Decoupling between longterm geological processes and human life does not allow scientsts to have direct connecton with tmescales of phenomena related to plate tectonics. This is the reason why, albeit widely accepted all over the world, plate tectonics is stll a model and not an axiom of Earth Sciences. Scientsts watch only a snapshot of a millionyearsscaled sequence of events. This is the case of midocean ridges, which are the final result of contnental drifing and magma output at divergent plate boundaries lastng tentohundreds of millions of years. In additon to the temporal issue, in most cases, the transiton from contnental rifing to seafloor spreading is difficult to be studied, as most of these systems are submarine. The East African Rif (EAR) offers the unique opportunity to have a glance on such longtme processes, as rifing is progressively propagatng from the Afar triple juncton to the south, through the Main Ethiopian Rif (MER) and the Kenya Rif. Volcanism along MER extends for thousands of kilometers, with a decreasing frequency from the Afar depression toward its southern part, mainly due to an increasing rigid behavior of lithosphere and, hence, a higher difficulty for magmas to reach the surface. Volcanic and tectonic manifestatons in the Northern Main Ethiopian Rif (NMER) are spatally clustered into four én échelon magmatotectonic segments, each one characterized by the occurrence of a central silicic volcano in the intermediate part and of tenstohundreds of basaltc monogenetc scoria cones (MSC) and associated minor lava flows. A new geological survey and sampling of volcanic products in the Northern Main Ethiopian Rif (NMER) led us to discover the first rifing episode in the area, which occurred around the 1810 CE across the Fantale and Boset volcanoes. The rifing episode developed through a system of énéchelon eruptve fissures (EF) distributed over 711 km and with orientaton comparable to the Wonji Fault Belt. The EF basaltc lavas preserve the same petrographic and geochemical characteristcs throughout the NMER. Indeed, they are almost aphyric and bear the typical high
Ti signature (TiO2 > 3.5 wt.%) of other volcanic products in the area. Central volcanoes and EF are at the center of each tectonomagmatc segment, whereas tenstohundreds monogenetc scoria cones (MSC) populate the external portons of the NMER. MSC basaltc tephra are plagioclasedominated, with a total content of phenocrysts around 30 vol.%. PRIMELT3 and RhyoliteMELTS simulatons highlighted that both EF and MSC volcanic products have the same parental magma. Afer storage at the Moho level (1923 km of depth), EF and MSC magmas encountered, however, distnct differentaton and ascent dynamics. EF magmas underwent deep fractonaton of mafic phases and reached rapidly the surface, conditons that lead us to infer a mechanism of magmaassisted rifing for these episodes. Conversely, afer deep fractonaton of mafic phases, MSC magmas have evidence of further storage and crystallizaton histories at 10 14 km of depth. From this storage zone, single magma batches can rise either through already existng fractures/faults or newly formed, deep faults associated to the Wonji Fault Belt. 27 28 MISCELLANEA INGV n. 52 segment. diking/rifing events are especially expected inthecentral area of eachtectonomagmatc already ongoing, which meansthat theprocess cannolonger beconsidered incipient andother rate through tme.Our findingsreveal that theprocess of contnental breakup intheNMERis trends of thedifferentaton andascent dynamicsprimarily dependontheincreasing extensional extension, whereas MSCinthosesegments with lower rates.

The relatonships between volcanic actvity and tectonics at the southernmost terminaton of the Main Ethiopian Rif (MER), East Africa, are presented and discussed to define the evoluton of rifing. We provide new constraints on the tming, evoluton and characteristcs of the poorly documented volcanic actvity of the Mega and DiloDukana volcanic fields (VF), near the Kenya Ethiopia border. The new data delineate the occurrence of two distnct groups of volcanic rocks: subalkaline basalts, observed only in the DiloDukana VF, forming a lava basement during Pliocene then faulted during a significant rifing phase; alkaline basalts, occurring in the two volcanic fields as pyroclastc products and lava flows from scatered Quaternary monogenetc edifices, which postdated the rifing phase and sealed the rifrelated faults. 40Ar/39Ar datng constrain the emplacement tme of the large basal lava plateau to ~3.7 Ma, whereas the youngest volcanic actvity characterizing the two areas dates back to 134 ka for DiloDukana, to as recent as the Holocene for Mega VF. We investgated the Quaternary volcanic actvity of the study area by characterizing the different types of volcanoes, their morphology and spatal distributon. In contrast with other sectors of the rif, we find that this recent volcanism developed along tectonic lineaments independent from those of the rif: our analysis indicates no direct relatons between the Pliocene, roughly NStrending major boundary faults of the Ririba rif and the NESWoriented structures feeding the Quaternary volcanic actvity. We speculate that this change in structural trend may be the expression of (1) inherited crustal structures affectng the distributon of the recent volcanic vents, and (2) a local stress field controlled by differences in crustal thickness, following a major episode of reorganizaton of extensional structures in the region due to rif propagaton and abandonment.

Mt. Etna lies along the Ionian coast of Sicily in a complex geodynamic setng, where the front of the African vs European plates’ collisional belt overlaps the Hyblean contnental foreland crustal block. The Mt. Etna area is affected by strikeslip tectonics, characterized by different shear zones [Fireto Carlino et al., 2019]. Their actvity and mutual interacton led to the formaton of local releasing zones, which favored the emplacement of deep magmatc intrusive bodies and PlioQuaternary scatered volcanics. Transtensive structures were lately inverted, as evidenced by pushup structures identfied offshore the SE porton of the volcano, resultng in the overall tmespace migraton of the volcanic centres. Strikeslip tectonics locally led to the formaton of shallow neotectonic features along the eastern flank of the volcano (both on and offshore), controlling the eastward gravitatonal sliding and producing important seismicity. The available dataset used for this work is composed of a dense set of highresoluton mult channel seismic reflecton, magnetc and gravity data, acquired offshore Mt. Etna during 2014 within the TOMOETNA experiment [Coltelli et al., 2016]. The dataset is integrated with high resoluton bathymetric data, ROV images, seafloor samples and other single and multchannel seismic reflecton profiles [Chiocci et al., 2011; Mazzarini et al., 2017]. The main goals of this work are to further improve the understanding of the relatonship between tectonics and volcanism, and to beter characterize the geodynamic asset of Mt. Etna region, specifically focusing on the northern offshore region, which needs to be beter detailed. Bathymetric and seismic reflecton data revealed that the contnental margin offshore Mt. Etna presents a large and uneven bulge, characterized by horsts and grabens, pertaining to the Hyblean foreland domain. These structures are bounded by NNWSSE and NESW lineaments, related to the Malta Escarpment and the foreland flexure beneath the thrust belt, respectvely. To the south, the bulge is characterized by the Timpe Plateau, a rhombohedral Hyblean horst, which shows no evidence of alloctonous nappes related to the Sicilian ApenninicMaghrebian foldandthrust belt. It is strongly affected by strikeslip tectonics, highlighted by a large, wedge shaped transpressive pushup, developing along the WNWESE trending Aci Trezza Lineament [Fireto Carlino et al., 2019]. The northern porton of the bulge is indeed characterized by the Riposto Ridge (RR), a roughly EW trending morphostructural high, extending from the FiumefreddoTorre Archirafi coast down to the bathyal plain (1800 m bsl). RR flanks are strongly eroded by a dense network of gullies and canyons, suggestng a longlastng erosive actvity. The RR shows a high degree of deformaton, due to local pushuplike morphostructures, which suggest the occurrence of strikeslip tectonics. This deformaton may also favored diffuse gravitatonal instability observed especially along the deepest porton of RR [Argnani et al., 2013]. In addicton, we found evidence of alloctonous nappes of foldandthrustbelt in the RR area. The shallow extent of the RR is dissected by a NESW trending extensional fault system, representng the offshore contnuaton of the coastal faults, which also influence the seaward gravitatonal sliding of the lower Etna eastern flank. This fault system seems to control the sinuous path of the Riposto Canyon, which deeply cut the nearshore porton of the RR. It 31 32 MISCELLANEA INGV n. 52 also intheRRarea.

The cumulatve number of earthquakes and related magnitudes, occurring within a certain tme interval, are arranged along a loglinear trend, following the Gutenberg and Richter Frequency MagnitudeDistributon (FMD). The slope of the straight line which beter fits the FMD is defined as bvalue and describes the average size distributon of earthquakes. bvalue is typically equal to nearly one on a global scale; temporal and spatal variaton of b has shown to document changes in the relevant stress conditons [e.g. Gulia and Wiemer, 2019 and references therein], highlightng crustal regions where the producton of small earthquakes is statstcally higher or lower than the average. Thus, crustal regions showing bvalues much less than one are characterized by statstcally reduced numbers of smallenergy seismic events, reflectng possible asperites or stress concentraton zones [Wiemer and Wyss, 1997], perhaps linked to variatons in frictonal propertes along a fault. Instead, values of b significantly higher than one, generally characterizing specific regions in volcanic areas, are thought to reflect the local increasing density of smaller faults and cracks around actve magma chambers and fluid filled fractures at depth [Murru et al., 2007], resultng in the reducton in shear strength on cracks and fault surfaces, with the consequent preferental producton of small seismic events. Since 2005, the number of statons of the seismic network of eastern Sicily significantly increased, and threecomponent broadband seismometers, with digital recording systems, were also employed; this resulted in improved accuracy in earthquake localizaton and in the use of the local Magnitude for earthquakesize estmaton. The above characteristcs strengthen the reliability of bvalue calculaton since the seismic catalogue afer 2005 is certainly characterized by a lower and more accurate completeness Magnitude. We analyzed the temporal and spatal variaton of b in the Etna area, using a seismic catalogue which includes nearly 10.000 earthquakes occurred between 2005 and 2018. The aim of the study is to highlight high bvalue regions, which may reflect the occurrence of actve magma storages at depth, and to investgate eventual precursor of volcanic and seismic actvity by analyzing the temporal variaton of b.

Majortrace elements and SrNdPbB isotopes were measured in samples from a collecton of rocks erupted by El Reventador, Sumaco and Cerro Negro volcanoes, located in the reararc zone of the Ecuadorian Andes (Northern Volcanic Zone NVZ). Despite being located at the same distance from the trench (~350 km), and only ~30 km far from each other, magmas erupted from these three volcanoes (NS aligned), exhibit different majortrace element compositons and isotopic signatures. The products of El Reventador actve volcano (the northernmost one) are mainly represented by porphyritc lavas, ranging from basalt to rhyolite, with basaltcandesite and andesite being the most abundant. They belong to the mediumK to highK calcalkaline series, characterized by higher 87Sr/86Sr and lower 143Nd/144Nd with respect to those of Sumaco (the southernmost one) but well within the SrNd isotopic range of the Ecuadorian NVZ [Ancellin et al., 2017; Gutscher et al., 1999]. Extrusives of the actve to semiactve Sumaco volcano consist of highK alkaline, markedly
SiO2undersaturated (ofen with modal feldspathoids) rocks ranging from basanite to phonolite. The overall geochemistry of the samples is very different from that observed for most volcanoes of the NVZ. The narrow range of SrNd isotope compositons and the major and trace elements distributons indicate that, besides relatvely lowdegree of partal meltng of the mantle source, the Sumaco magmas differentated mainly through crystal fractonaton with probably small contributon of crustal contaminaton, in accordance with the thick (>50 km) and old (Precambrian) contnental lithosphere beneath the volcanic edifice. Cerro Negro (a semidormant to dormant volcano), geographically located between the Sumaco and El Reventador is characterized by trachybasalts to trachydacites of the highK calcalkaline series and show geochemical features which partally overlap those of the other two volcanoes. The SrNd isotope ratos show a quite large variaton range (i.e. 87Sr/86Sr =0.70530.7070 and 143Nd/144Nd = 0.51240.5128) and an anomalous negatve correlaton. Although El Reventador, Cerro Negro and Sumaco volcanic products show the typical NbTaTi negatve anomaly as the result of the common subductonrelated environment, they exhibit, completely different modal mineralogy and trace element geochemistry. Small enrichment in incompatble trace elements with silica increase are typical of El Reventador lavas, especially for LREE (e.g. La, Ce). By contrast, the Sumaco lavas are strongly enriched in all incompatble elements and show very low values of LILE/HFSE and LILE/REE ratos (e.g. Ba/Nb and Ba/La). Products of Cerro Negro distnctly cover the compositonal gap which is present between El Reventador and Sumaco for LREEs abundances and LILE/HFSE and LILE/REE ratos. 35 36 MISCELLANEA INGV n. 52 represent thetrait d’unionbetween thetwo other volcanoes. and Bisotopic analyses are ongoing) which isjustlocated inatransitonal environment could and high11B)isinvoked assignificant agent of mantle wedge metasomatsm.

Seismic and geodetc momentrates comparison can reveal regions with unexpected potental seismic hazard. Sicily Channel represents a region with a potentally moderate seismic hazard, due to the occurrence, in the recent past, of volcanic eruptons sometmes accompanied by significant seismic swarms. By using both historical and instrumental seismic catalogs as well as an update geodetc velocity field we performed such a comparison for the Sicily Channel area. The Sicily Channel is part of the Pelagian block, a contnental crustal porton of the African contnental margin which extends from Tunisia to eastern Sicily and is separated from the Ionian Basin by HybleanMaltese Escarpment Fault System. The evoluton of the Pelagian block has been strongly influenced by the complex interacton between the Nubia and Eurasian plates. Since late Miocene, and mostly during the Pliocene, the Sicily Channel has been affected by extensional tectonic processes which leaded to the development of tectonic depressions (e.g. Pantelleria, Linosa and Malta troughs). These depressions have been interpreted as large and discrete pullapart basins involving deep crustal levels that developed in front of the Africa Eurasia collisional belt within a large dextral wrench zone. To investgate the seismic characteristcs of the Sicily Channel, we considered the instrumental seismicity using earthquake data recorded during the period 19832018 by the INGV permanent seismic network [htp://iside.rm.ingv.it]. We selected a NWSE oriented sector with approximate coordinates of vertces: Lat. 37.00 Long. 10.00, Lat. 38.60 Long. 11.55, Lat. 35.68 Long. 16.60, Lat. 33.73 Long. 14.91. The earthquake distributon highlights that seismicity is scant and mainly concentrated along a broad NS elongated tectonic lineament, extending from Lampedusa Island to the Graham Bank, which marks the segmentaton of the extensional Sicily Channel system into two separate branches. We calculated the seismic momentrate according to the [Hyndman and Weichert, 1983] formulaton, which was obtained by integratng the cumulatve truncated GutenbergRichter distributon up to the maximum magnitude value that could occur within our study zone. As the largest earthquake striking the investgated area had an estmated magnitude equal to 5.1, following [Kijko and Graham, 1998] and [Kijko and Singh, 2011], we assumed a value of 5.6 as possible maximum magnitude. Estmated seismic momentrate is 3.32·1016 Nm/yr. All contnuous GPS statons installed across the Sicily Channel as well as the ones on southern Sicilian onshore (2001.02018.0 tme interval) have been processed by using the GAMIT/GLOBK sofware packages. Afer estmatng the GPS velocites (referred to a fixed Eurasian reference frame), we computed the geodetc horizontal strainrate tensor on a regular 0.25° x 0.25° grid. The western sector is dominated by a prevailing contractonal field with the minimum deformaton axes having a WE attude in area comprises between Pantelleria and SW Sicily, and a WNWESE attude in area comprises between Pantelleria and Lampedusa. The eastern sector is dominated by a prevailing extensional field with the maximum deformaton axes aligned to the NESW directon, coupled with a minor contracton with the minimum deformaton axes having a NWSE attude. For the area of study, we calculated the geodetc momentrate 37 38 MISCELLANEA INGV n. 52 momentrate is8.95·10 and 20kmfor rocks shear modulusandseismogenic thickness,respectvely.

In a volcano, seismic events can be related to multple processes, such as britle fracture, fluid flow, mass transport and volumetric changes. Therefore, seismic signal analysis and an adequate characterizaton of the seismic source is usually performed to monitor its actvity and to provide a reliable understanding of its internal processes. The earthquake source can be successfully studied through the seismic moment tensor computaton, which also provides additonal hints about nondouble couple components of the actng forces. However, this kind of measurement in a volcanic environment is a difficult task due to the complexites of the structural model, to the wave propagaton effects and to the presence of noise in the data. On December 24, 2018 an intense seismic sequence preceded and accompanied the beginning of a flank erupton at Mt. Etna volcano (Italy). The relevant seismicity and the large ground deformaton [Bonforte et al., 2019] are a clear evidence of the impressive dynamics that characterized the volcano during this last erupton which, despite the low volume of magma poured out, can be considered one of the most important ones of the last 30 years. In this study, we analysed the Etnean seismicity and calculated the complete moment tensor of a selecton of earthquakes recorded by the broadband network of INGVCT during the last erupton, with the aim of providing new insights into the erupton dynamics. In partcular, we investgated the source mechanisms and the possible involvement of magmatc fluids.

The eastern southern flank of Mt. Etna is characterized by a complex volcanotectonic framework that is know from about 30 years. In this area, a series of structural alignment, oriented about WNWESE (TSGA System) are present that causing a slow eastward sliding of this area. This effect is caused probably by the intrusion of the magma across the surface, the recent lava covers that rest on the clayey substrate and due to gravity tend to slip the following “inflatondeflaton cycle” during each erupton phenomena. Several interpretatons of the unstable eastern flank indicate a simple gravitycontrolled mechanism enhanced by magmatc intrusions. In order to detect actve deformaton at the southeastern edge of the unstable sector of Mt. Etna two geodetc subnetworks were established in 2010 and 2014 across the fault system We identfied four blocks near the southern boundary of unstable eastern slope (TremesteriSan GregorioAcitrezza fault zone), characterised by different strike and modules of velocity, separated by actve fault segmentswhich are characterised by different kinematcs. We obtained the velocity for each block during the period 20172018. The velocity for each block is: A=20,9 mm/a; B=23,2 mm/y, C= 14,3 mm/y; D= 33,5 mm/y, respectvely for A, B, C and D blocks, indicatng that the velocity value increases toward east. Moreover, we calculate the movement of the A, B and D block considering C stable: A = 20.71 mm/y (cVA); B = 22.80 mm/y (CVB); D = 33.3 mm/y (CVD) from west to east, this data confirms that the velocity increase toward east. In conclusion, the horizontal velocity field increases from West to East. Probably it is controlled by both tectonic extension and/or the intrusion of dyke that could cause acceleraton of the phenomenon moreover it is enhanced by the fractured clayey substrate.

