An international team of scientists has concluded the second phase of a major marine geophysical survey titled "ODISSEY" in the Ionian Sea, focusing on the fault lines that contribute to significant seismic activity in the region. This initiative is recognized as the largest marine geophysical survey ever conducted in Greek waters, involving prestigious scientific institutions from Europe, including the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
The ODISSEY mission, which took place in June 2026 near the Ionian Islands, aims to enhance understanding of the seismic behaviors that characterize one of the Mediterranean’s most earthquake-prone areas. Through this extensive survey, researchers are gathering vital data to better comprehend the seismic hazards in the Ionian region, which is essential for improving safety and preparedness against potential earthquakes. The findings from ODISSEY are expected to play a crucial role in earthquake research and risk assessment in the Mediterranean.
