Post-eruptive flooding of Santorini caldera and implications for tsunami generation

The Bronze Age eruption of Santorini is known to have generated tsunamis with caldera collapse as the likely mechanism. However, new bathymetric and seismic data presented by Nomikou et al. show that the entry of pyroclastic flows into the sea is the most likely tsunami-generating mechanism at Santo...

Sumario:The Bronze Age eruption of Santorini is known to have generated tsunamis with caldera collapse as the likely mechanism.