Mt. Etna is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and is considered one of the most interesting natural laboratories for the understanding of eruptive processes and the ascent of magma. The eastern flank dynamics is controlled by several fault systems; among these, the ProvenzanaPernicana fault represents the northern boundary. From west to east, the Ragalna, Tremestieri Etneo and Trecastagni faults which in some places have evident morphological slopes make up the southern boundary of the eastern flank. The associated seismic sources are characterized by extremely superficial foci, which sometimes cause moderate damage to existing structures. Although it has been recognized as a southern boundary, these structural fault systems have not been affected in recent decades by significant seismicity, showing a low rate of occurrence. This characteristic, probably linked to the scarce detection of microseismicity and to the insufficient constraint of the seismic sources, could represent a limit of the current seismological knowledge in this volcano sector. The Trecastagni Fault (TF) is a discontinuity, with an approximately NNWSSE trend, that develops in the southern flank of Mt. Etna, between the Trecastagni and San Giovanni la Punta villages. The seismicity of the TF is characterized by very shallow earthquakes with typical focal depths of 12 km below sea level. Also, south of TF, creep effects are visible along the San Gregorio di Catania fault. In recent years, some minor shallow earthquakes have been felt by the local residents, in particular, on 15 October 2009, at 00:52 GMT, M=2.1 and on 29 October 2010, at 01:37, M=2.2. Ten years after the last flank eruption of 2008 2009, on December 24, 2018 an intense seismic sequence preceded and accompanied the beginning of a flank eruption at Mt. Etna volcano. The most powerful event (ML=4.8; MW=4.9) was recorded on December 26 at 02:19 UTC and occurred just below sea level between the villages of Fleri and Pennisi. After this earthquake, the seismicity affected the central areas of the volcano and subsequently it involved more peripheral sectors including the southern structures and among these, the Trecastagni fault systems. The purpose of this research is to study the seismicity occurred along the TF on February 2019 in the posteruption December 2018 and their possible links with ground deformation data recorded by two extensometric stations operating in this volcano sector. In particular, we focused on three earthquakes that occurred on 6th (23:38 UTC Ml=2.5), 9th (06:02 UTC, Ml=2.9), and 10th (04:00 UTC, Ml=2.4) February 2019 which were felt by the populations living near of the epicenter area. We integrated the seismic data (P and Sphases) recorded by INGVOE permanent seismic network with those acquired by SGR station, managed by the University of Catania and located near the fault under investigation. The integration of data has allowed improving the main hypocentral location parameters and to better associate these earthquakes with the seismogenic activity of the TF. In the same days, exstensometer data highlighted millimetric variations at both the two stations. In particular, the exstensometers showed a fault dynamic through seismic releases between February 6th and 10th and subsequently, in the period between 10th and 17th February, without seismic activity. 43 44 MISCELLANEA INGV n. 52 activity of Mt.

The volcanotectonic evoluton of the Main Ethiopian Rif (MER) is punctuated with periods of intense silicic volcanism, characterized by large explosive calderaforming eruptons and the producton of several ignimbrite deposits. These volcanic paroxysms require large volume of evolved silicic magma accumulated in shallow chambers into the contnental crust; however, the relatons between magmatsm and tectonics during rifing, and the influence of the distributon and tming of regional tectonics on the ascent of magma and its stalling in large magmatc reservoirs stll remain poorly defined. We present a new, large geochronological 40Ar/39Ar dataset providing new constraints on the tming, evoluton and characteristcs of volcanism in the Central sector of the MER. Our survey and analyses suggest that, at least along the eastern margin of the rif, actvity was clustered in periods of large magma producton and emission, resultng in the recurrence of intense volcanic phases interspersed with periods of rest of volcanism. Ignimbrites and other volcanic deposits occur in the investgated area, spanning an age interval from 3.5 Ma to as recent as 150 ka. The sector is characterised by the presence of large, variably welded ignimbrite deposits and remnants of several calderas, which testfy the recurrence of silicic flareups. We investgate in detail the eastern margin of the rif, where a large volume (hundreds of cubic km), widespread crystalrich ignimbrite (Munesa Crystal Tuff, MCT; 3.5 Ma) is described. This ignimbrite presents at least two main units: a lower, more than 150 meters thick, densely welded deposit with columnar jointngs, that can be tentatvely correlated to a thick ignimbrite occurring at the botom of geothermal wells in the central part of the rif, and an upper, pumicebearing, unwelded unit. The MCT emission was followed, afer a long quiescence, by an important phase with the emplacement of both mafic (lava flows and scoria cone) and evolved ignimbritc products between 1.91.6 Ma. Two widespread ignimbrite units are in fact present along the same margin, cropping out for several tens of kilometres, so testfying the high volcanicity of this sector of the MER. Afer this phase, volcanism occurred more frequently, possibly with a lower amount of erupted magma and stll alternatng with quiescent periods, clustering at ~ 1.3 1.2 Ma, ~ 0.80.7 Ma and ~ 0.30.2 Ma. These episodes of high volcanic actvity will be compared with the episodic rifing of this sector of the Main Ethiopian Rif.

Therefore, TP3 could correspond to one of the younger tephras from the Melka Kunture close to this tme interval, such as MK27 20 (0.726 Ma) or MK2709 (0.709 Ma). This new tme constraint to the top of the Aalat secton permited us also to estmate longterm sedimentaton rates for three tme slices across the whole record: 0.83 mm/a during the Jaramillo event, 0.77 mm/a during the final part of the Matuyama epoch, and in the range of 1.340.76 mm/a in the final part of the succession.

The combinaton of data collected from both the proximal and distal sedimentary setngs allowed us to correlate several tephra layers to their volcanic source and, in some cases, to specific eruptve units, thus transferring highprecision 40Ar/39Ar ages determined on the relevant proximal eruptve units into the Lake Fucino succession. This allowed us to develop a robust agedepth model for the 430365 ka tme interval that provided a fundamental geochronological framework for both the paleoclimatc record and the tming of major and minor explosive events at the various periTyrrhenian volcanic districts, which in turn is fundamental for volcanic hazard assessment purposes. Our data add informaton fundamental to the Mediterranean tephrochronological framework, which is crucial for both addressing paleoclimatc issues, and for a beter understanding of the history of the periTyrrhenian explosive volcanism. From a wider methodological perspectve, our results highlight how a multdisciplinary approach, which integrates data from both distal and nearsource volcanosedimentary records, is pivotal to establish a robust regional and extra regional reference tephrochronological framework. This has clear applicatons within the wider context of the Quaternary sciences and volcanology and a systematc future applicaton of this approach to other volcanoes is needed.

The Campi Flegrei caldera (southern Italy) is characterized by over onethird of its extension lying below the sea. In the last 15 kyr the caldera floor has suffered hundreds of meters of ground deformaton alternatng uplif and subsidence episodes in response to the actvity of the volcanic system. The evidence of significant uplifs is witnessed by the occurrence of marine sequences exposed on land, both along a 30 m high La Starza cliff and in numerous well logs. However, most of these sediments are currently hidden below the sea. This work aims to reconstruct the marine counterpart of the infill by using large multscale reflecton seismic data (> 100 profiles) and an accurate seismic facies analysis. The later consisted in the study and comparison of seismic atributes, scaled to the resoluton of the different datasets, to their geological analogs on land. Furthermore, by observing the changes in patern of onlap terminatons, thickness, amplitude, and distributon of erosive features of different horizons, we tentatvely ascribed these sequences to the wellknown contnental deposits. The study of the whole sequence above the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff (15 ka) allowed us to gather relevant informaton about the relatonships between stratgraphic record, ground deformaton and sea level changes. In partcular, the reconstructon of buried surfaces gave us hints on the evoluton of the volcanic system including the role of faults in terms of estmaton of displacement and relatonships with the different epoch of major eruptve actvity.

Pilato occurred during the VIII century, as already suggested by a previous 14C datng and was thus followed by a period of eruptve stasis identfied by a series of visible erosional discontnuites. The actvity resumed during the second half of XIII century with the Forgia Vecchia erupton that included both an explosive and an effusive phase. This was rapidly followed by the Rocche Rosse and Lami eruptons, which went on penecontemporaneously. While Rocche Rosse occurred in the same area of Mt. Pilato, Lami consists of a local vent on the southern sector of Mt. Pilato cone. Rocche Rosse, Lami and Forgia Vecchia are thus aligned along a NS fracture line indicatng that their initaton was promoted by the actvaton of the same structural element. The simultaneous actvaton of volcanic vents on Lipari and on the island of Vulcano (Breccia di Commenda erupton) about 8 km to the south, along the same N S fissure in turn indicates that the tectonic line had a significant role in the regional character of eruptve actvity.

A lavafountaining episode occurred on Mount Etna on the 18th May 2016. As a consequence, the summit craters were filled by pyroclasts, tll the formaton of a clastogenic lava flow, which spilled out from the Bocca Nuova crater and flew on the western flank of the volcano. The aim of this work is to understand the rheological behaviour of both the ejected products and the flow. It was performed a suit of high temperature (10501100 °C), uniaxial deformaton experiments at a constant strain rate (strain rate 104 s1) on natural crystalvesicle bearing samples coming from the May 2016 episode. Samples were collected on the summit area (pyroclasts) and along the flow, making a distncton as a functon of the vertcal profile with the distance from the emission point. The rheological behaviour changes progressively in agreement with the variaton of the textural features: vesicles show minimum values along the flow (1025%) and maximum values in pyroclasts (56%), while crystal content seems not to influence the rheology significantly. A suite of experiments was performed at 3 different experimental temperatures and constant strain rate of 10^4 s1, showing deformaton both within the britle and the ductle regime, depending on the increase in vesicle content and temperature: results show that samples having a high vesicle content tend to maintain their britle behaviour, whereas in denser samples, together with the temperature increase, the ductle deformaton dominates. By combining textural and rheological data, field observatons of the 2016 clastogenic lava flow are confirmed. due to sintering and compacton were responsible of a marked decrease in vesicle content from the pyroclasts to the overflowing zone, promotng lava viscous flow, as experiments confirmed. Subsequently, autobreccia formaton due to the britle behaviour were favoured by the down flow porosity increase.

The transport, sedimentation and deposition of the 39.8-ka Campanian Ignimbrite: a study from the field to the volcanic process

Despite the large number of studies, the transport and depositon of pyroclastc density currents (PDCs) have remained a most debated issue in volcanology. Some explosive eruptons withdraw magma volumes of several hundred cubic kilometers, generate very large PDCs and the deposits can extend more than 100 km from their vent. Fundamental questons concern about the long runout distances and what the propagaton flow mechanism and the physics are behind these very large PDCs. One of these largevolume PDCs is the Campanian Ignimbrite (CI), the case study of this work, related to a calderaforming erupton that occurred 39.8 ka in Campi Flegrei. The CI is widespread over an area of 7,000 km2, with a final runout of about 80 km and deposits can be found at an elevaton of around 1,000 m above sea level. In spite of the large number of studies, some questons are stll open. The Dense Rock Equivalent (DRE) volume estmates range from 60 to 300 km3. This work presents a new estmate of the volume constrained by an isopach map that reconstructs the paleotopography during the erupton. The total final volume estmate of the erupton ranges from 415.0 km3 to 527.8 km3 (164.9 km3 210.7 km3 DRE). This value corresponds to a mass of 4.30 5.49 x 10^14 kg, a magnitude of 7.7 and a VEI of 7. The thickness data were used to analyze the PDC interacton with the paleotopography, using the topological aspect rato (ARt). A great effect of blocking is evident in front of topographic barriers, while a strong channeling occurred in the paleovalleys. Three different systems were recognized: a transport system, a sedimentaton system and a depositonal system. The transport system was extremely diluted and an index of a high energy flow, which developed the sedimentaton system as the flow reached the topographic barrier. Depositonal features, including valleypond deposits with flat tops, the lack of veneer facies and of deposit at steep slopes suggest a near Newtonian behavior of the fluidized granular undercurrents of fine ash partcles downhill generated by the sedimentaton system. The undercurrents have clear signs of a subcritcal flow, thick and relatvely slow. Both the indexes of high and low energy current (as sub and supercritcal flow) suggests that CI can be considered as a new end member of ignimbrites.

Use of UBSU cartography on volcanic deposits: the example of Monte Amiata (Southern Tuscany, Italy)
Claudia Principe, Luigina Vezzoli, Sonia La Felice
CNR, Isttuto di Geoscienze e Georisorse, Pisa, Italy
The geological units adopted by the Italian Geological Survey in the volcanic stratgraphy and cartography are the Unconformity Boundary Stratgraphic Units (UBSU), which are defined as a rocky body bounded on the top and botom by specific, significant, and demonstrable surfaces of geologic discontnuity. The basic unit is the Synthem, which can be divided into two or more Subsynthems. This cartographic criterium has been applied to the survey of the Monte Amiata volcano. More than 30 lithostratgraphic units has been mapped, and inside these units, eleven Formatons have been described and formally defined. The use of UBSU criteria made possible to group all these units in only two Synthemes and five Subsynthemes. The limit between the two recognized Synthems corresponds to a significatve geologic discontnuity associated with a saprolitc soil developed by in situ physical disaggregaton of the underlying acidic lavas that consttute the parent rocks. The applicaton of the UBSU stratgraphic units allowed to propose a geological evoluton of the Monte Amiata volcano comprising two main period of actvity that correspond to the older Bagnore Synthem and the younger Monte Amiata Synthem. They are separated by a major unconformity corresponding to a surface of erosion, saprolithic weathering and tectonic deformaton. Into the Bagnore Synthem, there are two Subsynthem. The lower, the Bagnolo Subsynthem comprises several great lava flows characterized by a vitrophyric perlitc groundmass. They flowed for very long distances (up to 8 km) in all the directons (e.g. Sorgente del Fiora Fm., Marroneto Fm., Piancastagnaio fm., Abbadia San Salvatore fm., Vivo d’Orcia fm.). A surface of erosion and unconformity separates the Bagnolo Subsynthem from the overlying Montearioso Subsynthem. It is composed of more confined vitrophyric lava flows (e.g. Tre Case Fm., Quaranta Fm., Castel del Piano fm.) and one exogenous lava dome and coulee (Poggio Pinzi fm.). All the rocks belonging to the Bagnore Synthem show a welldeveloped weathering that transformed their uppermost porton in a sandy deposit, yellow and reddish in color. The Monte Amiata Synthem comprises three Subsynthems. The lower Valle Gelata Subsynthem is characterized by exogenous lava domes with thick coulees (e.g. Poggio Lombardo Fm., Pozzaroni Fm.) and by long channelized lava flows (e.g. Leccio fm., Coderino fm.). The intermediate Madonna degli Scout Subsynthem is composed of several exogenous lava domes with short coulees (e.g. Poggio della Pescina Fm., Poggio Falco Fm., Corno di Bellaria Fm., La Veta fm., Rifugio Cantore fm.), and minor lava flows. All these units are emplaced upon a morphology that has been moulded by tectonic deformatons. The final Prato della Contessa Subsynthem comprises several exogenous lava domes (e.g. La Montagnola fm., Pianello fm.) and lava flows (e.g. Ermeta fm., Le Macinaie fm., Cancelle fm, Fosso La Cocca fm.) from the volcano summit area, and the lateral exogenous lava dome and coulee of the Trauzzolo Fm.

We present a new geological map at 1:10 000 scale of Ustca Island (southern Italy), founded on original geological and structural fieldwork and stratgraphic investgaton carried out during the last decade, combined with a large set of original petrological and geochemical data and the radiometric ages available from the literature. These data have been merged in a revised eruptve and magmatc history of this volcanic island, developed between ca. 737 ka and the last Interglacial Cycle by means of both subaqueous and subaerial effusive and explosive eruptons alternatng with phases of marine erosion related to the MiddleUpper Pleistocene sea level highstands and intense ENEWSWtrending tectonic actvity. Fieldwork and stratgraphy are based on 25 lithostratgraphic units as the basic units for mapping the distnct rock bodies, combined with 10 lithosomes defining the distnct eruptve centres vents actve through tme and various unconformitybounded units (synthems) providing correlatons. In partcular, five synthems (Passo della Madonna, Timpone Basile, Cala della Madonna, Tramontana, Cala Santa Maria) and the informal PaleoUstca unit are subdivided by primary marine and subaerial erosive unconformites, in places associated to tectonic phases. The eruptve and magmatc history of Ustca is then interpreted as the tmestratgraphic succession of five major periods of actvity (Eruptve Epochs, thereafer EE 15) separated by erosional stages of quiescence and characterized by distnctve eruptve vents and products. EE 1 (PaleoUstca, ~737 ka) comprises hyaloclasttes and pillow lavas erupted from an ENE WSW oriented submarine eruptve fissure at progressively decreasing depth. During EE 2 (Passo della Madonna Synthem, 519476 ka) effusive and explosive actvity occurred in a transitonal shallow submarine/subaerial environment (emerging stage) from different vents and eruptve fissures mostly located along the western and northwestern coast of Ustca island. The bulk of the two main stratovolcanoes of the island, namely Mt. Guardia dei Turchi and Mt. Costa del Fallo, was also built during this epoch. Afer a relatvely short period of quiescence, the actvity of Mt. Costa del Fallo contnued during EE 3 (424412 ka) with the subPlinian explosive erupton producing the Grota del Lapillo pumices tephra and the effusion of the Timpone Tranchina mugearitc lava flows from the summit crater and lateral centresvents in the NW coastal sector. EE 4 occurred from vents located in the NW sector of Ustca, in the area of Punta Testa del Rosso and Passo della Madonna, producing widespread lava flows that presently crop out along the whole northern coast of the island. A subsequent prolonged period of quiescence is recorded in different marine terraces raised at different elevatons up to a maximum of ~100 m asl due to regional tectonic uplif, together with ENEWSWtrending normal faults with a sinistral horizontal component. Renewed volcanic actvity during EE 5 produced the poorly differentated Naalkaline pyroclastc products of the Capo Falconiera tuff cone, which was actve during the Last Interglacial cycle (~120 ka) interruptng a period of prevailing marine erosion and depositon.

Etna is one of the most actve volcanoes on the Earth. Its eruptons occur both at the summit and from its flanks. Although in the past 40 years, the average interval between flank eruptons has been only about two years, in the last eight years we assisted at almost 60 eruptons and lava flows emplaced. Considering the huge amount of people living on his flanks and visitng the volcano every year the lava flow monitoring for risk mitgaton and Civil Protecton purposes is one of the fundamental tasks of the Cartographic Laboratory of the Isttuto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Osservatorio Etneo. Lately, the request for quickly and lowcost cartographic updates has increased, for this reason, it was necessary to find unusual and innovatve techniques to perform photogrammetry. The approach we present has peculiarites: • quick planning and carrying out of surveys, • low cost • usage of different sensors.
In partcular, we tested the simultaneous use of UAV, high precision GPS, Hiresoluton camera with GPS integrated, a backpack composed by a reality capture sensor platorm combines imagery and point cloud and a portable imaging laser scanner. This new tool was tested on the summit crater of Etna and in a lava tube. We have reconstructed a georeferenced 3D model of the Monte Intraleo lava tunnel located along the lower West flank of Etna volcano. The survey was performed with a BLK laser scanner and an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). We georeferenced the tunnel dense cloud using the entrance of the tunnel dense cloud obtained with both the UAV and the laser scanner. The different dense clouds obtained afer each survey were then elaborated with dedicated sofware that allow their management and overlap. This experiment demonstrated the possibility to obtain high precision 3D models with the most suitable tools on the base of the target and on the disponibility of the tools. This new photogrammetry approach can be applied in any environment where highprecision 3D reconstructon is required to update the topographical changes and to evaluate volcanological parameters such as area and lava volume effusion rate and so on.

