Join Beverly to explore why in 2025 thousands of earthquakes, or tremors, struck Santorini and the surrounding area between the islands of Santorini and Amorgos. This was caused by magma moving horizontially through the Earth’s crust and not by typical plate movement on tectonic faluts. Things have calmed down for now, but a major eruption is a definite possibility!
Beverly blends archaeology, geology and anthropology to explore the complex ways nature and humans interact on coastlines. Her work concentrates on the causes and effects of ancient environmental events like tsunamis and floods in an attempt to better understand what risks are present today and how broader climate-linked trends, such as sea-level change and fluctuations in precipitation, can be recognized in the sedimentary record.
