	abstract = {<div>part and the Karvouni mountain in the central part. The Geology of Samos consists of a\&nbsp;metamorphic substratum, a non metamorphic unit, neogene and quaternary sediments. This\&nbsp;island has been affected many times by natural hazards, such as forest fires, soil erosion, flash\&nbsp;floods and gravity movements. The aim of this paper is to create an erosion risk map of\&nbsp;Samos Island. This has been achieved by a series of separate stages, such as the creation of a\&nbsp;database of geological, geomorphological and topographic data, extensive field observations\&nbsp;and analyses of aerial photos and satellite images, within a GIS based platform. The final step\&nbsp;involves the application of a functional relationship based on a probability model to input data\&nbsp;consisting of the lithology, slope, mean altitude, and the vegetation-land use for each drainage\&nbsp;basin to produce the final erosion risk map.</div>},
