Description 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.