This work wants to show the comparison between different methodologies to obtain Digital Elevaton Model (DEM) trough UAVs calculatng also the errors in the results. In partcular, we want to demonstrate which is the beter technique to face erupton crises, considering the tming and the reliability of the results. To mitgate the risk associated to an erupton it is necessary as much trustworthiness informaton as possible in the less tme possible. We have overflight a carefully selected area characterized by the presence of a relatvely young lava flow easily to reach to allow us to repeat the survey several tmes if necessary. This area had to be well exposed without vegetaton to avoid the problem related to it during the photogrammetric process. The lava flow field had to be included in the area covered by the LIDAR survey of the 2005, used to obtain the summit Etna DEM [Bisson et al., 2008]. We chose this DEM as reference because it was validated with the INGV permanent GPS network. The studied area is located in the Southern flank of Etna Volcano at about 1800 m a.s.l. and is characterized by the presence of a branch of the 200203 lava flow. We performed a survey with RealTime Kinematc (RTK) UAV positoning several Ground Control Points (GCP) homogenously spread around the lava flow unit. Then we ran the images with Structure from Moton (SfM) Sofware comparing three different ways of images process: with RTK correcton, with GCP, without GCP and RTK correcton. The result of this work demonstrates which is the best practce to apply when a lava flow map and a volume estmaton request to characterize an eruptve event. For the volume estmaton is, moreover, necessary a preeruptve surface the most accurate and at high resoluton as possible. Ones the best practce will be find it could be applied in every environmental when a rapid and efficient answer to a natural disaster is requested.

The combined use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and digital photogrammetry (DP) represent a rapidly evolving field of technological applicaton allowing geoscientsts to obtain very detailed spatal data products that are suitable for rapid mapping and analysis of dynamic landscape processes. Our research is commited to actve volcanic areas and is aimed at acquiring tme series of digital data for monitoring the geomorphological evoluton of relevant volcanic structures. The study is focused on Pisciarelli site, a faultrelated fumarolic field located a few hundred meters east of Solfatara crater, Campi Flegrei, Italy. This area is characterized by a consistent soil degassing and fluid emission from vents, mostly ephemeral and hot pools. This degassing actvity was episodically accompanied by local seismic actvity and by some macroscopic changes such as the appearance of vigorous degassing vents (T > 110° C) and various mud bubbling pools (T ≈ 90°C). Small explosions probably accompanied these changes. The slopes near the area show relevant instabilites. In order to carry out a shortterm monitoring program of the landform changes, caused by the interplay between intensive rainfall and volcanic actvity, we made photogrammetric UAV surveys repeated over tme and produced orthomosaic photos and digital elevaton models (DEMs) by using photogrammetry sofware with computer vision technique, i.e. Structure from Moton technique. The orthomosaic photos and DEM data were utlized to create an aerial photo interpretaton map and a 3D map. In this way, we have estmated the area and volume of Pisciarelli fumarolic field and the changes occurred from November 2019.

The eruptve history of a volcano can be investgated by analysing the changes of its topography through tme. This work presents the morphological evoluton of the Somma Vesuvio volcanic edifice from 1876 to nowadays through the reconstructon of topographies derived from historical maps of IGM (Italian Geographic Military Insttute) and Airborne LiDAR data acquired during a survey of 20092012. We have focused the atenton on the caldera zone trying to consider the different spatal resoluton and accuracies of the source data. This is a crucial point for comparing several Digital Elevaton Models (DEMs) providing quanttatve analyses with relatve errors estmatons. The analyses performed on GIS platorm (ESRI environment) allowed to compare four DEMs: three DEMs built interpolatng the elevaton data digitalized from 1876, 1906 and 1929 IGM historical maps and a fourth DEM obtained processing the original LiDAR raw ascii data stored in lat long coordinates. The comparison among the DEMs was made analysing the crater centroid spatal positon, the elevaton profiles along 4 directons, and calculatng the volume and surface of the Gran Cono edifice. The results permited to identfy some important volcanic deposits related to specific eruptons, highlight morphological changes of the crater area associated to a probable migraton of its centroid, and show a general increasing in surface and volume of Gran Cono edifice from the 1876 to nowadays. Since most of the results are in agreement with literature data, the approach here proposed could be adopted for studying the morphological changes of other volcanic areas which past topographies are documented by a large amount of historical cartography.

In the summer of 2019, Mt. Etna experienced an intense Strombolian actvity marked by two lava flow episodes interspersed with intense degassing. During that tme, we deployed two 6element infrasound arrays located at less than 1 km from the actve vents of Voragine (VOR) and NewSouthEast Crater (NSEC). Preliminary analysis using infrasound array processing based on leastsquare beamforming show how infrasound data can be used to discriminate and track volcanic actvity, from background pulsatng degassing to individual ashrich explosions, persistent Strombolian actvity, and lava effusion. We also introduce quanttatve assessment of uncertainty on the estmates of source backazimuth and apparent horizontal velocity. Results evidence shifs actvity from one vent to another with backazimuth errors of less than 2°.

Mount Etna, a 3,324 m high basaltc stratovolcano located on the eastern coast of Sicily (Southern Italy), is the largest actve onshore volcano in Europe and one of the bestknown and most intensely monitored volcanoes of the planet, implying significant recent progress in the knowledge of its dynamics. The increasing availability of spaceborne SAR data provides over tme accurate informaton on the volcano morphology and deformaton, partcularly during emergency phases, when it is difficult or even impossible to carry out insitu surveys. Therefore, a fast availability and processing of the SAR data is crucial to help understanding the ongoing volcano dynamic. Since 24 December 2018, a new intense actvity has started at Mount Etna and it has been associated with a relevant seismic sequence that culminated with a Mw 4.9 earthquake, occurred on 26 December 2018 on the lower part of the Eastern volcano flank along the Fiandaca Fault and characterized by a strikeslip mechanism. In this work, we investgate both the volcanic erupton process and the Mw 4.9 mainshock nucleaton by using DInSAR measurements, seismological data and analytcal modelling. In partcular, we first exploit the DInSAR measurements obtained from coseismic SAR data pairs collected by the Sentnel1 and COSMOSkyMed satellites from ascending and descending orbits. All of these data have been processed immediately afer their availability and have been shared with the Natonal Authorites to manage the volcano crisis. By benefitng from the availability of different orbits (ascending and descending), we retrieve the Vertcal and East West components of the displacements affectng the analyzed area. The obtained results show that the EastWest component presents the most significant displacement enttes, whose maximum values exceed about 30 cm towards West and about 50 cm towards East close to the volcano summit. In additon, in the area in which the 26 December main shock occurred, maximum eastward and westward displacements of 1214 cm and 1517 cm are observed, respectvely. Moreover, we analyse the distributon of the relocated hypocentres in order to identfy the involved and actvated structures and, to beter constrain the geometry and characteristcs of the main sources, we extend our analysis by applying a modelling approach based on the analytcal method. Therefore, we invert DInSAR measurements to get the combinaton of seismic and vulcanic sources that beter predict the displacement field; nonlinear and linear modeling inversions are performed to retrieve source geometries, tensile and shear component distributons. In partcular, our model suggests the existence of two volcanic sources, which allow us to retrieve the surface displacements measured through the DInSAR maps and are consistent with the observed seismic swarm. Furthermore, we exploited the Coulomb Stress Change analysis to understand how the volcanic actvity affected some of the seismogenic structures of this area; our analysis clearly reveals that the intrusion encouraged, with a positve loading, the seismic actvaton of the faults in all the examined areas.

Bayesian inversion of the geodetic data: application on the deformation field of Mt. Etna
Mahak Singh Chauhan, Flavio Cannavò
Isttuto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Sezione di Catania Osservatorio Etneo, Italy
The geometrical and kinematc source parameters of a magmatc source can be characterized by mathematcal models like sphere and rectangular. An automatc way to search for these parameters is to invert the observed deformaton field while assuming that such kind of models is able to generate the comparable field. Most of the inversion approach iteratvely minimize the error of a misfit (between observed and calculated data) functon and gives the best fit model. Although, this is highly possible to get the models in the same source volume having equivalent misfit error. This is typically an inherent issue of ambiguity in the geophysical interpretaton caused by insufficient spatal resoluton of the source volume, discretzaton of the contnuous field and highly noisy geodetc data. An effectve way to discard these non realistc models or in general to address the issue of nonuniqueness is to use aprior informaton in the inversion algorithm. Nevertheless, the obtained model parameters are the optmal soluton, which fits adequately the observed data and always have some degree of uncertaintes. However, we use the Bayesian inversion for estmatng the uncertaintes associated with each model parameters. This is basically a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method for sampling the posterior probability density functon (PDFs) of the source model. MCMC draws the samples from the defined prior distributon iteratvely and accept (or reject) the samples based on the assigned probability through the rato of likelihood value. Since, it is possible to incorporate the standard error of the data in likelihood functon, the samples of model parameters take into account the noise present in the observaton. There are two samplers which is widely used in the framework of MCMC algorithm: MetropolisHastng algorithm and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC). In this work, we show the applicaton of both the samplers on the GPS data recorded on the INGV network on Mt. Etna. The only constrain we used is to provide the limits (or bounds) to the search space for each parameter. The algorithm samples from the uniform prior distributon within the given bounds, ofen called truncated uniform distributon. However, MCMC algorithm also gives opportunity to pass a reference or startng model with an assumed mean and standard deviaton. Then, the algorithm starts from the reference model and update it in each iteraton in order to further check the probability of acceptance. We searched by this inversion approach the model parameters of a dike type source in order to model a magmatc intrusion. Though, we first show the results of the synthetc examples simulatng a real case scenario (pre to post scenario) and then apply it on the 2008 and 2018 erupton of the Mt. Etna. We then conclude by comparing the results obtained by the classical inversion approach (patern search algorithm: PSA) with those obtained by Bayesian inversion. We found the resulted posterior distributon of the parameters are more informatve compare to a single best fit model, which explains the overall tendency of the source distributon that can generate the same data. In this case, the results give more confidence to the interpreter and to incorporate more geological and physical informaton in order to reach the final source model.

Volcanic systems are nowadays characterized by analyzing several kinds of informaton related to different disciplines of Earth Sciences. Among these, geophysical data represent a good tool to achieve the physical propertes of the volcanic edifices, especially because they allow avoiding the issues related to the insitu samples collecton. Indeed, conditons for rocks sampling are not always suitable, such as for the seamounts detecton, where, indirect investgatons are preferable. In these cases, potental fields data analysis represents the best choice since they can be measured at levels different from the topographical surface. In this scenario, we use gravity and magnetc field data to detect about the physical propertes of seamounts. In partcular, we perform a combined analysis between the considered anomalous fields through the Poisson’s theorem by retrieving the density and magnetzaton distributons for the Tyrrhenian seamounts. The Poisson’s relaton represents a valid tool to reach this purpose: based on the mathematcal similarites between the directonal derivatve of the gravity and the magnetc fields, this relaton allows retrieving the magnetzatonto density rato through a combined analysis of the measured anomalies [Garland, 1951]. Currently, the Poisson’s relaton is mainly exploited by comparing the pseudogravity transformed magnetc anomalies and the gravity anomaly, or by considering the reduced to the pole magnetc data and the firstorder vertcal derivatve of the gravity field. Unfortunately, both the approaches require the knowledge about the source totalmagnetzaton parameters, which are crucial informaton to perform the pseudogravity and the reducton to the pole procedures correctly. However, remanent magnetzaton features are rarely available, and so they are assumed to be equal to those related to the total induced magnetc field; this assumpton can lead to wrong interpretatons of the analyzed dataset. For this reason, we here propose other applicatons of this relaton by using different magnetc field transformatons. In partcular, we use and compare the total gradient and the module of the magnetc field with the second and firstorder vertcal derivatves of the gravity data, respectvely. This approach is simpler because both the proposed transformatons are mostly independent from the remanent magnetzaton directon. Specifically, we first perform several synthetc tests by considering the procedure proposed by [Chandler et al., 2001], employing a movingdata window in order to perform a multsource analysis; the best window size is chosen according to these simulatons. Then, we analyze the anomalies related to several seamounts in the Tyrrhenian Sea; since these volcanic edifices are not always characterized by structural homogeneity, we restrict the analysis to its homogeneous subparts. Finally, we retrieve the magnetzaton contrast values for the analyzed seamounts by considering suitable density contrast values.

In a volcanic area, seismicity is characterized by different types of seismic signals, due to the complex interacton between tectonic stress and volcanic dynamics. Referring to the Etna volcano, seismicity mainly consists in earthquakes associated with the fracturing processes of the rocks and seismic signals mainly caused by fluid dynamics (i.e tremor, LP and VLP events). Complete Seismic Moment Tensor computaton allows to a complete definiton of the seismic source through the inversion of the waveforms recorded by the seismic statons. It permits to calculate not only the seismic source Double Couple component (DC), which allows identfying the nodal planes of the focal mechanism but also the non DC components. Among the later, the Compensated Linear Vector Dipole (CLVD) component can be indicatve of the generaton of lentcular cracks and fluids dynamics, while the volumetric component (ISO) is an indicator of the volume variatons due to explosions or implosions. INGV routnely computes realtme automatc seismic moment tensor solutons in Italy for Ml greater or equal to 3.5 earthquakes. In this case, the implemented algorithm (TDMT, Dreger et al., 2003), widely employed in many observatories around the world, it is applied mainly to study the DC component of the moment tensor, and the ISO component is constrained to zero. However, for seismicity in a volcanic environment, retrieving the nonDC component is important since it can provide useful insights into the understanding of the source origin and to evaluate the role of magma in the generaton of earthquakes. Therefore, it would be interestng to compute the full moment tensor and to tune the algorithm for this special area. To achieve our goal, we applied the TDMT algorithm to 10 earthquakes with Ml greater or equal to 3.5 occurred in the Etna volcano area during the December 2018 eruptve episode. To calculate the moment tensor, we used different velocity models and staton configuratons to account for the peculiarity of Etna volcano seismicity and we tested the robustness of the retrieved nonDC components. Finally, the obtained focal mechanisms have been compared with independent estmates of fault plane solutons computed by the first polarites analysis.

Stromboli volcano is characterized by persistent actvites of Strombolian eruptons at summit craters. Furthermore, these normal actvites are frequently interrupted by lava effusions (i.e. 2002, 2007, 2014 and 2019). We performed a temporal tlt observaton at Stromboli from May 2014 to June 2015 to investgate the ground tlt in detail. The period is characterized by inflatondeflaton ground tlt cycles associated with the ordinary explosions and a deflaton tlt due to lava effusion occurred on August. In the present study, we analyze the tlt record to estmate the possible pressure sources. We used 5 tlt statons at a distance of <1 km from the actve craters. We picked more than 2,000 ground tlt events and extracted tlt amplitude, azimuth and duraton. We used tlt vectors averaged for 680 events recorded in the first half of July to estmate a pressure source of the ordinary explosions. Tilt vectors of the deflaton during the lava effusion is almost same as the ordinary explosion. Best soluton for source parameters was estmated by using FE modeling considering topography of Stromboli volcano. As a result, the size and positon of the source for the ordinary explosions and the lava effusion is almost identcal and located within a source volume of 200x100x500 m with a centroid at 500 m a.s.l beneath the summit craters. We suggest that ground tlt is generated by the same pressure source, which is basically consistent with the picture of a shallow magma storage inferred from the analysis of temporal evoluton of lava effusions occurred in the last 35 years.

Low Frequency (LF) seismicity plays an undoubted role in understanding the unrest state of a volcano, due to his strictly link with the magmatc dynamics within volcanoes. Besides, LF waveforms vary depending on the source positon and/or source mechanism, and indepth knowledge of LF waveforms distorton and temporal variaton is crucial for volcano actvity monitoring. Based on the high occurrence in tme of low frequency seismic events acquired by the volcanic observatories, a reliable automatc recogniton system must be implemented in whatever realtme volcanic surveillance system to perform correct data analysis. Aimed to these purposes, we performed a set of automatc processing tools to characterize LF actvity at two volcano scenarios, Etna and Colima volcanoes. We design a Machine Learning (ML) architecture based on supervised classificaton, in order to build a predictve model from our dataset of labeled observatons. The predictve model is obtained through (i) signals detecton, (ii) feature extracton of the signals in tme and frequency domain, and (iii) the use of an automatc classifier to train the model. Finally, we have clustered LF events into different families allowing us to identfy different temporal evolutons for each LF family, which were not recorded contnuously throughout the period under study. We suppose that the waveforms change and their different tme occurrence can be justfied by structural and/or source mechanism modificaton in the plumbing system, caused by the eruptve actvity occurred at the volcanoes.

To date, in order to mitgate risks during explosive eruptons, the volcanological community uses models to forecast the area that could be mostly covered by volcanic ash dispersal and tephra fallout. Those models need meteorological weather forecasts and erupton source parameters that define the volcanic actvity and are obtained using remote sensing systems as surveillance video cameras. However, ofen the videosurveillance does not allow to reliably monitor the volcano actvity when for example, cloud coverage prevents directly observatons of the summit area. Mainly for this reason, the objectve of this work is to investgate the relatonships between the seismicacoustc parameters (volcanic tremor and infrasonic signals) and volcanological parameters (e.g. height of the lava fountain), in order to obtain a model that allows us to estmate in real tme some volcanological parameters. We processed data from three different lava fountains of Mt. Etna (Italy), that occurred between April and November 2013 at the New South East Crater (NSEC located about 3300 m a.s.l.), through the aid of a sofware implemented in Matlab®. Initally, we carried out an analysis of volcanic tremor and infrasonic signals, recorded by a seismicacoustc staton of the Isttuto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia Osservatorio Etneo Sezione di Catania (INGVOE), to estmate the variaton of amplitude and released energy with tme. Subsequently, we processed videos acquired by two thermal cameras (EMOT and ENT) of INGVOE located in Nicolosi and Montagnola and estmated the variaton of lava fountain height with tme. Finally, the seismicacoustc data were compared with volcanological data, with the aim of deriving a model that allows us to estmate the height of the lava fountains startng exclusively from a seismicacoustc dataset.

