Volcanologist and co-chief on IODP Expedition 398 to deep-drill at Christiana- Santorini-Kolumbo.
The Kos Plateau Tuff eruption of the Kos Volcano 161,000 years ago poured pyroclastic flows into the Aegean Sea. IODP #exp398 found the submarine products of the eruption 200 to 300 m thick, 140 km away from source NE of Santorini.

Submarine ash megabed fed by far-traveled, shoreline-crossing pyroclastic currents from a large explosive volcanic eruption
Volcanic ash from an eruption in Greece poured into the sea, forming a bed 200 m thick in a submarine basin far from the volcano.

Expedition 398 E&O Officer Susan just published a book on the amazing cores we drilled in and around Santorini.
It's great for anyone (layperson to expert) who wants to learn about these stunning cores.

IODP Expedition 398 'Hellenic Arc Volcanic Field' measured the sub-seafloor thermal gradient NE of Santorini. Michael Manga and colleagues explain why it was unexpectedly low.
