EERI Quick Quake Briefing: M7.0 Samos Island (Offshore Greece and Turkey) Earthquake October 30, 2020

Tuesday, August 24, 1:00pm - 2:30pm (EDT)

Time shown in-04:00 America, New York

The EERI Northern California Regional Chapter and the EERI Learning from Earthquakes Program are co-hosting a FREE webinar on the M7.0 Samos Island earthquake that struck on October 30, 2020 in the Aegean Sea between Turkey and Greece.

The quake caused significant damage and left many dead in both Turkey and Greece from collapsed buildings and tsunami waves. The earthquake triggered a tsunami that flooded coastal areas in Turkey and Samos Island. The worst effects were in western Turkey, particularly in the city of Izmir, where over 4 million people live some 40 miles from the epicenter. The epicenter was located in disputed waters between Turkey and Greece, and as a consequence, the area had not been well-surveyed in a seismological sense. In the aftermath of the earthquake, leaders of both countries expressed the need for future cooperation—”whatever our differences, these are times when our people need to stand together.” The briefing will also discuss joint Greece/Turkey research in the aftermath of the earthquake.