Infrasound has become an important tool for volcano monitoring during the past decade, owing to its ability to detect and characterize explosive volcanic actvity with high temporal resoluton. The amount of data recorded by volcano observatories makes their manual analysis a challenging, frequently unfeasible, task. The implementaton of automated tools to address this challenge is, thus, vital for effectve monitoring operatons. Here, we present an advanced approach for acoustc infrasound event detecton that overtakes the applicaton of the traditonal shortterm average/longterm average (STA/LTA) algorithms, which have shown limitatons when applied in volcanic environments, or more generally to signals with poor signal tonoise ratos. Taking advantage of advanced signal processing techniques, in combinaton with apriori knowledge of recorded explosions, we have implemented a robust infrasound detector, based on adaptve multband processing. The algorithm is based on the characterizaton of the shape of the explosion signals, their duraton, and frequency content. We have tested the goodness of our algorithm by using dataset acquired by two different volcanoes: Santaguito (Guatemala) and Etna (Italy) volcanoes. Our encouraging results suggest that realtme implementatons of detecton algorithms could be crucial to improve existng infrasound datasets and ultmately, increase our ability to monitor unrest at actve volcanoes.

On 24 December 2018, a violent erupton started at Mount Etna from a fissure on the southeastern flank. The intrusive phenomenon, accompanied by intense Strombolian and lava fountain actvity, an ashrich plume, and lava flows, was marked by significant ground deformaton and seismicity. In this work, we show how an integrated investgaton combining highrate GPS data, volcanotectonic earthquakes, volcanic tremor, infrasound tremor, and infrasound events allows tracking the magma intrusion phenomenon spatally and temporally with unprecedented resoluton. Moreover, it enabled showing how the central magma column lowered as a response to the flank erupton and to constrain the zone of interacton between the dike and the central plumbing system at a depth of 24 km below sea level. This is important for understanding flank and summit interacton, suggestng that explosive summit actvity may in some cases be driven by lateral dike intrusions.

The Trecastagni fault shows a main vertcal kinematcs, with an evident downthrow of the eastern side at a rate of about 4 mm/y. Subsidence increase eastwards away from the structure, reaching a maximum rate of almost 10 mm/y. The fault produces a minor increase in the eastwards velocity on its eastern side evidencing also a minor extension of the structure. Episodic acceleratons affect both faults and are visible on some interferograms from different sensors. The dense GPS network is measured periodically and has more than seventy benchmarks. The tme series of this network began in 1988 and from then on its configuraton has been contnuously improved. Two GPS networks lie across the eastern segment of the Pernicana fault. The first one, located in the Rocca Campana area, was installed in April 1997; the second one, located a few kilometers westward, in the Rocca Pignatello area, was measured for the first tme in July 2002 upgrading an EDM network. The aim of these networks is to detail the structural framework and displacements along the aseismic sector of the Pernicana fault. Integraton of this wide spectrum of geodetc data allows strongly constrained ground deformaton patern to be defined and modeled. Furthermore, the very long tme series available for the different datasets on the Pernicana fault, allows its behavior to be investgated in tme and its role and relatonships in the framework of flank instability and eruptve actvity to beter understood.

This work focuses on the characterizaton of deformaton structures hosted in the post NYT (15 ka) sequence in both contnental and marine areas of Campi Flegrei caldera. A structural survey has been carried out on the rocks exposed onland. Measurements of fractures, faults, and sedimentary dikes have been collected and analyzed, as well as their relatonships with the pyroclastc successions. In partcular, we focused on the western and central sectors of the caldera, including the nowadays most actve area of hydrothermal actvity (AgnanoSolfatara). Results indicate the presence of four fracture and fault sets, consistng of older Appeninic/Ant Appeninic and younger NNESSW/WSWENE trends. The former structures generally cut the volcanoclastc succession up to AgnanoMonte Spina (AMS) tephra (4.55 ka); the later faults are hosted within Astroni tephra (4.2 ka). The submerged porton of the caldera has been investgated through multscale seismic lines, which allowed us to map in detail the major fault systems. Two main fault systems have been identfied according to locaton and attudes. The first system is localized in the central part of the caldera, coinciding with the ~15 km2 apical dome area. We recognized high angle faults (dip > 75°) oriented with similar trend compared to the contnental ones. However, the NNE fault set can be divided into two subsets, with the occurrence of steeper normal faults in a 2.5 km2 limited area. The observed trends are consistent with that measured onland. The second fault system consists of the ring faults bounding the Campi Flegrei caldera, depictng an arcuate lineament from Nisida/Bagnoli (to the East) to Bacoli Baia (to the West). This ring fault system is characterized by mean dips of 65° and main EW and NNWSSE directons. To retrieve the tme frame of actvity of these faults and their relatonships with the major volcanic and sedimentary markers, the later has been interpreted and correlated in the seismostratgraphic sectons through a study of seismic facies with the wellconstrained stratgraphy onland.

The migraton of magma toward the surface prior to an erupton and the evoluton of the magmatc systems produce signals that can be measured by seismic, geodetc and gas monitoring arrays located around actve volcanoes. The scarce knowledge of the processes controlling the transiton between quiescence and erupton limits our ability to decipher monitoring signals of volcanic unrest, and thus to predict the onset and the characteristcs of eruptons. The unequivocal interpretaton of the pre and syneruptve processes that generate realtme signals requires to know the rheological propertes of magma (melt, crystals, and bubble), the depth and geometry of storage zone/s, the structural context of the volcano edifice, as well as their evoluton over the tme. Most of this crucial informaton can be obtained by the petrological monitoring of the erupted products (lava flows and pyroclasts), focusing on the study of their petrography, rock textures and chemical compositons. The key point of the petrological monitoring of an ongoing erupton is to carry out the sampling of eruptve products as regular as possible and to perform rapid laboratory analyses, to address the variaton of petrological parameters over tme. For example, the analyses of tephra, which include grain size, partcles morphology and clast componentry, give informaton on style and dynamic of magma fragmentaton; textural features, which include mineral assemblage and vesicles populaton, as well as chemical analyses provide informaton about pre and syneruptve processes that led to magma ascent, such as the involvement of different magma batches or rejuvenaton. This work, which is carried out in the framework of EUROVOLC project actvites, is focused to analyze data of a few case study eruptons, that are selected on the basis of the type of volcanic actvity, availability of realtme monitoring signals and petrological data productons. This multdisciplinary approach would disclose the linkage between the rock record (petrology of erupted products) and the realtme (geophysical and geochemical) monitoring, in order to antcipate possible development of an erupton. The cases of study considered include eruptons of Etna (2001), Stromboli (200708), Piton de la Fournaise (2007), El Hierro (201112), BardabungaHoluhraun (2015) and St. Helens (1980). The selected cases of study cover a broad variety of volcanic actvity, among which fissurefed effusions and lava fountains, ashrich explosions, submarine, calderacollapse, and domeforming eruptons, within different geodynamic context and with different magma compositons, spanning from basalt to trachydacite and rhyolite. The final purpose of this work is to suggest the best practce to be used for petrological monitoring during volcanic crises. To this aim, it is crucial to assess what types of petrological parameters are suitable to reveal possible evoluton of an ongoing erupton together with easiness and speediness of acquisiton for effectve realtme monitoring. Finally, this work should promote the development of protocols among volcanic observatory worldwide to beter perform petrological monitoring, allowing their interacton on a solid and standardized routne. 123 124 MISCELLANEA INGV n. 52 during eruptons. decisionmakers both intermsof hazard mitgaton before eruptons andof crisismanagement onset andevoluton and will improve thequality of interpretaton, sustainingtheactonsof Acquiring thisknowledge will setthepath for adeeper comprehension of volcanic eruptons S5.7 Poster Abstract Volume 4a Conferenza A.

The unrest of the Campi Flegrei caldera (CFc) is characterized primarily by shallow hydrothermal manifestatons, vigorous gas emissions and seismic actvity. The recent literature on the interpretaton of the unrest of the CFc points out the role played by processes involving the area of the Solfatara crater and the nearby Pisciarelli zone, which are the sites presentng the major actvites during the last decade. In order to characterize the fumarole field of Pisciarelli, Electrical Resistvity Tomography (ERT) and Self Potental surveys have been recently realized, taking advantage of the capability of these two techniques to resolve shallow structures, evidencing at the same tme the volumes permeated by hydrothermal fluids. A first ERT prospecton has been carried on in correspondence of a 100 m long survey line, which crosses along the WE directon the Pisciarelli permanent mud pool and its main fumarole. The survey has been repeated bimonthly, adoptng a tmelapse approach useful to evaluate the possible influence of seasonal effects on the hydrothermal system. The comparison with temperature, geochemical data and rainfall rates allowed to separate the areas dominated by seasonal effects from areas where deeper injected gasses cumulate in the subsoil. Three further ERT surveys has been performed in order to reconstruct the main Pisciarelli structural setng and the relatonships between the main fractures and faults and the underground fluid circulaton. A mapping of the selfpotental anomaly for the whole SolfataraPisciarelli area has been also realized. The results of the performed electrical investgatons revealed the occurrence of zones characterized by intense and complex faultng and fracturing processes, affected by a strong fluid circulaton, whose actvity is also testfied by the presence of fumaroles at the surface and strong hydrothermal alteraton of the rocks.

Causes of ciclicity in lava dome eruptions
Antonio Costa
Isttuto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Sezione di Bologna, Italy
Modern geophysical data recorded during lava dome building eruptons show multple dominant periodicites, ranging from shortterm cycles, with tme scales of hours, to longterm cycles, with tme scales of years. Several models, which consider nonlinear dynamics of lava dome eruptons accountng for gas exsoluton, bubble growth, decompressioninduced crystallizaton, and effects of magma temperature variaton, have been proposed to explain the observed cyclicity in the last decade. These nonlinear dynamic models show that each of these dominant cycles can be basically atributed to different regions of the volcano plumbing system. Several studies indicate that shortterm cyclicity (hours to weeks) is modulated by the coupling between the shallowest and deeper parts of the conduit, with the lower region actng like a capacitor, allowing magma to be stored temporarily in order to be released during the intense phase of the erupton. Regarding longterm cycles (months to years), the periodicity is controlled mainly by the volume of the elastc magma chamber and intensity of magma influx rate. However, in presence of a shallow and a deep reservoir periodicity is also controlled by the degree of connectvity of between the two reservoirs. For a weak connectvity the overpressure in the lower chamber stays nearly constant during the cycle and the influx of fresh magma into the shallow chamber is also nearly constant. For a strong connectvity between the chambers their overpressure increases or decreases during the cycle in a synchronous way. Although real world systems are more complex and have many controlling parameters that may vary simultaneously, model results have important implicatons for the associated volcanic hazards assessments. A volcanic system may be quite predictable when it is within a stable regime, but may become inherently unpredictable when variatons in the parameters move the system towards transiton points and flow regime boundaries. This paper aims to review the state of the art of this topic and present perspectves for further improvements.

Effusion rate is the most relevant factor controlling the dynamics and evoluton of effusive eruptons, determining the emplacement conditons, length and morphology of lava flows. Accordingly, during the last decades, several efforts have been performed for the classificaton and interpretaton of effusion rate curves. Here we show the results associated with the systematc applicaton of a recently published numerical conduit model for studying the influence of magma source and feeding dike propertes on the main features of the resultng effusion rate curves (e.g., duraton, erupted mass, maximum and mean effusion rate). We show that the total erupted mass is mainly controlled by magma reservoir conditons prior to the erupton (i.e., magma reservoir size and inital overpressure), whereas conduit processes such as erosion by fluid shear stress along with reservoir propertes can significantly affect the mean effusion rate, and thus they dramatcally influence the erupton duraton. Simulatons reproduce a wide variety of effusion rate trends. These curves were classified in four groups using appropriate characterizaton and clustering techniques, which were associated with the different types of effusion rate curves described in the literature. Results agree with the traditonal explanaton of effusion rate curves and provide new insights for interpretng them, stressing the importance of magma reservoir dimensions, inital overpressure, and inital width of the feeding dike in controlling the effusion rate curve.

Basaltc eruptons are the most common form of volcanism on Earth and planetary bodies. The low viscosity of basaltc magmas generally favours effusive and mildly explosive volcanic actvity. Highly explosive basaltc eruptons occur less frequently and their erupton mechanism stll remains subject to debate [Szramek, 2016; Moitra et al., 2018], with implicatons for the significant hazard associated with explosive basaltc volcanism. Partcularly, highly explosive eruptons require magma fragmentaton, yet it is unclear how basaltc magmas can reach the fragmentaton threshold [Papale, 1999; Gonnermann, 2015]. In volcanic conduits, the crystallisaton kinetcs of an ascending magma are driven by degassing and cooling [Cashman and Blundy, 2000; La Spina et al., 2016]. So far, the crystallisaton kinetcs of magmas have been estmated through ex situ crystallizaton experiments. However, this experimental approach induces underestmaton of crystallizaton kinetcs in silicate melts. The crystallizaton experiments reported in this study were performed in situ at Diamond Light Source (experiment EE12392 at the I12 beamline), Harwell, UK, using basalt from the 2001 Etna erupton as the startng material. We combined a bespoke hightemperature environmental cell with fast synchrotron Xray microtomography to image the evoluton of crystallizaton in real tme. Afer 4 hours at subliquidus conditons (1170 °C and 1150 °C) the system was perturbed through a rapid cooling (0.4 °C/s), inducing a sudden increase of undercooling. Our study reports the first in situ observaton of exceptonally rapid plagioclase and clinopyroxene crystallisaton in trachybasaltc magmas. We combine these constraints on crystallisaton kinetcs and viscosity evoluton with a numerical conduit model to show that exceptonally rapid syneruptve crystallisaton is the fundamental process required to trigger basaltc magma fragmentaton under high strain rates. Our in situ experimental and natural observatons combined with a numerical conduit model allow us to conclude that preeruptve temperatures <1100°C favour the formaton of highly explosive basaltc eruptons, such as Plinian volcanism, driven by fast syneruptve crystal growth under a high undercooling and high decompression rates [Arzilli et al., 2019]. This implies that all the basaltc systems on Earth have the potental to produce powerful explosive eruptons.

Both high temperature and pressure isobaric and decompression experiments were performed on Stromboli LP magmas to shed light on magma ascent velocites (u) and on paroxysm incubaton mechanisms and tmescales. The decompression experiments mimic the ascent of LP magmas from their source region up to their intrusion in the HP magma. Either constant u (from 0.25 to 3 m/s) or variable (> 1 and < 1 m/s above and below 50 MPa respectvely) were imposed. All experiments started from a natural yellow pumice and three different melt H2O concentratons (~5, ~2.5, ~1 wt%) were investgated, CO2 being present (8001100 ppm) in the two less H2Orich melt series. Most decompression experiments yielded crystalfree glasses except the longest (8.3 h) at 1150°C which crystallized olivine and clinopyroxene. Thus, LP magmas must travel from their source region in < ~10 h corresponding to u > ~0.25 m/s (if assumed constant during ascent). Bubble number densites (BNDs) show the expected increase with increasing u and BNDs in yellow pumices are bracketed by 1.5 and 3 m/s ~2.5 melt series charges. In those, average bubble diameters (D) are lower than in yellow pumices but increase markedly with decreasing u. Natural bubble D are bracketed by 0.64 and 1 m/s ~2.5 melt series charges suggestng that u could decrease at shallow levels < 50 MPa. Most petrological estmates converge toward an average u of ~1 m/s for LP magmas, higher by >1 order of magnitude than geophysical estmates. LP magmas resided at shallow levels for no more than a few h before being erupted as estmated from widths of plagioclase reacton zones experimentally calibrated as a functon of tme. Paroxysm incubaton mechanisms include bubble growth and coalescence, bubble rise by buoyancy, generaton of a new populaton of small bubbles and fragmentaton. Fragmentaton textures range from fluidal to britle depending on the melt H2O content. Paroxysm incubaton involves generaton and overpressurizaton of a gasrich suspension and should closely follow (~1h) the arrival of a LP magma batch at shallow levels.

Midintensity explosive events frequently occur worldwide at volcanoes with intermediate to silicic magmas. Textural and compositonal features of the different types of pyroclastc fragments (from ash to bombsized) demonstrated to be very useful to get insights into the conduit processes that strongly control the dynamics of these eruptons. We present here data on a vulcanian to subplinian event occurred at Tungurahua volcano (Ecuador) on 1 February 2014, when three large explosions occurred at intervals of few minutes. These generated short lived sustained plumes between 4 and 8 km above the vent. The last erupton was the largest one and culminated with the formaton of pyroclastc density currents (PDC) that reached the base of the edifice, at about 8 km of distance from the vent. Four different types of block and bombs were found in the deposits of these PDC: dense fragments (D), breadcrust bombs (BCB), cauliflower bombs (CFB) and foliated, banded bombs (FB). The ejected bombs represent samples of different parts of the magma in the conduit and preserve informaton that can be used to infer parameters of preerupton magma ascent. Samples were analysed for their morphology, density, groundmass texture and compositon. All the different types of bombs have homogenous andesitc bulkrock compositons but different, highly evolved matrix glass compositons ranging from rhyolitc for BCB to dacitc for CFB and D, suggestng contrastng crystallizaton processes occurring within the conduit. These differences in groundmass glass compositon are also accompanied by important variatons in the textural characteristcs of each type of bomb, thus suggestng the importance of pre and syneruptve degassinginduced crystallizaton. Coupling all these observatons, we infer an explosive dynamics model for 1st February 2014 event for which a cyclical densificaton of the uppermost porton of the conduit allowed localised pressurizaton. The simultaneous ejecton of different types of bombs reflects the existence of crystallinity and volatle gradients into the conduit during magma ascent, which strongly controlled erupton dynamics.

