National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA)
Role in TRANSFORM2
NKUA is primarily involved in WP3, leading Task 3.3 (Earthquake characterisation: focal mechanisms, CMTs, finite faults), mainly focused on the determination of focal mechanisms for weak events by utilizing the enhanced picks output of Task 3.1, and introducing first motion polarity characterizations, S-wave polarization directions, obtained after correction for seismic anisotropy, and S-to-P amplitude ratio measurements.
NKUA is also responsible for the event association subtask of Task 3.1. NKUA is also actively involved in WP4, leading Task 4.4 (Bringing Earthquake Early Warning Capacity at not-yet ready NFOs), which includes EEW feasibility studies that will be performed for the CRL and likely other not-yet EEW-ready NFOs, in order to understand the capacity of the current networks to provide EEW and define specific requirements to turn them into EEW-ready NFOs. In the framework of this Task, NKUA will deploy 10 low-cost EEW-optimized seismological stations at the CRL NFO. NKUA also participates in Task 2.4 (High precision geodetic sensors) of WP2, concerning the development and testing of novel GNSS receivers. In WP5, NKUA will mainly focus on establishing the new methodologies and workflows at the CRL NFO.
