Abstract
There now follows a synthesis of the main results of this study. We interpret the observations in terms of the interplay between magmatic, tectonic and volcanic processes and place these processes within a global context. Santorini has displayed a wide variety of igneous and volcanic phenomena over a period of at least 650 000 years of almost continuous and focused volcanism. Perhaps the most intriguing issues are the causes of volcanic and magmatic cyclicity, the secular variations in magma composition and the way in which magmatic processes have influenced the style of volcanism.
