Since early 2021, peculiar Volcano-Tectonic (VT) seismic sequences with very short inter-event times have become increasingly frequent and evident in the Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy), which has been experiencing a long-term unrest since 2005. During same period ground deformation (uplift), seismicity gas emission that characterize current showed an acceleration. Within this type of sequence, we identify burst-like swarms, characterized by so they are often not easily recognizable. Here show...
The Neapolitan volcanic area includes three active and high-risk volcanoes: Campi Flegrei caldera, Somma–Vesuvius, Ischia island. is a typical example of resurgent characterized by intense uplift periods followed subsidence phases (bradyseism). After about 21 years following the 1982–1984 unrest, new inflation period started in 2005 and, with increasing rates over time, ongoing. overall from to December 2019 65 cm. This paper provides history recent caldera unrest an overview ground...
Abstract Two paroxysmal explosions occurred at Stromboli volcano in the Summer 2019, first of which, on July 3, caused one fatality and some injuries. Within 56 days between two explosions, effusive activity from vents located summit area occurred. No significant changes routinely monitored parameters were detected before explosions. However, we have calculated polarization fractal dimension time series seismic signals November 15, 2018 to September 2019 recognized variations that preceded...

Muon Radiography allows to map the density of a volcanic cone. It is based on measurement attenuation flux muons present in cosmic radiation ground. The MU-RAY project has developed an innovative detector designed for muon radiography. main features are low electric power consumption, robustness and transportability, good spatial resolution time flight measurement. A 1 m2 prototype been constructed. collected data at Mt. Vesuvius approximately month spring 2013. second campaign performed Puy...
Somma-Vesuvius is known worldwide for the devastating Plinian eruption (79 AD) that destroyed Herculaneum and Pompeii. In this study provides an overview of ground deformation patterns Somma–Vesuvius volcano from continuous GNSS observations. 2000–2022 time span, series allowed accurate tracking displacements volcanic area.We processed data using Bernese software on a daily basis with IGS final orbits Earth rotation parameters. To obtain high-precision results, we all...
On February 27, 2007, the Stromboli volcano, which has usually been characterized by moderate explosive activity, started an effusive eruption with a small lava flow down NW flank. The permanent broadband network installed on island allowed revealing of anomalies in seismicity before and for phenomena to be followed over time, thus obtaining meaningful information about dynamics. During phase, major explosion occurred March 15, 2007. that occasion, two strainmeters deployed volcano previous...
Studying seismicity in a volcanic environment provides important information on the state of activity volcanoes. The Neapolitan volcanoes, Campi Flegrei, Vesuvius, and Ischia, shows distinctive characteristics for each volcano, covering wide range patterns types. In this study we relocated some significant volcano-tectonic earthquake swarms that occurred Flegrei Vesuvius. Moreover, compared occurrence evolution, magnitude seismic energy release three Also, considered results analysis light...
After a period of mild eruptive activity, Stromboli showed between 2017 and 2018 reawakening phase, with an increase in the activity starting May 2017. The alert level volcano was raised from “green” (base) to “yellow” (attention) on 7 December 2017, small lava overflowed crater rim 15 Between July August monitoring networks recorded nine major explosions, which are serious hazard for because they affect summit area, crowded by tourists. We studied 2017–2018 phase through analysis...

Muon radiography is a technique based on the measurement of absorption profiles muons as they pass through matter. This allows to obtain an image inner structure large volume objects and suitable be applied in several fields, such volcanology, archaeology civil engeneering. One main applications concerns study volcanic structures; indeed it possible use this measure mass distribution inside edifice volcano providing useful information better understand eruption mechanisms.

<p>We have analyzed the recent seismicity of Mt. Vesuvius, with particular emphasis on period 1999-2012. Since 1972 continuous observations electromagnetic seismometers allowed compilation a detailed earthquake catalogue for station OVO. Furthermore since 1999 another, more complete, BKE, closer to crater, is available. The Gutenberg-Richter distribution magnitudes shows temporal decrease b-value 1985, current values close 1.0. pattern strain release non-stationary behavior periods...

Abstract We propose a method for analyzing the polarization of three-component digital recordings using discrete wavelet transform (DWT). This allows automatic detection and separation seismic phases that have coherent linear or elliptical polarization. It can be correctly used in analysis signals relating to volcanic activity because they arise from complex wave field consists near-field far-field components frequency-dependent First, analytic extension signal is decomposed DWT, then each...
