New Data to Study Possible Dependencies of Ground Shaking on Weather and Climate

In July 2021, the Geophysics Laboratory of our Department participated in an expedition in Argostoli, Cephalonia, with colleagues from CEA Cadarache (FR), the Institute of Engineering Seismology and Earthquake Engineering (ITSAK) and Ionian University, with the aim to install a meteorological station and a soil moisture meter in the proximity of the ARGONET seismological infrastructure. ARGONET is a vertical array of accelerometers (i.e. one accelerometer at the ground surface and four more inside boreholes, at various depths down to the engineering bedrock at ~83m), installed in Koutavos park, that has been providing us, on a 24/7 basis, with excellent earthquake data to be used in studies of soil behavior during ...
