We provide a database of the coseismic geological surface effects following Mw 6.5 Norcia earthquake that hit central Italy on 30 October 2016. This was one strongest seismic events to occur in Europe past thirty years, causing complex ruptures over an area >400 km2. The originated from collaboration several European teams (Open EMERGEO Working Group; about 130 researchers) coordinated by Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia. observations were collected performing detailed field...
Abstract On 24 August 2016, a M w 6.0 normal‐faulting earthquake struck central Italy, causing about 300 fatalities and heavy damage. A geological survey collected the coseismic effects observed at surface in order to evaluate two competing hypotheses their nature: faulting versus gravitational deformation. We find that most significant effect is 5.2 km long alignment of ground ruptures along Mount Vettore Fault System. These are independent from lithology, topography, morphology, change...
<p>Since the beginning of ongoing Amatrice seismic sequence on August 24, 2016, initiated by a Mw 6.0 normal faulting earthquake, EMERGEO Working Group (an INGV team devoted to earthquake aftermath geological survey) set off investigate any coseismic effects natural environment. Up now, we surveyed about 750 km2 and collected more than 3200 observations as differently oriented tectonic fractures together with intermediate- small- sized landslides, that were mapped in whole area. The...
The gravitational instability of glowing volcaniclastics can lead to the formation deposit-derived pyroclastic density currents (PDCs). These flows mobilise volumes 10&#179; 10&#8311; m&#179;, travelling several kilometres from their source while maintaining extremely high temperatures, posing a significant risk nearby communities and visitors. Deposit-derived PDCs are typically formed by two primary mechanisms: (i) those driven magma thrust, resulting in collapse crater rims,...
As far as the European continent, Region Campania in Southern Italy presents an almost unique combination - terms of both variety and intensity-of potential risks for residents: this densely populated area is actually most notably exposed to hydrogeological (flood landslides), seismic, volcanic hazards In such a setting, alongside with up-to-date scientific approach analysis constant update emergency plans, it paramount importance that "risk awareness culture" should be developed by...
We present a 1:10,000 scale map of the coseismic surface ruptures following 26 December 2018 Mw 4.9 earthquake that struck eastern flank Mt. Etna volcano (southern Italy). Detailed rupture mapping is based on extensive field surveys in epicentral region. Despite small size event, we were able to document faulting for about 8 km along trace NNW-trending active Fiandaca Fault, belonging Timpe tectonic system volcano. The mapped are characterized most cases by perceivable opening and dominant...
Abstract Please click here to download the map associated with this article. Hazard and risk maps are tools for both mitigating against informing preparing general public. Recent studies have highlighted that volcanic hazard used during emergencies can be difficult interpret. Our research focuses on evaluating improving efficacy of currently available Stromboli volcano island (Italy) communication information. is an active characterised by persistent explosive activity, sporadic lava...
We provide a database of the surface ruptures produced by 26 December 2018 Mw 4.9 earthquake that struck eastern flank Mt. Etna volcano in Sicily (southern Italy). Despite its relatively small magnitude, this shallow caused about 8 km faulting, along trace NNW-trending active Fiandaca Fault. Detailed field surveys have been performed epicentral area to map and characterize their kinematics. The show dominant right-oblique sense displacement with an average slip 0.09 m maximum value 0.35 m....
Recent decades have highlighted the increasing need to connect and strengthen volcanology community at European level. Indeed, research in field is highly qualified Europe volcano monitoring infrastructures achieved valuable know-how, becoming state-of-the-art world. However, lack of common good practices sciences technologies, missing standards, as well a significant fragmentation requires coordination move forward guarantee trans-national harmonisation. The Plate Observing System (EPOS)...
Lahars, landslides and debris flows are rapid natural phenomena that can heavily impact on modify the environment, not only from which they triggered but also one in propagate or leave deposits. In particular, lahars reach significant runout distances source areas (e.g., several km) this mainly depend, among other factors, morphology experienced by such propagation. There cases recent history of occurrences impacted catastrophically rural urban settings, as for example at Nevado del Ruiz...
Abstract The Volcano Observations Thematic Core Service (VOLC-TCS) is one of ten core services forming the European Research Infrastructure Consortium for Plate Observing System (EPOS ERIC). main objective VOLC-TCS implementation a technical, financial, and legal framework compliant with EPOS ERIC to (i) strengthen volcanology community represented by Observatories (VOs) Volcanological Institutions (VRIs), (ii) provide virtual access community’s data, data products software (DDSSs) from...

Despite their protracted periods of inactivity, long-dormant volcanoes may be highly hazardous, as reactivation can characterized by violent explosive eruptions. An example such is the Colli Albani caldera, onto which deposits Rome Capital City built, Italy. Its last volcanic activity was voluminous maar-forming phreatomagmatic eruptions dated between 36 and 25ka, but volcano has produced several maar lake overflows during Holocene till historical times. Presently, affected recurrent seismic...
Volcanic crisis exercises are usually run to test response capabilities, communication protocols, and decision-making procedures by agencies with responsibilities cope scenarios of volcanic unrest inherent uncertainty, such as volcano observatories and/or civil protection authorities. During the last decades, use questionnaires has been increased evaluate people's knowledge on hazards their perception risk, better understand preparedness respond emergency measures plans.
