This book is a collection of 22 selected papers from the homonymous
Conference held in September 2003 Milos, Greece. The aim of the
conference was to serve as a forum for the presentation and
constructive discussion of the state-of-the-art and emerging issues
on the South Aegean Volcanic Arc.
In the first part of the book the tectonic- geodynamic setting and
the present upper mantle structure of the Aegean area are
discussed. It includes an interesting interpretation of data on the
spatial distribution of intermediate focal depth earthquakes, fault
plane solutions and deep velocity structures, to further
investigate active tectonics related to the deep structure of the
southern Aegean volcanic arc.
The second part deals with general volcanological, petrological and
tectonic characteristics of the SAAVA presenting an extensive
review of volcanological, chemical, isotope and tectonic data,
using a large amount of new field and laboratory data. Interesting
conclusions are presented regarding the present volcanic
associations, the volcanic fields location and shape in respect to
the large tectonic lineaments and the plate motions, the source of
the SAAVA parental magmas.
Presented in the third part is an extensive review on the volcanic
hazard assessment and the monitoring state of the SAAVA centers.
Seismic and geodetic monitoring of the Santorini volcano and the
recent (1995-1998) crisis of Nisyros volcano are presented and
discussed.
The last part deals with hydrothermal deposits and processes in the
SAAVA, as well as products and processes in adjacent areas with a
particular interest and significance that link them to the SAAVA
processes.
*Systematic re-evaluation on the geodynamic and tectonic setting of
the Aegean active volcanic centers
*Thorough review with new data and ideas on the magma source
region, the magma differentiation processes in both the deep and
shallow levels, and the volcanological processes related both to
the magma composition and storage depth as well as to the tectonic
regime of the volcano growth area
*Up to date estimation of the volcanic hazard in the Aegean area,
and a detailed presentation of the present state and the monitoring
efforts of the South Aegean active centers