Viscosity of volcanic products chiefly depends on compositonal factors of the magma. The silica content is the most prominent among these influencing factors, being silicon the most abundant element actng as network former in common natural magmas. Rheological behavior of basic magmas (i.e., SiO2 4552%) with viscosites around 10102 Pa s is therefore markedly different if compared with that of more evolved magmas (e.g., rhyolites with SiO2 7377% and viscosites of 105108 Pa s). Other elements, however, can have dramatc effects on the degree of polymerizaton of silicate magmas and on their final modes of emplacement, even when they are in minor concentratons. Among volatle elements, and halogens in partcular, fluorine produces strong depolymerizaton through the substtuton of F for oxygen via the exchange operator F2O 1, with effects becoming increasingly more pronounced for highly polymerized melts. Although the important role of fluorine has been so far recognized especially for the petrogenesis of basic magmas, dramatc rheological consequences also affect more evolved magmas. Indeed, fluorine is the most soluble elements among volatles, which means it has the opportunity to be exsolved only in part during magma ascent and remains concentrated into the residual melt with significant amounts even during syneruptve conditons. In this study, we have taken into consideraton the Laugahraun lava flow (Landmannalaugar, southern Iceland), which was erupted around 1477 AD from the Brennisteinsalda in the area of the Torfajökull volcanic center. Torfajökull is located at the intersecton between the Eastern Volcanic Zone (EVZ) and the South Iceland Seismic Zone (SISZ), and is characterized by one of the most impressive calderas (i.e., diameter of 18 km) among the Icelandic volcanoes. Although the obsidianaceous Laugahraun lava flow has rhyolitc compositon, it has an odd aspect rato if compared to other rhyolitc flows worldwide being characterized by megaropy lava structures that suggest peculiar rheological behavior during the emplacement. Ten samples from various portons of the lava flow have been therefore collected during the field survey conducted on July 2017, and they were investgated through XRF and mass spectrometry for what concerns the major and trace element abundances in order to verify the potental compositonal effects on the viscosity. In this regard, chlorine and fluorine concentratons have been also determined on the same samples, which were collected respectvely through standard XRF and Ion Selectve Electrode coupled with potassium hydroxide fusion. Both major and trace element concentratons are clustered within a narrow compositonal range (among LILE, Ba ca. 500 ppm; among HFSE, Zr ca. 650 ppm; among LREE, La ca. 80 ppm, Ce ca. 170 ppm; among MREE, Sm ca. 12 ppm, Eu ca. 2.5 ppm; among HREE, Yb ca. 6 ppm, Lu ca. 1 ppm). Fluorine concentratons span in the range 20002500 ppm, values about five tmes more than common values observed in rhyolitc products. Our data suggest that the rheological behavior of the rhyolitc lava flow of Laugarhaun in Landmannalaugar could have been influenced by the high content of fluorine stored into the melt structure. Importance of our findings consists in the determinaton of how compositonal factors can dramatcally affect the behavior of lava emplacement in specific setngs developing uncommon flow dynamics.

We relate this event to the collapse of a porton of the Caldera of “Il Piano”, as also suggested by the occurrence of a brecciated epiclastc deposit interbedded within the scoriae deposits. These data also agree with literature numerical simulatons, which predicts rapid increases in magma decompression and mass discharge rates at the onset of caldera collapses. Afer this major event, up to seven minor events of collapse have been registered by plagioclase crystals, finally leading to the southwesternmost volcano tectonic collapse of “Il Piano” caldera.

Preliminary data results on the pre-eruptive mechanisms and trigger of the Perciato eruptive sequence at Salina (Aeolian Islands, Italy)
Franco Cortese, Paola Donato, Eugenio Nicotra, Rosanna De Rosa
Università della Calabria, Italy
The island of Salina, located in the central porton of the Aeolian archipelago, is the final result of the superimpositons of several eruptve centers along a 230 ky tmespan. Each of them has a peculiar geochemical and petrographic signature and, consequently, specific eruptve dynamics and depositonal mechanisms. One of the most intriguing features of the island is the presence of two volcanic edifices, Fossa delle Felci and Porri volcanoes, having similar size, height and morphology: the similarity led the ancient Greek people to name the island “Dydyme”, i.e. the “Twin mountains”. These two volcanoes also experienced periods of contemporaneous actvity with different geochemical compositons of the emited products. The last phases of actvity of Porri volcano has been characterized by Strombolian actvity at its top, and by the emission of some lava flows which always reached the sea and are up to 50m thick in some flat areas. Afer a period of ca. 15 ky of rest, volcanic actvity started again on the lower western flank of the Porri volcano. During this period, three major eruptve events occurred, namely: I) Perciato and Faraglione (ca. 30 ky ago), II) Lower Pollara (ca. 27 ky ago) and Upper Pollara (ca. 15 ky ago). The present study focuses on the deposits of the Perciato eruptve unit, whose products form a ca. 50mthick sequence cropping out in the homonymous Punta di Perciato at Pollara and in the near Faraglione rock. The base of the volcanic sequence at Punta Perciato directly overlies one of the last lava flows of Porri volcano, and it is formed by a ca. 10mthick alternaton of poorly welded and unsorted Strombolian scoriae and thin lava flows, ofen brecciated. In its intermediate portons a pinktored altered tuffaceous layer crops out. The Perciato sequence contnues with a 20mthick lava flow, forming a spectacular rock arch at Punta di Perciato. This lava flow is surrounded by roof and top brecciated scoriae, and directly underlies the products of Lower Pollara. On the products of this volcanic sequence whole rock (XRF) analysis have been performed, together with textural and analytcal (EMPA) investgatons. Textural analysis and coretorim compositonal profile on plagioclases highlighted 5 different types of crystal textures, namely: 1) oscillatory zoning; 2) strongly resorbed cores; 3) coarsely sieved crystals; 4) resorbed envelops and 5) melt inclusion layers. Plagioclase crystals with oscillatory zoning, and flat compositonal profiles in terms of An and FeO, have been related to quiet crystallizaton processes in a basic magma reservoir located at intermediate crustal levels (< 11 km). Strongly resorbed cores and coarselysieved crystals are related to different ascent rates in waterundersaturated levels of the magmatc plumbing system. Resorbed envelops, which are characterized by an increase of the An content at relatvely constant FeO, have been explained with the crystallizaton of a more anorthitc porton of plagioclase due to the ingress of a new magma with a similar whole compositon of the resident one, but hoter and volatles richer (i.e., criptng mixing, an event of magma recharge in a closedconduit system). Finally, melt inclusion layers are classically related to rapid decompression, with a consequent fast growth of the crystals, which incorporate magma droplets. Once that the significance of each texture has been determined, we have defined the abundance 147 148 MISCELLANEA INGV n. 52 devoted totherecogniton of allthepreeruptve mechanismsandof their tmescales. which were quietly residing andcrystallizing at mildly crustallevels.

Iceland is the subaerial expression of the MidAtlantc Ridge (MAR), along which the Eurasian and North American plates are moving apart at about 20 mm per year. Here, the spreading plate boundary volcanism is complicated by the interacton with an inferred mantle plume. The major volcanic lineaments in Iceland are represented by an axial zone, which is delineated by the Reykjanes (RVZ), the Western (WVZ), the Northern (NVZ) and the Eastern Volcanic Zone (EVZ), running westward from the east coast. These zones are connected across central Iceland by the MidIceland Belt (MIB). The EVZ includes many volcanic systems, some of which were partcularly actve in historical tmes. These are the Vestmanneyjar islands, Hekla, Torfajökull, Eyjafallajökull, Katla and Grimsvötn. In this study, we used published geophysical and petrological data to reconstruct the depth of the Moho beneath the EVZ varying from ca. 20 to 25 km b.s.l. [Tarasewicz et al., 2012; Matson, 2003; Darbyshire, 2000], as well as to define the spatal distributon of the major magmatc storage zones below the EVZ volcanoes. The deepest magmatc reservoir below the recently actve Vestmanneyjar Islands (Surtsey and Heimaey) is at 3035 km, whereas two shallower reservoirs were detected at ca. 20 km and 1015 km through seismic and magnetotelluric methods [Gebrande, 1980; Matsson, 2005]. Ground deformaton data indicate that the volcanic actvity at Hekla, which is located between the EVZ and the South Icelandic Seismic Zone (SISZ), is fed by a 24 kmdeep magmatc source. One of the most complex storage systems, made up by multple reservoirs at variable differentaton degrees, has been recognized at Eyjafallajökull volcano. Here, the plumbing system extends from ca. 24 km bsl up to 5 km below the summit crater (Sigmundsson, 2010). The Icelandic lithospheric crust gets thicker to 25 km beneath the Grimsvötn Laki and the Barðarbunga systems in the southeastern part of the island. The Grimsvötn Laki system is characterized by several magma batches distributed between 30 and 1 km below the summit, which have been selectvely reactvated during the historic Laki erupton (178384). The Barðarbunga volcanic system is characterized by two deep basaltc reservoirs, with distnct EMORB and NMORB signature, and by several shallower batches distributed between 2022 km and 10 km b.s.l. Beneath Katla volcano, seismic investgatons allowed the identficaton of a single magma reservoir at depth of ca. 23 km [Oladotr et al., 2008]. Depths of magma reservoirs related to the EVZ volcanic systems have been also correlated with FeMg diffusion modelling calculatons in olivine crystals with the aim to provide a picture of how mechanisms of magma storage and transfer changed along the EVZ, and how they could be influenced by volcano tectonics. Results indicate rather homogeneous tmescales of magma migraton along the EVZ, which are on the order of 3040 days for magmas rising up from the upper mantle. Moreover, our petrological data suggest that mechanisms of magma supply are mainly governed by volcano tectonics. This statement is based on the almost totally absence of reverselyzoned olivines associated to the deepest storage zones. Contrariwise, we have evidence of mixing processes involving the slightly more evolved and shallower reservoirs, which 149 150 MISCELLANEA INGV n. 52 should rely onadeepawareness of magmasupply dynamicsthroughout thecrust. the WVZ are alsoexpected for aproper reassessment of the volcanic riskinIceland, which Future investgaton of processes of magmamigraton andevoluton alsoalongtheNVZand occur with tmescalesontheorder of 12 weeks.

Unravelling the rates and tmescales of crustal magma transfer, storage, emplacement, and erupton is of paramount importance to beter understand subvolcanic processes, characterizing volcanic hazards, and developing mitgaton strategies. Here, we review the most relevant open questons in this field. Results highlight long storage tmescales in deep (i.e., ~2030 km) crustal hot zones. Estmated ascent velocites from deep reservoirs to shallower systems span a range of ~10 orders of magnitude, being a functon of the thermo physical parameters of the ascending magma (e.g., density, viscosity, and overpressures in the reservoirs) and the host rocks. At mid to upper crustal levels (i.e., ~1520 km), we elucidate the paradigm of cold storage of magma mushes, which can be unlocked during shortterm events to form ephemeral magma chambers. Unlocking tmescale estmates range from minutes to kyrs, indicatng a variability of about ~8 to ~10 orders of magnitude. This large variaton results from the interplay among many processes, ofen nonlinearly coupled, occurring before an erupton. For example, exsolved volatle species have a significant role in controlling pre eruptve dynamics and relatve tmescales. They increase the buoyancy of magmas, affect phase equilibria, promote convectve dynamics, and may ultmately trigger eruptve events. As a consequence, understanding the role of volatles in subvolcanic magmatc processes, including ascent rates, storage mechanisms, and relatve tmescales, will be paramount for future studies.

1Università di Roma Tre, Italy 2Clausthal University of Technology, Germany
The study of the thermal evoluton of pyroclasts is fundamental for the understanding of volcanological processes. For instance, the thermal evoluton of pyroclastc density currents directly influences their final run out distance. Similarly, the heat transfer between hot partcles and colder ambient air in a convectve plume strongly controls the cloud evoluton. Since the heat amount available in the system strongly impacts on deposit characteristcs, the study of pyroclastc material is fundamental to get informaton on their thermal history and ultmately reconstruct eruptve dynamics. In the last decade, few studies dealt with relaxaton geospeedometry techniques using a Differental Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) on volcanic materials. This methodology allows to access the thermal history of glassy phases, by revealing the kinetcs of cooling across the glass transiton. Common DSC devices explore limited cooling rates (below 0.5 K/s) and ofen need large extrapolatons to be applied to cooling rates affectng natural pyroclastc materials. In this study we introduce the use of a new device, the FlashDSC, only applied so far in the field of material sciences. Through flash DSC analysis it is possible to widely increase the investgated cooling rates ranging from 3 to 30000 K/s. Therefore, it represents a major improvement for the study of fast and hyperquenched glasses, and beter captures the cooling rates experienced by volcanic materials following both subaerial and submarine eruptons. We conducted FlashDSC tests using the socalled “unified areamatching approach”. This methodology uses two heatng cycles performed at the same heatng rate (in this case 1000 K/s). The second cycle is a coolingheatng matching cycle (always at 1000 K/s). The area difference between measured heat capacites of the two cycles can be used to determine the fictve temperature of the naturallycooled glass. A simple relaton links the fictve temperature to melt viscosity and cooling rate across glass transiton. Therefore, if the viscosity is known, the cooling rate can be retrieved. Preliminary analysis on standard and synthetc glasses (DGG1, Diopside and Phosphate) allowed to model successfully cooling rates up to 1000 K/s representng a remarkable improvement for relaxaton geospeedometry methodology, with promising implicatons for the study of volcanological processes and materials, which will be the object of future investgatons.

Magma - Wall-rock interaction: short term chemical & physical processes and their effects on eruption dynamics

The interacton of magma with wallrock is an unavoidable process within the Earth’s system. From the generaton of the magmas in their source regions and their migraton through dykes, sills and conduits, untl their final ascent to the Earth’s surface, magmas are interactng with the surrounding solid country rock. The most common effects of magma wallrock interacton is the erosion of wallrock, and therefore changes in the geometry of the feeding dyke and the volcanic conduit, and the release of fluid phases through physical or chemical interacton, e.g.
CO2release during carbon assimilaton. Stll the interactons of magma with wallrock are comparably underinvestgated, mostly due to the lack of direct observability of the physical and chemical processes involved. Experiments at atmospheric pressure were conducted with natural magma and carbonate samples from the Avellino erupton of Mt. SommaVesuvius (3945 ± 10yr cal BP), Italy. We plan two different experiments: in the first, a carbonate wallrock was placed in a crucible and covered with magma; in the second, we added the carbonate wallrock to the magma already being in the crucible. The relatve amounts of CO2 staying dissolved in the magma, in the bubbles and being outgassed were quantfied and the samples were analysed with microtomography. Previous studies on longterm interactons suggest that the carbon assimilaton rate (i.e. how fast a carbonate wallrock can be assimilated) is mainly dependent on the viscosity of the magma.
For relatvely high viscosites, the release of CO2 can lead to local overpressurizaton of bubbles eventually leading to more pulsatng and gasdriven explosions. For relatvely low viscous magmas the CO2bubble transfer is more effectve eventually sustaining an explosive erupton. There are field evidences that even very shorttme interactons (i.e. seconds to minutes) of magma and carbonate wallrock can lead to increased vesiculaton and therefore significantly influence important erupton parameters like degassing, rheology and magma ascent dynamics. The study of the physical and chemical interacton processes is therefore important for hazard assessment.

We present a detailed study on the effects of cooling rate and shear rate on the crystallizaton kinetcs and rheological evoluton of a phonotephrite magma. Experiments were designed to mimic the dynamic conditons experienced by natural flowing lava through controlled cooling rate and shear rate conditons in a concentric cylinder setup. Startng from a superliquidus state, a series of dynamic experiments were performed under: i) different cooling rates (from 1°C/min to 20°C/min) at constant shear rate (5 s1) and ii) variable shear rates (from 0.1 s1 to 20 s1) at constant coolingrate (1°C/min). All experiments were terminated at various degree of undercooling related to the different experimental conditons, when the cutoff temperature
(Tcutoff) representng the magma complete solidificaton (i.e., “rheological death”) or britle response was reached. In controlled coolingrate experiments, a minimum of 10°C/min is needed to actvate crystallizaton. At higher cooling rates > 10°C/min) crystallizaton is suppressed due to strong disequilibrium (unrelaxed) melt conditons. At lower coolingrates (from 1 to 10°C/min) the onset of crystallizaton and viscoustobritle transiton occur at higher temperature with decreasing cooling rate value. In controlled shear rate experiments, the effect of strring strongly promotes crystallizaton by shortening nucleaton incubaton tme. As a consequence, crystallizaton onset and viscousto britle transiton is achieved at higher temperature (only for strain rates >1 s1). Results indicate that both thermal and deformaton histories exert a primary control on the kinetcs of the crystallizaton process, on the magma rheological evoluton and hence modulate the lava flow capability. In partcular, both strain and cooling rates play a fundamental role on the viscous/britle threshold that is responsible, for instance, of the transiton of lava surface morphology from pahoehoe to aa.

Redox estimates through trace elements partitioning: application on two Italian volcanoes

Redox conditons of magmas sources can be considered as one of the most complex issues of petrology [Carmichael, 1991; Evans, 2012]. Oxygen fugacity (fO2) controls the speciaton and behaviour of multvalent elements (i.e. Fe2+ and Fe3+) during mantle meltng and mineral crystallizaton. The strong dependence of the vanadium parttoning between olivine and silicate melt on redox conditons is demonstrated by many studies [Canil, 1997; Canil and Fedortchouk, 2000; Davis et al., 2013; Laubier et al., 2014; Mallmann and O’Neill, 2009, 2013; Shishkina et Ol/melt al., 2018; Wang et al., 2019], and it allows to use the vanadium partton coefficient (DV ) as sensitve oxybarometer in magmatc systems. With the objectve to compare the redox conditons of the mantle associated to different geodynamic systems, we applied available oxybarometers, involving vanadium, to two basaltc products: FS erupton from Mt. Etna [Coltelli et al., 2000, 2005; Kamenetsky et al., 2007; Correale et al., 2014] and Vateliero erupton (VAT) from Ischia Island [D’Antonio et al., 2013; Moret et al., 2013]. These two eruptons, dated 4000 (FS) and < 2600 (VAT) years B.P., respectvely, have been selected as considered among the most primitve of the studied volcanic systems. Being the olivine crystals in equilibrium with the magma from which have been crystallized, the measurements of the olivinemelt partton of vanadium allowed us to trace the redox conditons existng when the olivine crystals were formed. To achieve this goal, extensive analysis of the major and trace components of olivine and melt inclusions were conducted by Electron Probe MicroAnalyzer at the Insttut des Sciences de la Terre d’Orléans (ISTO) and by LAICPMS technique at the Isttuto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) Palermo. Our results suggest that the average redox conditons of Mt. Etna magma source atest at NNO+1.8 (±0.25) (where NNO is a NiNiO oxygen buffer and the numbers refer to the log units of fO2 deviaton from the buffer). These results are in according to previous works where NNO>+1 was reconstructed by Crspinel compositon [Kamenetsky and Clocchiat, 1996] or S6+/Stot up to NNO+1.8 [Métrich et al., 2009]. Ischia results show more oxidized conditons than Etna, as expected for subductonrelated magmas [Mungall, 2002; Kelley and Cotrell, 2009; Brounce et al., 2014]. Indeed, compared to the typical intraplate magmatsm, slabderived components containing H2O should oxidize the source mantle wedge. Results obtained for the source of Ischia magmas are atested at NNO+2.1 (±0.3) and are comparable to those from a previous work [NNO+2 up to NNO+3; Moret et al., 2013].

