Objectives of the CRL School 2018

• • Gather students from various Greek and foreign universities working together at CRL and with different background

 

• • In the framework of EGU-GIFT and EDUMED, associate school teachers and high schools to the didactic program and activities

 

• • Discover the research performed in Geophysics and Geology in the Rift of Corinth

 

• • Learn more about SAR interferometry (SAR interferometry, the SENTINEL mission, the Geohazards Exploitation Platform (GEP) and its application to CRL)

 

• • Learn more about GPS (theory, measurements in the field)

 

• • Learn more about seismology (with didactic tools) and learn more about the seismicity in the Corinth Rift

 

• • Learn more about sea, sea level, tsunami, …

 

• • Go on board of a marine geophysics vessel

 

• Learn more about geotechical aspects of the seismic hazard in the area, the case of the Rio-Antirio bridge
