Participate at the analysis of the recordings of the permanent telemetry network of the central Seismological Station of Thessaloniki for 7-day and weekly periods (In duty for the daily monitoring of the seismicity, earthquake location and magnitude estimation). Contact with the public, state and press. Daily routine check for the proper operation of the recording and digitizing system.
