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...
It is currently impractical to measure what happens in a volcano during an explosive eruption, and up now much of our knowledge depends on theoretical models. Here we show, by means large‐scale experiments, that the regime events can be constrained basis characteristics magma at point fragmentation conduit geometry. Our model, whose results are consistent with literature, simple tool for defining conditions exit control most hazardous volcanic regimes. Besides well‐known convective plume...
The purpose of this study is to analyze the surface temperature and distribution thermal signatures on Tuscany’s geothermal districts using data obtained through three separate surveys via satellite an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). analysis considers highest available spatial resolution ranging from hundreds meters per pixel images tenths/hundreds centimeters acquired by UAV. maps at suitable measurements camera installed UAV were orthorectified geocoded. This allowed, for example,...
Open conduit volcanoes like Stromboli can display elusive changes in activity before major eruptive events. Starting on December 2020, volcano displayed an increasing activity, that 19 May 2021 led to a crater-rim collapse, with pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) spread along the barren NW flank, entered sea and ran across it for more than 1 km. This episode was followed by lava flow output from crater rim lasting few hours, another phase of June 2021. These episodes are potentially very...
Abstract The structural setting of the Ischia resurgent caldera and its magmatic system has been investigated by a joint interpretation 3D inversion previously collected gravimetric data all available geological, geophysical petrological data. Starting from Bouguer gravity map Neapolitan volcanic area previous 2.5D modelling, selection on land offshore used to perform inversion, adapting merging basic ideas two already tested methods, detect isolated bodies layered discontinuities...
The aim of this study is to analyse problems related thermal mapping obtained from data acquired Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) equipped with cameras. We focused on an accurate analysis uncertainties introduced by the PIX4D Mapper software used obtain surface temperature maps images UAS. To achieve aim, we artificial reference during surveys, as well natural hot targets, i.e. anomalies in Pisciarelli hydrothermal system Campi Flegrei caldera (CFc). Artificial expressly created and designed...
Abstract This work arises from the field observations made during civil protection emergency period connected to 2007 Stromboli eruption. We observed changes in shallow feeding system of volcano which we give a volcanological interpretation and relative implications. Here describe processes that occurred upper end effusive eruption on 3 April renewal strombolian explosive activity at summit craters (30 June), interpreted using multidisciplinary data. used thermal camera data collected both...
Quiescent volcanoes dissipate a large part of their thermal energy through hot soils and ground degassing mainly in restricted areas called Diffuse Degassing Structures. La Solfatara crater represents the main spot release for Campi Flegrei volcano (Italy) despite its reduced dimensions with regards to whole caldera. The purpose this study was develop method measure extrapolating it from surface temperature. We used imaging cameras at short distances (1 m) obtain mapping anomalies...
Abstract Geothermal and volcanic systems are prone to gravity-induced slope instability at different scales. Endogenous magmatic, hydrothermal seismic forcings can significantly modify rock mass rheology perturb the local stress field gravitational equilibrium, inducing shallow or slope-scale processes. The island of Ischia, which is part Phlegrean Volcanic District (Italy), a remarkable example this kind complex interacting system. This study focuses on monitoring system located beneath...
Analysis of a series thermal mappings obtained by UAS flights on quiescent volcanoes requires some special techniques to be performed. The main challenge is represented the difficulty separating hot and cold pixels in areas where their temperatures are quite similar. This task indeed much simpler, for example, lava flows temperature differences between soil rather big. paper shows various software developed order perform this extraction calculate trends over time both average heat flux from...
On 10 September 2005 at 1711 LT (1511 UT) a loud boom was heard on the Ischia island. A clear seismic signal also recorded by monitoring network of Neapolitan volcanic areas (Ischia, Campi Flegrei, and Mount Vesuvius) regional station (Mount Massico). basis recordings acoustic phenomena reports, we relate this event to atmospheric explosion (airburst) bolide about 15 km SW an elevation 11.5 km. The location has been obtained through nonlinear traveltime inversion in realistic model including...
Assessing the variations in space and time of groundwater circulation volcanic islands is paramount importance to description hydro-geo-thermal system implementation hydrogeological, geochemical, monitoring systems.

Thermal camera use is becoming ever more widespread in volcanic and environmental research monitoring activities. Depending on the scope of an investigation type thermal used, different software for infrared (IR) images analysis employed. The Osservatorio Vesuviano Sezione Napoli Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV-OV) processes acquired during activities Neapolitan areas (Vesuvio, Ischia Campi Flegrei) with FLIR that returns each image, or selected area within a series...
