Earthquake Red Alert! Parameter 2: The topic is interesting for students since the idea of an earthquake occurring usually scares all people and related to everyday life. The title shows the need for urgent protection without presenting abstract concepts. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 665100.

Hello I’m Maria and I am working at the department of seismology in Cyprus as a seismologist. An earthquake is a sudden and violent shaking of the ground, caused when two blocks or rock or tow plates are rubbings against each other. Sometimes an earthquake has foreshocks. These are smaller earthquakes that occur in the same place as the larger earthquake that follows

My work includes: Maintenance and operation of the seismological network in Cyprus (9 outdoor seismic stations and 2 underwater) Continuous monitoring and evaluation of seismic activity in the wider region of Cyprus (about 2,000 earthquakes a year) Specific procedures in case of a sensible earthquake Dissemination of information related to earthquakes to the public via the social media, articles and face to face presentations. Participation in research projects about seismology issues and geo-risks Cooperation with international seismology research centers.

Required knowledge and skills Knowledge of physics, geophysical topics (theory of elasticity and elastic waves, seismometry, seismology etc.) and IT skills is a must in order to work as a seismologist. You always have to think methodically!

The most important thing about my work is the monitoring and evaluation of the seismic activities.

The seismologist’s concern.. The frequency of earthquakes is a local and global issue. Earthquakes can be induced by natural causes or by humans. Reflect on the poster
