Ground Thermal and Land Surface Temperature of the Volcanic Island Nea Kameni (Greece).
Summary:
The purpose of this thesis is to present into maps the thermography of the volcanic island Nea Kameni. This had been succeeded by ground thermal and land surface measurements of the temperature, in combination with satellite images (Landsat 5 and Landsat 8 data). The area’s volcanic activity, combined with the precursor volcanic phenomena observed a few years ago (2011-2012), makes it particularly interesting to study the surface thermography under normal conditions. The study had been conducted with remote sensing and with GIS for the data processing. Field measurements had also taken place, with metal plate sensors, measuring ground and air humidity, and infrared thermometers. The field measurements can capture local variations in temperatures in different formations and around fumaroles in much better detail than the satellite image grid (30 or 100m). Then, the field data had been correlated with the data from the satellite images, and conclusions had been drawn about the correlation of temperature with weather conditions and volcanic activity.
