CRL School 2017

Objectives of the school

  • Gather students from various universities working together at CRL and with different background
  • 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 GEP-TEP 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
  • 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
