Flank instability at Mt. Etna
Due to their constant and relatively rapid growth, volcanic edifices are inherently unstable. Flank instability is observed at many polygenetic stratovolcanoes, composite volcanoes and shield volcanoes worldwide. Flank instability may occur suddenly, or develop in a more continuous and subtle way, accelerated by triggering events (magma emplacement, eruptions and earthquakes). Destabilization i...
متن کاملMonitoring and forecasting Etna volcanic plumes
In this paper we describe the results of a project ongoing at the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV). The objective is to develop and implement a system for monitoring and forecasting volcanic plumes of Etna. Monitoring is based at present by multispectral infrared measurements from the Spin Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager on board the Meteosat Second Generation geosynch...
متن کاملTime-resolved seismic tomography detects magma intrusions at Mount Etna.
The continuous volcanic and seismic activity at Mount Etna makes this volcano an important laboratory for seismological and geophysical studies. We used repeated three-dimensional tomography to detect variations in elastic parameters during different volcanic cycles, before and during the October 2002-January 2003 flank eruption. Well-defined anomalous low P- to S-wave velocity ratio volumes we...
متن کاملSeismic footprints of shallow dyke propagation at Etna, Italy
One of the key issues in forecasting volcanic eruptions is to detect signals that can track the propagation of dykes towards the surface. Continuous monitoring of active volcanoes helps significantly in achieving this goal. The seismic data presented here are unique, as they document surface faulting processes close (tens to a few hundred meters) to their source, namely the dyke tip. They origi...
متن کاملThe iron-catalysed surface reactivity and health-pertinent physical characteristics of explosive volcanic ash from Mt. Etna, Italy
Mount Etna is Europe’s largest and most active volcano. In recent years, it has displayed enhanced explosive activity, causing concern amongst local inhabitants who frequently have to live with, and clean up, substantial ashfall. Basaltic volcanic ash is generally considered unlikely to be a respiratory health hazard due to its often coarse nature (with few particles sub-10 μm diameter) and lac...
