Calculations based on the seismic entropy method (ITU) show that a strong earthquake is possible in the coming months in southeastern Greece in the Aegean Sea.
Seismic activity is growing in this region and a strong earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 may occur here in the coming months (from May to July).
The ITU allows for a unified model to take into account recent seismic activity (seismic swarm from January 25 to February 6) and earthquakes from May 13, M=6.0, and May 22., M=6.2, 2025 in the Aegean Sea.
The Greek islands of Karpathos, Rhodes, and Crete fall into the danger zone. The expected earthquake may trigger a tsunami, dangerous for O. Crete and the Aegean coast in western Turkey. The increase in seismic activity can be traced using our Geoquake Application, developed on the basis of ITU.
The increasing number of sensitive earthquakes with magnitudes in the 6.0-6.5 region may serve as a possible harbinger of a powerful earthquake. Given the popularity of the Greek islands among tourists, the scale of a possible disaster could be critical.
Geoquake is an application based on innovative technology for global earthquake monitoring and forecasting. It is designed to provide users with information about seismic hazards in real time. Users have the opportunity to prepare themselves in advance for a possible strong earthquake, be vigilant, and protect themselves and their loved ones.
