A new, EU-funded seismological station has opened in the northern part of Zakynthos island (Zante) in western Greece, at the village of Volimes.
According to the state news agency, the station was funded through the "Interreg, Greece-Italy 2007-2013" business programme and connected to the network of the Geodynamic Institute at the National Observatory of Athens which records seismic activity throughout Greece.
The station was a project of the Otrions programme, which relates to the observation of seismic phenomena and tsunamis in Greece and Italy. Collaborators include the Regional Association of Municipalities, the Geodynamic Institute, and the Geophysics Department at the Aristotelian University of Thessaloniki.
