geo-technical application. Thereby, the SM Division will be increasingly able to make relevant forecasts and provide valuable information to tackle future challenges in securing natural resources and quantifying natural hazards.</p> <p>The EGU offers an open and widely recognized forum for discussing a wide range of scientific questions and conducting corresponding research. The impact of geosciences to society has probably never been as high as today. Therefore, we pursue broad and open-minded approaches to tackle important research topics, while simultaneously engaging in interdisciplinary collaborations for the benefit of humanity and our planet.</p> <p> <strong>Get involved! </strong></p> <p>Follow us on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/EGU-Seismology-Division/568814589863207?fref=ts">Facebook</a> and our <a href="https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/sm/">Seismoblog</a>!</p> <p>Sign up for the (low traffic) <a href="https://www.egu.eu/user-area/mailman/">seismo-Email list</a>.</p> <p>For current medal and award committees please see <a href="https://www.egu.eu/sm/awards-medals/committees/">Awards & medals committees</a> page.</p> <div class="headline"> <h2>Latest posts from the SM blog</h2> </div> <article class="media"> <img role="presentation" alt="" class="img-fluid img-thumbnail" src="https://www.egu.eu/media/news/blogmessages/2025/03/19/2a9047f0-482c-41b8-a459-9340c5005596.jpg.120x120_q90_crop-smart_upscale.webp" srcset="https://www.egu.eu/media/news/blogmessages/2025/03/19/2a9047f0-482c-41b8-a459-9340c5005596.jpg.120x120_q90_crop-smart_upscale.webp 1x, https://www.egu.eu/media/news/blogmessages/2025/03/19/2a9047f0-482c-41b8-a459-9340c5005596.jpg.240x240_q90_crop-smart_upscale.webp 2x" loading="lazy"> <div class="media-body"> <a class="h4 external" href="https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/sm/2025/03/19/earthquake-watch-santorini-amorgos-earthquake-swarms/">Earthquake Watch: Santorini-Amorgos earthquake swarms</a> <ul class="list-inline mt-1"> <li class="list-inline-item"><i class="fab fa-fw fa-wordpress"></i> <a class="external" href="https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/sm/">Seismology</a></li> <li class="list-inline-item"><i class="far fa-fw fa-calendar-plus"></i> posted 1 week ago</li> </ul> <p>For this Earthquake Watch we are very pleased to have a contribution about the 2025 Santorini – Amorgos seismic sequence, by Dr. Andreas Karakonstantis, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Patras and National and the Kapodistrian University of Athens. He obtained his Ph.D. in seismology in 2017. Does life move in circles?