Boron is among those light elements that are considered to act as contaminants of the Earth’s mantle through metasomatc fluids [Palmer and Swihart, 1996; De Hoog and Savov, 2017]. The presence and abundance of boron in fluids has been widely related to its incorporaton and abundance in serpentnite rocks [Tenthorey et al., 2004], hydrous minerals like phengite [Hermann et al. 2013] and lawsonite [Vitale Brovarone et al., 2014] through breakdown processes during subducton. However, the finding of tourmaline within assemblages of UHP metamorphic [Lussier et al., 2016; Korsakov et al., 2019] rocks suggests a possible role of borosilicate minerals in the origin of Brich fluids at high pressure and temperature. Tourmaline from metamorphic assemblages can contain up to ~14 wt% B2O3 (i.e. > 80 wt% of the whole rock B), ~4 wt% H2O and ~2 wt% F, representng an important carrier of volatle elements. In this study we explored the possibility that Brich fluids might form as consequence of redox driven decompositon of tourmaline at high pressure and temperature. We investgated the structural stability of natural schorl tourmaline with ~19 wt% FeO. The experiments were performed using the Walkertype mult anvil press (840t) at a fixed pressure of 1 atm, 3.5 and 6 GPa and temperatures between 5001000 °C with duraton between 2 and
10 hrs. The fo2 in these experiments was internally buffered by adding 20 wt% of either Re+ReO2
(1:1 mole rato) or Ag2C2O4 and graphite. The recovered quenched products were then polished and analysed by scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe and Xray (powder?) diffracton for both textural and chemical characterizaton. Our preliminary data show a gradual decrease schorl within the investgated experimental conditons, resultng into a gradual increase of Si and Fe as consequence of the crystallizaton of new tourmaline, unknown volatlebearing phases and Alrich phases also like kyanite, mullite, corundum and almandine garnet as a functon of increasing temperature. Additonal phases like Ferich jadeitc pyroxenes might form as result of oxidaton of Fe2+ to Fe3+ of the startng material. Our experiments provide an experimental evidence of the gradual release of water and B through structural weakening of Ferich tourmaline and offer an alternatve explanaton regarding the origin of Brich fluids at local scale upon subducton at high pressure and temperature.

Mount Vulture is a Pleistocenic volcanic complex located in the southern part of the Apennine chain (Italy). Its last erupton occurred ~140ka ago. Its products have peculiar petrologic characteristcs, not least the trace element patern and isotopic features that are intermediate between intraplate and subductonrelated signatures. Hence, its magmatsm is different from Italian Quaternary volcanoes that are characterized by affinites related to subducton. Furthermore, it is located at the eastern border of the Apenninic front far from periTyrrhenian volcanoes and its origin and magmatsm are mater of debate [Peccerillo, 2017 and references therein]. The differences between Mt. Vulture magmatsm and periTyrrhenian ones could be justfied by different magmatc sources feeding volcanism in the Italian peninsula. Here we are going to discuss about new helium (He) isotope data, together with the Ne and Ar isotopic signature, in fluid inclusion of pyroxenes and olivine phenocrysts of most the Mt. Vulture volcanites, in order to constrain the features of the mantle source during its eruptve history. The 3He/4He rato of the samples varies from 2.83 to 6.74 Ra (Ra is the 3He/4He in atmosphere, 1.39x106) and the 4He/40Ar rato varies from 0.63 to 33.16. This variability has been interpreted as subductontype effect or heterogeneity of the mantle source [Caracausi et al., 2013]. Ne isotopic signatures overlap the air compositon and some samples show Ar isotopic signature different from air. Magmatc processes (e.g., diffusive fractonaton and magmatc degassing) can also explain the variability of the 3He/4He rato and of the noble gases relatve abundance (e.g., 4He/40Ar). Indeed, the degassing process, the outgassing process combined with the mass dependent fractonaton, afer volatle trapping and during magma residence in the plumbing system prior to erupton, can produce variatons in the 3He/4He and 4He/40Ar*. This can occur during disequilibrium opensystem degassing of the eruptng magma He and Ar diffusion through the phenocrysts within subsolidus magma conditons. Several studies have previously modelled He isotope fractonaton due to the faster diffusion of 3He than 4He, moreover both of them are faster in the diffusion than Ar (temperaturedependent process). Assuming an Arrhenius temperature dependence, a slight He isotopic fractonaton can be observed (up to 15% at 1200°C) [Trull and Kurz,1993] and by vacancy diffusion mechanisms theory, the Ar diffuses up to 3.16 tmes slower than helium. Using the same approach, we calculate the fracton of lost He and the effect on the 3He/4He and on 4He/40Ar. Calculated values well fit with unique mantel source can explain the high variability of 3He/4He at Vulture volcano.

Since many years, the study of products associated to ashdominated eruptons has grown contnuously. Morphological and textural features of volcanic ash are considered as an important tool to investgate the dynamics of explosive actvity, partcularly that characterized by high transients both in style and intensity. Ash features like shape and internal texture of grains are proved to efficiently record changes in magma propertes, from its ascent into the conduit untl fragmentaton, and give firsthand insights onto the dynamics controlling the fragmentaton mechanisms. Secondary processes, like the prolonged transport into volcanic clouds, or intra crateric recycling of juvenile material, are important in modifying the ash features, and their effects are ofen superimposed on the original matrix. The recent actvity of Sakurajima volcano (Japan), lastng almost contnuously from 1959, is well known for being characterized by hightransients both in style and intensity of the eruptve actvity, and for this reason it was selected here as a casestudy to investgate the relatons between the styles of actvity and the processes of ash formaton. Cycles of vulcanian explosions commonly repeat at Sakurajima, startng with contnuous and low intensity ash puffing to weak ash emission not associated to explosive actvity, followed by ash dominated, strong Vulcanian explosions and closed by prolonged phase of ash ventng. At present, these cycles are generally repeatng at a rate of 1 or 2 large explosions every few days. To understand the complex relatons existng between the eruptve dynamics and the conduit processes controlling the erupton, we investgated the texture and the external shape of thousands of ash fragments resultng from the whole cycle of a large vulcanian explosion observed at Sakurajima volcano during 2014. The resultng ash samples have been analyzed and compared in order to understand the mechanisms controlling ash formaton and the eruptve dynamics as well. The links existng between the intraeruptve dynamics and magma fragmentaton processes have been discussed analyzing the variatons of the main physical characteristcs of the ash during the different eruptve phases. As a result, the large database of morphotextural informaton on ash allowed us to interpret the observed eruptve dynamics in terms of the conduit processes that accompanied the erupton during the different phases of the vulcanian cycle. These appeared as mainly regulated by the contnuous degassing and consequent pressure accumulaton at the top of a rigid and viscous magma column, whose upper portons tend to be destructed and partally removed during stronger vulcanian explosions.

Mt. Etna, located on the east coast of Sicily (Italy), is one of the most actve volcanoes in Europe. The most distnctve phenomena associated with the actvity of Etna are represented by lava fountain paroxysms generatng volcanic plumes, sometmes characterized by a significant tephra discharge rate (e.g., [Andronico et al., 2015; Corsaro et al., 2017]). Paroxysms at Etna mostly consist of sustained jets of fluid lava, propelled into the atmosphere from summit craters or lateral vents and driven by expanding gases, which commonly occur at basaltc volcanoes [Calvari et al., 2011]. The coeval magma fragmentaton gives rise to tephra plumes ascending to alttudes up to 15 km a.s.l. Weather radar scanning systems can be exploited to monitor a volcanic plume in 3D, measuring the reflectvity due to small lapilli and coarse ash at a fairly high spatal resoluton (less than a few hundred meters) and every few minutes [Marzano et al., 2006 a, b]. Weather radars can provide data for estmatng the plume tephra volume, total mass and height using the volcanic ash radar retrieval (VARR) method for single and dualpolarizaton systems at S, C and X band [Marzano et al., 2013; Marzano et al., 2016; Mereu et al., 2015]. A Doppler fixedpointng radar at L band (VOLDORAD2B), oriented towards the volcano summit craters, is able to follow the plume column dynamics in real tme at high rate (0.2 s) providing both tephra power returns and Doppler velocites mainly due to lapilli and bombs [Donnadieu et al., 2012; 2015; 2016]. A primary objectve of modern volcanology is the quantficaton of the magnitude and the intensity of an erupton in order to characterize both erupton and plume dynamics and beter forecast tephra dispersal and sedimentaton. Typically, an early erupton detecton and forecast of the tephra plume dispersion can be released within few minutes to a few hours of an erupton, when the scanning radar is operatng near the volcanic source, exploitng the radar ability to probe the area affected by the volcanic explosion. Groundbased weather radar systems can also provide data for determining the ash volume, total mass, and height of erupton clouds [Marzano et al., 2012]. In this work, we analyse two Etna paroxysms that occurred in 2013 and 2015 and observed by the Xband MWR (Microwave Weather Radar) and Lband VDR (VOLDORAD2B; Donnadieu et al., [2016]) radars: i) the explosive actvity of 23 November 2013 from the NSEC and lasted for about an hour.

Volcanic emissions represent a wellknown hazard mainly for aviaton safety that can be reduced with real tme observatons and characterizaton of eruptve actvity [Boselli et al., 2018]. In recent years, lidar system has been widely used to study volcanic aerosol clouds produced by major volcanic eruptons [Pisani et al., 2012]. Lidar techniques are a powerful method for monitoring the dispersion of a volcanic cloud in the atmosphere because of their profiling capability at very high range resoluton. Lidar observatons can provide plume geometrical propertes (i.e., top, botom, and thickness), aerosol dynamics, and microphysical propertes if advanced multwavelength Raman Lidar systems are used [Winker, 2003]. Using the depolarizaton channel, it is also possible to distnguish various shapes of ash partcles [Gasteiger et al., 2011; Gobbi et al., 1992; Mereu et al., 2018]. The capability of Lidar systems to detect the finest partcles in volcanic plume and reliably estmate the ash concentraton mainly depends on instrumental characteristcs and the type of explosive actvity. For typical groundbased dualpolarized lidars, the evaluaton of the aerosol backscatering and depolarizaton coefficients may be carried out only in those regions where the lidar signal is not extnguished inside the volcanic plume optcal thickness. In this work, we analysed the explosive actvity produced in the afernoon of 18 May 2016 at Mt. Etna, in Italy, from the New South East Crater (NSEC). Lidar measurements were performed in Catania, about 30 km from the Etna summit, pointng at a thin volcanic layer, clearly visible and dispersed from the summit craters at the alttude of 34 km above sea level. Both the aerosol backscatering and the calibrated partcle linear depolarizaton values profiles at 355 nm and 532 nm of wavelength, respectvely, were obtained using different pointng elevaton angles 20, 30, 40 and 90 degrees. This is the first study that combines dualpolarized lidar measurements at Etna volcano. The MaximumLikelihood (ML) and MultRegressive (MR) approaches are implemented in this analysis in order to check the potentality and differences of both methods, retrieving the mean diameter and concentraton retrievals. Our methods show encouraging results and can improve the estmaton of volcanic ash concentraton in atmosphere.

The monitoring of volcanic eruptons has been greatly improved thanks to the technological advances of remote sensing systems. Nowadays, the real tme monitoring of volcanic eruptons offers a powerful tool for the risks mitgaton on local populaton and airspace, as also for the analysis of the processes connected with the preparatory phase of an erupton. In partcular, the use of geostatonary satellites in the thermal infrared spectral range, gives the unique opportunity to follow the entre evoluton of a volcanic event during both day and night. Moreover, the higher sensitvity of polar satellite and ground based systems, improves the reliability of the quanttatve estmatons and gives a comprehensive characterizaton of the phenomena investgated. On the morning of 24th December 2018, the explosive actvity at the summit craters of Mt. Etna suddenly increased and an eruptve fracture opened at the base of the South East crater. The erupton produces a volcanic cloud that dispersed southeastwards of the volcano. The explosive th regime decreased in the late afernoon of the 24 but a significant SO2 and ash emission contnues untl 30th December. The overall event has been monitored, in near real tme, by SEVIRI on board the MSG geostatonary satellite. The SEVIRI measurements allowed the detecton of the volcanic clouds, the estmaton of the volcanic cloud height, ash mass, aerosol optcal depth and effectve radius, SO2 mass and fluxes. The results indicate a volcanic cloud alttude at about 8 km asl the 24th December and between 4 to 5.5 km for the rest of the period. The volcanic cloud ash and SO2 were totally collocated with an ash amount generally lower than th SO2, except during the paroxystc phase the 24 December. A total amount of 4 and 2.5 Mt of
SO2 and ash respectvely were emited during the entre eruptve period, and the fluxes reaches peaks of more than 500 kg/s and 200 kg/s for SO2 and ash respectvely. All the products have been compared with the retrievals obtained from ground based and satellite systems. The SEVIRI volcanic cloud alttudes have been compared with the results obtained from the ground based
VIS camera operatng in Catania while SO2/ash masses and fluxes tme series have been validated with the results carried out from the ground based FLAME network and the satellite measurements collected by the NASATerra/AquaMODIS and Sentnel5pTROPOMI polar systems. The analysis indicates good agreement between the satellite and ground based retrievals demonstratng the ability of SEVIRI to characterize the eruptve events in near real tme.

Atmospheric modelling is a useful tool to study and forecast atmospheric compositon and the atmospheric evoluton of natural and anthropogenic pollutant emissions. It allows to study large scale events such as dust storms or volcanic eruptons, which emit large amounts of plume confined partculate mater and gases that can be transformed and transported in the atmosphere over hundreds of kilometers. However, to study more precisely these events, different issues have to be addressed. One notable example of these issues is the wellknown excessive numerical diffusion in the Eulerian models; this needs to be dealt with in order to avoid excessive plume dispersion, which can cause a misrepresentaton of the plume three dimensional morphology and subsequent geographical extent of its impacts. This work focuses on a partcular erupton case of March 2012 from the Mount Etna volcano (Sicily, Italy), which released about 3kT of sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere. This plume has been observed and tracked with satellite instruments for several days. Nevertheless, the numerical simulaton of this plume, with CHIMERE atmospheric chemistrytransport model, proved difficult due to the mentoned issue with numerical diffusion. Thus, we have included a new antdiffusive transport scheme in the vertcal directon and a new strategy to be able to use directly the vertcal wind field provided by the forcing meteorological model, and not a reconsttuted wind field as it is the common approach in chemistrytransport models. With these improvements, we were able to more satsfactorily simulate the dispersion of the volcanic plume for this event. In this talk, we examine and quantfy the improvement brought by these two new developments into a stateofthe art chemistrytransport model, as well as the effect of an increase in the number of model vertcal levels. In additon, sensitvity tests have been performed to evaluate the impact on volcanic plume injecton alttude and its inital spreading profile (single alttude emission; FWHM =100m; FWHM=200m). Tests on alttude plume injecton have shown alttude to be the most sensitve parameter, and allowed us to start our developments with a realistc volcanic emissions representaton. In oppositon, tests on plume vertcal profile shape for the injecton in the atmospheric column have shown that the simulatons are weakly sensitve to this parameter. The use of the new antdiffusive vertcal scheme, instead of the classical vertcal scheme, has been shown to bring the strongest improvement in our model outputs. To a lesser extent, a more realistc representaton of the vertcal wind field has also been shown to reduce plume spreading. In summary, we show that these two improvements (beter vertcal scheme and vertcal wind representaton) bring an improvement in the representaton of the plume which is as strong as the improvement brought by a brutalforce approach (i.e. increasing the number of vertcal 187 188 MISCELLANEA INGV n. 52 This work isalsopartof theFrench fundedproject DGA TROMPET. levels), but without anadditonal burden incomputatonal power.

Strombolian explosions are intermitent mild eruptons ejectng variable proportons of bombs, ash, and gas. Recent measurements have shown that the SO2 flux during such explosions starts impulsively (duraton, 15 to 30 s) and decays with a minuteslong coda, abd that partcles ejectons fluctuate at even shorter tmescales. Common UV camera systems measure SO2 fluxes at about 1 Hz and can potentally lose significant gas variatons during explosions. Here we developed a portable UV camera system that can measure SO2 volcanic flux with a temporal resoluton up to about 50 Hz. We tested this new system at Stromboli in May 2019 in tandem with highspeed thermal infrared and visible imagery. Our new, high temporal resoluton SO2 flux measurements provide beter understanding of the complex, highly dynamic processes of Strombolian explosive actvity.

A detailed rockmagnetc study was carried out on ash samples produced by different types of Etna explosive actvity to test the use of the magnetc propertes as discriminatng factors among them. Samples include tephra belonging to: • Plinian Biancavilla erupton (Y1 tephra; age 1618 ka) collected in marine core ET9770 (Jonian Sea); • subPlinian basaltc eruptons of late Holocene age (TV, FS, FL, FG layers + other sub Plinian deposits) collected in outcrops on the volcano flanks; • recent explosive actvity (19902002) including few samples belonging to ashrich jets and plumes ejected during the OctoberDecember 2002 [Andronico et al., 2009].
To beter discriminate the magnetc propertes of the explosive disintegraton of newly erupted magma, the two end members of the juvenile ash, tachylite (microliterich) and sideromelane (glassy clasts), were separated from recent ashes (2002 erupton) and from the old FG tephra (122 BC Plinian erupton). The samples are characterized by coercivity of the remanence (Bcr) to coercivity (Bc) ratos ranging from 2 to 6, defining three main groups according to the positon in their DayDunlop plot. These groups represent variable magnetc grain sizes corresponding to the old, historical and recent actvity. Thermomagnetc curves indicate that Tirich ttanomagnettes with Curie temperatures <300°C dominates the recent ashes and samples collected from the Y1 tephra. On contrary magnette or Tipoor ttanomagnette (Tc ~ 540570°C) occur in most of the late Holocene tephra (TV, FS, FL) suggestng minor or missing Tisubsttuton for this class of samples. Only the FG tephra (122 BC) escapes to this figure and highlights the prominent presence of ttanomagnette. The presence of this mineral masks the Verwey transiton in low temperature experiments. Concentraton related magnetc parameters (magnetc susceptbility, ARM, SIRM) of the samples belonging to the Y1 tephra clearly recognize the stratgraphy of the Unit D (D1a D2aD1bD2b) observed in the fallout deposits of the Biancavilla erupton [Coltelli et al., 2000]. A significant peculiarity in the studied samples is given by the presence of waspwaisted hysteresis loops in the recent ashes (including the tachylite) whereas only the plinian FG tephra among the old tephra exhibits similar loops that can depend on two magnetc components with contrastng grain sizes or coercivites. The later is supported by the FORC diagrams where the Bc distributon spreads up to 0.2T, pointng out the presence of a harder magnetc fracton. However, Mossbauer data carried out at low (20K) and room temperature (300K) do not show the presence of antferromagnetc minerals. The scatering within the Day plot of the samples belonging to the recent actvity could be the result of the intense fragmentaton that usually characterizes the most explosive volcanic explosions.

