Here we present a Monte Carlo simulation of a muographic campaign on Methana volcano, Greece. In order to estimate the absorption parameters and the pattern of muon scattering at various incident energies (GeV to TeV), a radar-derived digital terrain model (DTM) was submitted to irradiation by horizontal muons in Geant4 and the penetrating muons were collected by a hypothetical MicroMegas particle detector on the other side of the DTM. Monte Carlo simulation demonstrated that muon energies at least as high as 10 TeV are required for whole-scale radiography of Methana and one has to reduce the scale of study to smaller structures (e.g. ~ 600 m - wide volcanic domes) in order to exploit the more affluent lower energy muons (~ 600 GeV). Coulomb scattering, on the other hand, brings about deflection of muon trajectories away from the detector, resulting in loss of information. Additionally, scattering adds Gaussian blurring to the scanned objects. With the intention of improving contrast and extract objects in muographic image we recommend the use of spatial operators (filters) employed in image analysis.

“…The Methana peninsula is composed mainly of Late Pliocene-Pleistocene, arc-related andesitic and dacitic volcanic rocks (Fytikas, 1988;Gaitanakis & Dietrich, 1995;Pe, 1974;Pe-Piper & Piper, 2005). Recently, eight volcanic phases (A to H) have been distinguished from Pe-Piper and Piper (2013). The most recent volcanic rocks were reported in Kammeni Hora (or Kameno Vouno), dated at 0.2 ± 0.3 Ma (Matsuda, Senoh, Maruoka, Sato, & Mitropoulos, 1999).…”

“…Post volcanic activity, as manifested by geothermal springs, has been spotted mainly at the eastern and the northern part of the Methana Peninsula (D'Alessandro et al, 2008). According to Pe-Piper and Piper (2013), Pliocene volcanism is mainly emplaced along N-S striking listric faults during E-W extension. The initiation of NE-SW crustal scale strike-slip faults in the early Pleistocene, related to the collision of the Aegean microplate with the Libyan promontory, is linked with explosive volcanism and the least evolved rocks on the Methana Peninsula.…”

High-resolution swath-bathymetry has been acquired during recent surveys in Saronikos Gulf, near the densely populated city of Athens. This paper presents the first detailed bathymetric map, at a scale of 1:12,000, of the active Submarine Pausanias Volcanic Field located offshore NW Methana Peninsula in Saronikos Gulf, Aegean Sea (Main Map). Rugged morphology characterizes the volcanic field that includes mainly cone-shaped features. Six volcanic outcrops, covering an area of about 12 km 2 , have been morpho-bathymetrically outlined, and their sub-bottom character has been described by the integration of 2D seismic reflection profiles. Two groups of outcrops have been distinguished. An older group comprising more complex, erosional-shaped outcrops, and a younger group consisting of sub-conical outcrops. Both groups have been morphologically correlated to their onshore equivalents in the adjacent peninsula of Methana. Despite the active tectonic regime of the region, no evidence of mass transport-related features have been observed.

“…In the third tab, the volcanic evolution of the Methana peninsula is presented ( Figure 12). Narrative text describes the eight evolutionary volcanic phases which have been proposed by Pe-Piper and Piper [30], taking into account new radiometric dating and by interpreting and composing all the old data. A Time Aware application is embedded in the main frame.…”

Story maps are used as an interactive tool for communication and information dissemination. A web-based application using story mapping technology is presented to explore the Methana peninsula. This volcanic area is characterized by specific volcanic geoforms, unique flora and rich history. The story map combines maps, narrative texts and multimedia content. The spatial data produce thematic maps created by a Geographic Information System on geological data, historical monuments, biodiversity and hiking paths. The purpose is to highlight the distinguishing characteristics of the Methana peninsula, to enable users to interact with maps, texts and images and to inform professional and non-professional users about the particular aspects of volcanic areas.
