Untitled 1

We should name the geophysics professor we are quoting. I found a name in a newspaper, via google. Professor Papazachos Constantinos is currently Director of the Geophysical Laboratory, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Do we have any reliable sources saying that he is the geophysics professor being quoted? 80.195.221.201 (talk) 12:56, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is 1 I will find more sources to verify in the meantime. Thx. --Dora the Axe-plorer (Nopen't) 02:39, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Intensity

Sorry, but the intesity provided by USGS seems to be wrong about the most heavily damaged region (Arkalochori) - giving it as a V in Merkalli scale, as it has placed the epicentre about 10 miles north of the epicentre given by EMSC and UoA. There are estimates that 80% of the buildings in Arkalochori, including well built ones, have some damage,[1] and there were documented on location accelerations over 0.5 g [2]. I suggest to remove the intesity info based on the USGS estimations. --C messier (talk) 20:09, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have revised the MMI values based on the ITSAK instrumental recordings to VIII [3]. The pga provided in the link you've sent also came from the ITSAK so we'll follow that bcuz of the consistency. The USGS intensity is the least accurate because it is system-generated. Dora the Axe-plorer (Nopen't) 23:39, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to avoid confusion

Now that we have an article on the 2021 Lasithi earthquake, also in Crete in 2021, I think that we should find an alternative name for this one, perhaps as the 2021 Heraklion earthquake, which currently redirects to this article. Mikenorton (talk) 20:05, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Will move to 2021 Arkalochori earthquake to follow the Greek version. It seems like Arkalochori is the most affected as well. --Dora the Axe-plorer (Nopen't) 02:39, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