The site of Santa Venera al Pozzo, on the lower east flank of Mt. Etna volcano, near the town of Acireale, is known for its slightly thermalized, mineralrich water springs since antquity. The site was interpreted by scholars as a Roman “stato”, mainly composed of a thermal bath with different pools and some other GreekRoman buildings. The study area is affected by several tectonic faults; actually, some archeological ruins are affected by remarkable fractures probably related to the AD 251 earthquake, suggestng the occurrence of a capable fault zone through the area. Recent studies have shown that significant soil CO2 emissions occur both from the major faults and diffusely around the main thermal water springs, thus suggestng a faultdriven migraton of geothermal fluids. In order to study possible influences of strain release on the output or on the chemistry of the emited fluids, we setup a monitoring system that measures in contnuum water temperature and the chemical compositon of the free gas released from water in a drilling made near the main water spring. Water temperature was measured using a Tynitag Plus2 sensor/datalogger, setng an acquisiton frequency every 15 min. The gases emited are a mix of air, methane, carbon dioxide, ethane and sometmes hydrogen sulfide. The chemical and isotopic compositon of the emited fluids suggest that these are fluids that do not have a volcanic origin. Methane, which is the most abundant gaseous species, has a thermogenic origin, carbon dioxide has an organic origin while the presence of hydrogen sulfide is related to the increase of methane concentratons. Variatons in the chemical compositon were realized with a CMS (cromatography monitoring staton) that allows the analysis of natural gases (every 30’) with high sensitvity and accuracy. During the acquisiton period variatons in the chemical compositon were observed on some occasions and in partcular before, during and afer the earthquake of 12/26/2018 related to a kinematc tectonic stress that produced a greater permeability and a consequent greater release of fluids. In partcular, before the earthquake the methane displayed a sharp increase, while on the occasion of the seismic event a doubling of concentratons was observed. Hydrogen sulfide is present before and shortly afer the seismic event is well correlated with methane concentratons. It can be hypothesized that both species are related to a hydrothermal system and the measured concentratons are modulated by the emited gas flow. Hydrogen sulphide generally, due to its high solubility in water, is removed from the interacton by a superficial aquifer present in the area of the thermal spring while its presence is detected when the gas flow increase and it is only partally dissolved in water.

Volcanic and hydrothermal areas are sites of intense diffuse soil degassing, largely contributng to natural emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) to the atmosphere. While deep magmatc and hydrothermal sources sustain the rise of CO2 and CH4rich fluids towards the surface, the effectve fracton of deepsourced gases able to escape to the atmosphere through diffuse soil degassing is largely affected by secondary processes occurring at relatvely shallow depths. Although posing challenges to life, hydrothermalized soils stll harbor a variety of microbes (i.e. extremophiles) able to take advantage of the harsh conditons offered by solfataric fields. For instance, the occurrence of methanotrophic actvity in soils from hydrothermal areas, documented by several authors, could virtually control and limit the emission of GHGs from volcanic and hydrothermal systems. In order to evaluate the impact of shallow biogeochemical processes on diffuse gas emissions, chemical and carbon (in CO2 and CH4) isotopic compositons of intersttal soil gases, as well as diffuse CO2 fluxes, from three hydrothermal systems in Italy (i. Solfatara Crater, Campi Flegrei; ii. Monterotondo Maritmo, Larderello geothermal field; iii. Baia di Levante, Vulcano Island) were investgated. Despite being characterized by a large supply of hydrothermal fluids, as indicated by soil CO2 fluxes up to 2400, 1920 and 346 g m2 day1, 13 respectvely, CO2 enrichments were recognized in intersttal soil gases with respect to fumarolic fluids, suggestng the occurrence of autotrophic CO2 fixaton processes in the soil 13 system. On the other hand, soil gases were enriched in CH4 and characterized by higher
CO2/CH4 ratos with respect to those recorded in fumarolic discharges, pointng to the occurrence of CH4 consumpton by methanotrophic actvity, as supported by isotope fractonaton modeling. The geochemical evidences confirmed the key role that methanotrophs play in regulatng the release of GHGs from volcanic and hydrothermal environments.

Furthermore, the monitoring of chemicalphysical parameters of the groundwater indicates an increased input of gases from deep origin which produced the changes observed during September 2018 in the shallow hydrothermal system and the soil gas emissions.

A campaign of geochemical measures was carried out in the summit area of Mt Etna during the summer of 2019 in order to study both high and lowtemperature fumaroles and the geometry of diffuse degassing areas there present. The aims were: i) to improve our knowledge about the geochemical characteristcs of nonplume degassing; ii) to define the extension of the shallow hydrothermal system around the summit craters of the volcano; iii) to assess all possible interactons between the shallow hydrothermal system and deeper melt through which the gas flux takes place; iv) to monitor the temporal evoluton of the gas emissions, trying to discriminate between shallowrelated variatons and those related to deeper contributons. The study was conducted through: i) gas sampling of high temperature fumaroles within a fracture on NorthEast Crater (NEC) and along the crater rim of Voragine (VOR); ii) measurements of soil CO2 flux and soil heat flux on the summit area, partcularly along the rims of Central Crater (Bocca Nuova [BN] and VOR) and NEC, and also along the flanks of the summit cone; iii) installaton of a permanent staton for contnuous monitoring of the concentratons of
CO2 and H2 in a steaming fumarole (T° of about 90 °C) inside the uppermost crater formed during the 2002 flank erupton, on the upper north side of the volcano. This site has contnued producing gaseous emissions even afer the end of the 2002 erupton and the gas emission has been found to be directly linked to the degassing of the summit area. This work shows the preliminary data acquired during the geochemical survey, summarised as follows: i) high temperature fumaroles show an average C/S rato of 6.3, but this rato changes from one crater to another; ii) the diffuse CO2 flux combined with soil heat flux allowed identfying areas with a greater component from direct magmatc degassing. These areas are mostly located on the rims of the craters, but some isolated anomalous points were found in places where recent eruptve products have buried old volcanotectonic fractures or old fumaroles; iii) the temporal evoluton of the gases from the 2002 crater shows a strong positve
H2 peak and a negatve CO2 peak at the onset of Strombolian actvity at the NEC (on the night of 89 September 2019). Several cyclic variatons in the compositon of gaseous species were also observed, with daily period, as well as changes in the CO2/H2 rato that will deserve further studies in the followup of this research.

Maximum CO2 concentratons in air (about 1000 ppm above the local background CO2) are predicted inside the sector of the gridded area, in correspondence with the maximum CO2 emission from the soil, as well as in some spots located in the village of Cava dei Selci.
Even considering the maximum CO2 emission rate measured in the last twenty years and the most unfavourable atmospheric conditons (i.e. low wind and atmospheric stability), results of the simulatons indicate that predicted concentratons are below the “hazardous” threshold of
5000 ppm of CO2. In any case, the actual gas hazard could increase for the presence of other not included sources of gas, for processes of gas accumulaton inside basements or morphologically depressed sites or if the natural CO2 flow rate increase to 4/5 tmes the current one, for example as consequence of seismic events.

We describe the geochemical characteristcs of ground water samples collected in 23 water wells located on the northern margin of the Hyblean plateau (East Sicily). This area, mostly made of highly permeable carbonate rocks, is rich in hydrothermal groundwaters at low temperature (T<50°C at outlet) and it is also an actve sismogenetc zone, being it crossed by several ENE WSWdirected tectonic structures that drove magma to the surface during Upper Pliocene and Pleistocene. Our samples show a surface temperature lower than 40°C and chemical features that suggest complex mixing between rainwater, CO2rich groundwater, steamheated groundwater and geothermal waters. Some samples show evidence of strong interacton with
CO2, whose origin is from mantle degassing, as indicated by carbon isotopes. Other samples indicate interacton with condensed geothermal brines. Geothermometric estmates, mostly based on the quartz geothermometer, suggest maximum reservoir temperature between 100 and 120 °C.

Trace elements have a fundamental role in natural and anthropogenic systems. In waters, they present a great variability of concentratons that mostly depends on the degree of gaswaterrock interactons and geochemical conditons such as pH, temperature, redox and/or exchange reactons, etc. Even though, they are present in very low contents in hostrocks, elevated concentratons in ground or surface waters may have a hazardous impact on human and animal health and thus, it is important to both quantfy and try to understand their behaviour in natural systems. Here we present the results of about 300 cold and thermal mineral waters collected along the entre Hellenic territory. Physicochemical parameters (temperature, pH, electrical conductvity and Eh) were measured in situ, whilst samples were analysed by Ionic Chromatography (IC) and Inductvely Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS) for their major and trace elements’ content. The great variability in hydrogeological setngs justfies the wide range of temperatures (6.5 98°C) and pH (1.96 11.98). Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) values also covered a wide range, from 0.06 to 43 g/L. Based on the combinaton of pH, T and TDS, samples were subdivided into
5 classes: i) thermal waters; ii) thermal waters affected by sea water contaminaton; iii) cold CO2 rich waters; iv) hyperalkaline waters; and v) acidic waters. The great variability in chemical compositon of the sampled waters is reflected in the large range of trace element contents (four to five orders of magnitude). Thermal waters affected by seawater contaminaton show the strongest enrichments in Li (up to 17,600 μg/L), B (up to 38,200 μg/L), Sr (up to 80,000 μg/L) and Rb (up to 9230 μg/L), mostly deriving from waterrock interacton.
Cold CO2rich waters display elevated concentratons of Mn (up to 3970 μg/L), Ni (up to 111 μg/L) and Fe (up to 218,000 μg/L), whilst at the water outlow an extensive precipitaton of iron oxihydroxides is observed. Hyperalkaline waters are generally strongly depleted in trace elements due to the precipitaton of secondary minerals, however they are enriched in Al (up to 421 μg/L). Aluminium becomes soluble at extreme pH conditons and therefore also acidic waters present enhanced concentratons (up to 100,000 μg/L). Acidic waters show also enrichments in Fe (up to 58,400 μg/L), Mn (up to 15,600 μg/L) and Ni (up to 101 μg/L). In some cases, the maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) fixed by the Directve 98/83/EC for drinking water (and subsequent updates), are strongly exceeded in the under investgaton waters. Such elevated concentratons of harmful elements may create hazards to human health either via direct consumpton of cold mineral waters or through mixing of highly mineralized waters even in small proportons with shallow groundwater. For instance, As (MCL 10 μg/L) in the sampled waters reaches concentratons up to 1820 μg/L that derive from high temperature waterrock interacton within the hydrothermal circuit.

Many geothermal areas of Greece are located in regions affected by Miocene or Quaternary volcanism and in contnental basins characterised by elevated heat flow. Moreover, the majority of them is found along the coast as well as in islands of the Aegean Sea and thus, thermal water is ofen brackish to saline due to marine intrusion into costal aquifer. In the present study, almost 300 thermal and cold mineral water samples were collected along the Hellenic territory with their physicochemical parameters (temperature, pH, electrical conductvity and Eh) and the amount of bicarbonates (ttraton with 0.1N HCl) being determined in situ. Additonally, gases, found either in free or dissolved phase, were sampled. Both water and gas samples were analysed at the INGVPa laboratories for major ions (Ion Chromatography), silica (Inductvely Coupled Plasma Optcal Emission Spectrometry), chemical compositon of free and dissolved gases (Gas Chromatography) water isotopes (O and H) and carbon and helium isotopes of free and dissolved gases (Mass Spectrometry). The temperature of the investgated waters ranges from 6.5 to 98°C, pH from 1.96 to 11.98, whilst Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) from 0.06 to 43 g/L. Based on the temperature parameter, waters can be divided into four groups: i) cold (< 23 °C), ii) warm (23 40 °C), iii) thermal (40 75 °C) and iv) hyperthermal (> 75 °C). In terms of pH, most results vary from 5.5 to 8; few springs show either very low pH (< 4) suggestng interacton with H2Srich gases or very high pH values (> 10) proposing serpentnizaton processes. Regarding TDS concentratons, collected waters can be subdivided into low salinity (up to 1.5 g/L), brackish (up to 20 g/L) and saline (up to 43 g/L). The medium high salinites can be justfied by mixing with sea water and/or strong waterrock interacton processes. Isotope compositon of O and H ranges from 12.7 to +2.7 ‰ SMOW and from 91 to +12 ‰ SMOW respectvely and is generally comprised between the Global Meteoric Water Line and the East Mediterranean Meteoric Water Line. Only few water samples show a positve shif for δ18O possibly related to high temperature waterrock interacton processes.
Carbon dioxide (18 997,000 μmol/mol) or N2 (1100 989,000 μmol/mol) or CH4 (< 0.5 13 913,000 μmol/mol) are the prevailing gas species found in the studied sites. The δ CCO2 values ranged from 20.1 to +8.5 ‰, whilst the isotope rato of He from 0.21 to 6.71 R/RA.

The volcanic system of Ischia is characterized by an intense hydrothermal actvity, documented since the early 16th century by the study of Iasolino [1588], which represents the first systematc analysis of the thermal springs of the island for therapeutc purposes. Later studies partally contributed to the enhancement of knowledge on the volcanic, hydrogeological and hydrothermal features of the island, highlightng the strong interacton between hydrothermal flowpaths and volcanotectonic processes. The reconstructon of the hydrothermal system becomes, therefore, a fundamental element for territorial planning, not only in terms of management of the huge water and geothermal resource, but also and above all in a perspectve of preventon and mitgaton of volcanic risk. Thermal springs, fumaroles and clay deposits due to the hydrothermal alteraton of volcanic products testfies for the existence of an actve deep hydrothermal system. However at Ischia the geochemical characterizaton of fluids and groundwater, performed through sampling and analysis of a discrete number of scatered springs, wells and fumaroles, has been used for the definiton of the origin and structure of hydrothermal systems as a whole, as the hydrogeological informaton is incomplete. Moreover, volcanic hydrothermal systems, such as that characterizes the island of Ischia, are partcularly difficult to analyze and outline, as the groundwater resources are the result of an artculated and dynamic interacton among meteoric water, sea water and fluids of deep origin. In such cases, the need for an interdisciplinary approach is evident, involving knowledge and research methods ranging from geology to volcanology, geophysics, geochemistry, mineralogy and hydrogeology. With partcular reference to the functonal and structural representaton of the geothermal system of the island of Ischia and the resultng correlatons with the volcanotectonic processes, the examinaton of previous informaton highlights the need to update and improve the knowledge on groundwater hydrodynamics and mineralizaton processes. Therefore, the present work represents a strong interdisciplinary acton that, startng from the design and implementaton of a database on the existng geological/volcanological and hydrogeological informaton, contributes to highlight the critcal issues, define an operatng scheme of the hydrogeothermal system of the island of Ischia, and upgrade its hydrogeological, geochemical and volcanic monitoring system, in order to contribute to the mitgaton of volcanic and related risks. The knowledge of groundwater dynamics and pathways, in fact, is of fundamental importance for understanding the water/magma interacton processes in case of realimentaton of the shallow magmatc system, and the assessment of the possibility of phreatc explosions occurrence. Moreover, the knowledge of the thermal fluids’ circulaton and the related rock alteraton processes is of paramount importance in the definiton of the mechanic characteristcs of rock masses and their proneness to failure. 215 216 MISCELLANEA INGV n. 52 groundwater flow conditons. the definitonof thehydrogeological complexes andadvancing theknowledge of the The preliminary results allowed therealizaton of anew hydrogeological mapof Ischia, improving at Ischia andisintegrated with theactonsplannedfor theDPCINGV 20192021conventon.

An automated radon staton was operatve at the summit of Stromboli volcano during 2018 2019 (PZZ staton) untl midJuly 2019, and overlapping the onset of the paroxysmal explosion of July 3. The utlized electronic radon dosimeter performs passive measurements on the released alpha partcles from soil. These are recorded and automatcally processed by a multchannel analyzer that subdivides the counts into Regions of Interest (named ROIs). Therefore, the actvity of the radon gas can be retrieved by using the counts of 222Rn, 218Po and 214Po. Similarly, the counts for 220Rn (thoron) and 212Po can be measured. Radon data were collected with soilair temperatures and have been compared with other environmental parameters (air temperature, pressure, humidity and rainfalls) and the satellite MIRMODIS thermal data collected by the MIROVA system (www.mirovaweb.it). Radon concentratons were fluctuatng from 5000 to about 10000 Bq/m3 during late spring of 2018, and they were up to about 20000 Bq/m3 during late November 2018. Since then radon was oscillatng within 22000 and 10000 Bq/m3 during late December 2018. Then it followed an overall decreasing trend untl February 2019 with a minimum value slightly above 3000 Bq/m3. During MarchMay 2019 the signal shows several peaks (up around 30000 Bq/m3) with alternatng values well below 6000 Bq/m3, and reaching two minima ranging 510280 Bq/m3, respectvely. Before and during the onset of paroxysmal explosion of July 3, 2019, radon data were fluctuatng between about 6000 and 12000 Bq/m3 well below the anomalous values recorded in FebruaryMarch 2007. Thus, it is not excluded that the absence of precursory signals is likely due to the fact that the summit fracture zone, where the staton is located, has undergone selfsealing (as indicated by the fluctuatng signal with very low radon emissions during MarchMay 2019). The thermal values recorded by the MIROVA system during the whole period are essentally below 3 MW, with very few sporadic anomalies ranging 1820 MW, and this is substantally consistent with the tmeseries of radon emissions being typical of a rather mild Strombolian actvity. However, on June 29, 2019, the thermal signal reaches 36.5 MW and drastcally increases afer the onset of the July 3 explosion. It is interestng to note that the radon signal is decoupled from temperature data partcularly during the late springsummer season and the contributon of atmospheric pressure marginally affect radon emissions. Future work should be oriented in experimentally tracking the signature of the isotopes of the radon progeny on selected samples of the last eruptve cycle.

A review on the eruptions of the Campi Flegrei caldera with focus on the possible trigger mechanisms
Daniele Morgavi
Università di Perugia, Dipartmento di Fisica e Geologia, Italy
The Campi Flegrei caldera is a nested structure, which formed during two main collapses associated with the Campanian Ignimbrite (39 ka) and Neapolitan Yellow Tuff (15 ka) eruptons. Volcanism in the last 15 ka occurred within the younger caldera, and was concentrated in three epochs separated by two periods of quiescence. The last event occurred in AD 1538, with the formaton of Monte Nuovo. The volcanism of the Campi Flegrei ofen shows evidence of magma mixing. Noteworthy, most violent and catastrophic volcanic eruptons on the Earth have been triggered by refilling of a felsic volcanic magma chamber by a hot and more mafic magma. Famous examples include Vesuvius 79 AD, Krakatau 1883, Pinatubo 1991, and Eyjafallajokull 2010. Since the first hypotheses about the origin of mixed igneous rocks, a plenty of evidence of magma mixing processes, in all tectonic environments, throughout geological tmes, has accumulated in the literature allowing this natural process to be definitely embedded in the constellaton of the most fundamental petrological processes playing a key role in triggering volcanic eruptons. Here we present a combined review on the volcanological, petrographic and geochemical investgatons on volcanic rocks that have revealed compositonal variatons at different lengthscales pointng to a complex interplay of fractonal crystallizaton and mixing/mingling during the evoluton of the Campi Flegrei magmatc feeding systems. Furthermore, we will also discuss the evidences of internal and external trigger of several volcanic eruptons and the possible hazard implicatons for the Campi Flegrei magmatc system.

The Campanian Ignimbrite (CI) erupton (Campi Flegrei, Italy) is associated to a voluminous pyroclastc sequence of trachytc to phonolitc magma emplaced in southerncentral Italy, around 39 ka ago. Its proximal deposits are made up by a basal plinian pumice fallout, followed by several distnct crystalpoor ignimbritc flow units and the topmost crystalrich Upper Pumice Flow Unit (UPFU). Despite several papers, based on wholerock analyses [Melluso et al., 1995, Pappalardo et al., 2002; Fedele et al., 2016; Forni et al., 2016], suggest the presence of a vertcal geochemical gradient along proximalCI deposits, our geochemical and isotopic microanalytcal data on matrix glasses and minerals of the juvenile components from the San Martno proximal CI sequence, show the presence of two variably evolved melts with a marked change towards more mafic compositons only occurring in the topmost crystalrich UPFU. According to recent hypotheses on silicic melt origin, we have interpreted the CI magma chamber in terms of a crystalmush system [as firstly proposed by Forni et al., 2016]. In this light, our work has pointed out that the CI erupton was fed by two distnct magmatc components: i) the crystalpoor evolved melt, considered to represent the buoyant eruptble magma porton of the CI reservoir, extracted from a cumulate crystalmush zone during fractonal crystallizaton and ii) the less evolved trachyphonolitc melts, formed at the base of the CI reservoir. Indeed, juveniles from all units, with the notable excepton of the last erupted UPFU, have i) low crystal content, ii) evolved matrix glass compositons with negatve Eu anomalies (0.20.6), iii) microscale geochemical and isotope heterogeneites and iv) phenocrysts mostly showing disequilibrium textures. On the other hand, UPFU juvenile products show significant differences with respect to those from the previously erupted units, namely i) a marked higher phenocryst content, ii) less evolved matrix glass compositons with positve Eu anomalies (1.01.4), iii) higher and variable Sr, Ba and V contents, iv) partcularly low and homogeneous incompatble element abundances, v) highOr sanidine with equilibrium textures and vi) less Sr and Ndradiogenic signatures (143Nd/144Nd up to 0.51245). We have calculated that the unique compositon of the UPFU melts derived from multple evolutonary processes (threecomponent mixing + crystallizaton) occurring when new mafic magma recharges at the base of the CI reservoir thermally reactvated the above crystalmush, being initally unable to infiltrate the crystalmush, and then started to physically interact with it. The distnct and variable UPFU Ndisotopes prove that the recharging mafic magma was directly involved in generaton the UPFU melts, and did not only act as heat source to remobilise the cumulate mush [as reported by Forni et al., 2016]. We have also demonstrated that variable proportons (4080%) of the new mafic magma mixed with a crystalmush melt (CMM) 225 226 MISCELLANEA INGV n. 52 mechanisms that canoccur whenever acrystalmush isreactvated by new mafic magmainputs. of thereservoir prior totheCIexplosive erupton, butalsoshedlights onthecomplex Our detailedmicroanalytcal study not only provides new insight onthestructure andevoluton tmescale andcooling extent, forming thecompositons of mostUPFU feeding magma. sanidine crystallised.

Clinopyroxene growth and dissolution rate: constraints on the deep level ascent rate of a K-basaltic magma from the Campi Flegrei Volcanic District
Barbara Bonechi, Cristna Perinelli, Mario Gaeta
Università di Roma La Sapienza, Dipartmento di Scienze della Terra, Italy
The estmaton of the magma ascent rate in the Campi Flegrei Volcanic District (CFVD, south Italy) is of paramount significance in terms of volcanic hazard. Indeed, deeplevel ascent rates may be the key to understand the triggering mechanisms of volcanic eruptons and are essental for understanding the rates at which magmas are supplied to volcanic complexes. Thus, to investgate the CFVD magmas transport at Moholower crust depth and provide an estmate of magma recharge of the deep reservoirs, we assessed the cooling rate and the deeplevel ascent rates of Kbasaltc magmas by combining the clinopyroxene growth rate determined by high pressure crystallizaton experiments with data from crystal size distributon analyses and thermobarometry of clinopyroxenes occurring in the most primitve scoria clasts of the CFVD. In additon, since only few studies have considered the role played by crystal dissoluton phenomena during the crystalmelt interacton and crystal growth, we investgated the role of crystal dissoluton in the estmaton of magma ascent rate by performing a series of dissoluton experiments. In partcular, clinopyroxene growth and dissoluton rates were experimentally determined in a Kbasaltc rock from Procida island (CFVD) through a series of experiments performed at 0.8 GPa by using the piston cylinder apparatus available at the HPHT Laboratory of the Department of Earth Sciences of Sapienza University of Rome (Italy). Crystallizaton experiments were carried out at 10301250 °C, 1 ≤ H2O ≤ 4 wt.% and dwell tmes of 0.25, 3, 6 and 9 hours. Overall, growth rate reaches a maximum value in the shortest experiments (~ 3·107 cm s1) decreasing to ~ 1x108 cm s1 in the longest duraton runs. Partton coefficients based on the crystalliquid exchange show that mineral chemistry progressively approaches equilibrium with increasing run duraton. Furthermore, the combinaton of the determined growth rates with data from thermobarometry and from crystal size distributon analyses of clinopyroxenes in the most primitve scoria clasts of the CFVD, suggests that recharge by primitve magma in the deep reservoirs occurs with a relatvely high ascent rate of ~ 0.5x104 m s1. Dissoluton experiments, instead, were performed at superliquidus temperatures of 1300 and 1350 °C and dwell tmes between 0.5 and 2 hours. The calculated dissoluton rates are in the order of ~105106 cm s1 and results significantly controlled by temperature, while they are not pressure and tme dependent. The role of crystal dissoluton in the estmaton of magma ascent rate has been tested for a natural magmatc system, by interpolatng the obtained dissoluton rates with the textural data of clinopyroxene crystals from the AgnanoMonte Spina pyroclastc deposits at Campi Flegrei (Italy). Calculatons indicate that the tme required for partal or complete resorpton of these clinopyroxene crystals varies from ~0.5 to ~40 hours, and that the effect of crystal dissoluton may be relevant on the estmates of magma residence tmes if significant dissoluton occurs during magma mixing processes.

A multdisciplinary analysis of multscale seismic profiles compared to a new geoarchaeological dataset provided insights into the last ~15 ky deformaton of the submerged part of the Campi Flegrei resurgent caldera, off the Pozzuoli Bay (Southern Italy). The Campi Flegrei volcanic zone has been traditonally interpreted as a nested caldera formed by collapses associated with two main eruptons: the 100200 km3 Campania Ignimbrite (CI), ~ 39 ka BP [Deino et al., 2004], and the 40 km3 erupton of the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff (NYT) at ~ 15 ka BP [Di Vito et al., 1999]. The collapse of the central part of the Campi Flegrei associated with the erupton of the NYT was followed by discrete phases of intracaldera volcanic actvity and resurgence [Marturano et al., 2018; Isaia et al., 2019]. Despite the volcanic and tectonic evoluton of the onshore part of the caldera has been intensely studied since long, only in recent years the southern part of the caldera presently submerged off the Pozzuoli Bay has been explored using marine geophysical data [Sacchi et al., 2014; Steinmann et al., 2018]. Utlizing a multscale seismic dataset, we investgated the formaton and evoluton of the Campi Flegrei caldera. The analysis has revealed the occurrence of transgressive and regressive events both inside and outside (e.g. Procida channel) the submerged porton of the caldera. The caldera infill preserves the seismic record to study and quantfy caldera and postcaldera evoluton phases, outlining the interplay between volcanotectonic processes and sealevel variatons. Based on our seismostratgraphic study, we found significant seafloor uplif between ~12.09.1 ky and ~5.53.7 ky. These periods broadly correspond to known phases of volcanic actvity and unrests, suggestng that not only volcanism but also ground deformaton were clustered. In contrast, an aggradatonal fill patern prevails between periods of uplif, and allow to document two major subsidence phases between ~9.1 and ~5.5 ky and afer ~3.7 ky. These subsidence periods are temporally correlated to intervals of volcanic quiescence or minor actvity. Afer ∼2.5 ky, both the resurgent dome and the peripheral parts of the caldera underwent low rate subsidence which likely reflects a regional trend. The differental subsidence behaviour across the caldera is supported by the analysis of archaeological sealevel markers represented by fishponds, docks and ancient port structures dated from the Bronze Age to the Roman Age. The central caldera sector is wellknown or its rich geoarchaeological record of the bradyseism occurred since Roman tmes (e.g. Villa dei Pisoni, Portus Julius etc.). Positve and negatve bradyseismic motons, with an estmated net subsidence rate of 23 mm/yr, have notoriously affected the coastal setlement as testfied by the presence of strategies adopted to mitgate and to adapt to such changes. Differently, the archaeological markers away from the resurgent dome (e.g. Gaiola fishponds, Posillipo) show a mean subsidence rate of 12 mm/yr during the last two millennia. Even though the ground deformatons reconstructed in the peripheral rim appears lower than those recognized inside the caldera, they prove that vertcal movements of volcanic origin were not always confined inside the caldera rim and may be related to more regional processes.

Stromboli is one of the few volcanoes in the world that presents a persistent eruptve actvity, which has given the name at the most typical explosive phenomenon of basaltc volcanoes, the Strombolian actvity. Since 1994 a standard video camera on Pizzo Sopra la Fossa of Stromboli records the explosive actvity produced by the vents hosted on the Terrazza Craterica located just 150 m below. Afer the largest lava erupton of the last century, occurred in 2003, the video surveillance system has been improved with the installaton of cameras operatng in the infrared band, which allowed us to record several hundred thousand explosive events during day and night, which are populatng a database precious for characterizing features and variability of the Strombolian explosions. The mild Strombolian actvity of Stromboli is periodically interrupted by powerful “major explosions” and, in a few extreme cases, “paroxysms”. These extraordinary events occur at rates of a few per year (major explosions) and 12 per decade (paroxysms), which can be up to three orders of magnitude larger than “ordinary” actvity in terms of energy, dispersal and erupted mass. During the 25 years of remote videosurveillance a hundred explosions of higher intensity were classified through the analysis of the images, at begin manually and then in fully automatc way. The contnuity between the ordinary explosions and the major explosions was thus ascertained, and for the rare and largest paroxysms could be inferred. Moreover, the temporal trend of the actvity highlights a marked increase in the frequency and intensity (ballistc clasts dispersal) of the discrete events before the more energetc eruptve phenomena occur, both explosive and effusive, was qualitatvely ofen observed but not sufficiently quantfied yet. A paroxysmal explosion stroked Stromboli in the afernoon of July 3rd, 2019, without any precursory sign. It was intermediate in size to two other most recent paroxysms (in 2003 and 2007) that had occurred during a lava flow erupton. This highly energetc event resulted into a huge blast, pyroclastc flows entering the sea, and a 6 km high plume deposited a shower of hightemperature spaters on the island’s southern flank, down to Ginostra village, causing damages and one casualty. The image analysis of the Strombolian actvity in the months before this paroxysm reveals that a significant increasing occurred about two weeks before, which became stronger with the major explosion occurred in the night of June 25rd, 2019. A similar growth of the eruptve actvity was observed also before the 20022003, 2007 and 2014 effusive eruptons. The specifics of these increments are under quanttatve analysis, which it is possible only for the 2014 and 2019 eruptons because it can be performed on thermal images acquired by a FLIR thermal camera from late 2010 only. Even if the Stromboli’s paroxysms are unpredictable with an useful lap of tme to save the people visitng the summit area of the volcano, we can use the recogniton of the start of an anomalous behavior in the ordinary explosive actvity that can drive to an extraordinary eruptve event, as 239 240 MISCELLANEA INGV n. 52 actve volcanoes. the INGV that hasitshigher socialtaskinthesafety of thepeoplelivingor visitng theItalian associated tothesestllpoorly understoodparoxysmal events, hastobeamajor objectve of of new volcano behavior paradigms andof related monitoringstrategies for mitgatng the hazard a precursor for alertng visitors andpopulaton onthispotental dangerous.

The summer 2019 eruptive activity of Stromboli: new insights on volcano system from observations and field data collection of the July 3 and August 28 paroxysms

During summer 2019, on July 3rd and August 28th, Stromboli volcano has unexpectedly produced two paroxysmal vulcanianstyle eruptons. Paroxysms are shortlived energetc episodes that interrupt Stromboli ordinary, persistent explosive actvity and represent a potental risk to visitors climbing to the Stromboli summit. The first paroxysm was preceded by a few precursors: inflaton (8 min ca. earlier) at INGVSVO staton, strong ground deformaton signal (i.e. 27 mrad at 800 m ca. from LGSOHO tlt meter) and small lava overflows from all the vents just a couple of minutes before the first paroxysmal sequence. Conversely, the second event was associated to sharp ground deformaton signal 5 min before the explosion (i.e. 11 mrad at 800 m ca. from LGSOHO tlt meter). A swelling of the volcanic edifice explains those deformaton signals in both cases. Remarkably, at the beginning of the summer (night between June 25/26) instrumental data and field observatons also recorded a socalled strombolian major explosion. Both paroxysms erupted magma from the known elliptcal crater terrace area (700750 m a.s.l.) and generated buoyant ashgas columns about 45 kmhigh. Ballistc bombs and blocks were ejected at speeds up to 200 m/s as first effect of the overpressurized magma batch ascent and consequent explosion. They represent both the failure of the conduits/craters wall rocks and the early magma clasts ejected. In both paroxysms, immediately afer their onset, dilute PDCs flowed on the Sciara del Fuoco (SdF) slope and plunged in that stretch of coast, with a partal planning over the sea surface up to distances greater than 800 m from the coast. The July 3 paroxysm produced two PDCs in rapid succession (Vavg= 47 m/s), one from the SW crater area and another from central one. Tephra affected the entre craters terrace, the volcano summit (magma spaters, blocks) and WSW slopes of the volcano, involving the Ginostra village, where eyewitnesses accounted for 3545 minuteslong tephra fallout. In terms of impact and considering the geophysical data available for 2003 and 2007 paroxysms, this event can be considered the highest energy erupton since 1930. The August 28 paroxysm was relatvely less energetc respect to that of July 3, with a lower plume height. The erupton occurred from the central vent area and also produced a directonal PDC along the SdF, which entered and partly planned over the sea. Ballistcs and plume depositon affected the volcano summit but, unlike the July 3 event, the tephra mainly covered the E and NE sectors of the island. Field survey here, recorded numerous dmsized ballistc up to height of 200 m ca. along the NE flanks of the island and generally decreasing thicknesses of lapilli layer from Scari harbour area to Piscita’ suburb. Similarly to July 3, the falling of incandescent ballistcs on vegetated areas quickly triggered widespread wildfires in many parts of the island, at elevatons as low as 400 m a.s.l.. Witnesses accounted for 33 minuteslong tephra fallout on the Stromboli village that is very similar to what reported for July 3. Another common effect of the two paroxysms was to change the craters morphology. Between the July 3 and August 28 events, actvity was dominated by strombolian eruptons, producing intermediate to high lava fountains (up to 350400 m high), and discontnuously fed lava flows, mainly from the SWcrater. Anomalous geophysical signals 241 242 MISCELLANEA INGV n. 52 15September 20) were recorded.

Stromboli Island is one of the most actve volcanoes in the world. The explosive actvity occurs from a crater terrace subdivided into 2 main sectors, namely North and SouthCentral, each one characterized by shortterm vents in the form of hornitos, scoria cones and pitcraters. On 3 July 2019, the ordinary actvity (consistng of mild to moderate Strombolian explosions) was interrupted by a paroxysmal event up to several tmes bigger in intensity and magnitude. This erupton caused various hazardous, not only volcanic, phenomena: spater and bombs fallout along the tourist paths, coarse tephra fallout on Stromboli and Ginostra, the two villages located on opposite sides, pyroclastc density currents (PDCs) in the sea frequented by tourist boats and later tsunami waves and wildfires on the lower slopes. Tragically, there was one victm when a hiker walked at just 200 m above Ginostra. Afer the July 3 paroxysm, explosive frequency and intensity became very high coherently with the patern of most geophysical and geochemical parameters, culminatng with the twin paroxysm on 28 August matching a similar eruptve scenario, plus a major event the day afer. Both paroxysmal eruptons clearly heavily affected the economy of the island due to the limited access to the volcano. Indeed, they could have been fatal for many people during the summer touristc actvity. Here, we seek to compare the two events from a volcanological point of view (e.g., column height, dispersal of ballistcs and tephra fallout, triggering of PDCs, etc.). To conclude, we stress the importance of improving our ability to detect and interpret eruptve paterns and phenomena by updatng and strengthening the monitoring systems, and if necessary comparing real tme observatons with all types of monitored signals. This is surely crucial to mitgate the volcanic hazards associated with paroxysmal actvity at Stromboli, before another paroxysm threatens the safety of local people and tourists.

The 2019 Stromboli summer was incredibly busy; two paroxysms had dramatcally changed the summit craters of the volcano on the 3 of July and the 28 of August. The first paroxysm destroyed the majority of the CentralSouth crater areas and a new scoria cone started to grow into it. The 9 of July a drone survey, realized in collaboraton with the GEOMAR drone group, allowed to obtain the orthoimage and the Digital Elevaton Model (DEM) and the 3D thermal model of the island surface. The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) used, Wingcopter, has a unique tltrotor mechanism. It ensures a smooth and robust transiton between hovering like a multcopter and flying forward like a plane, guaranteeing a flight autonomy useful to overfly the all island. During the 3 July paroxysm, part of the material from the erupton and from the collapse of the rim of the CS area (CS) have generated pyroclastc flows, the rest have been accumulated on the plateau located right away downhill of the crater area. The lava flow field, which was 180 m wide, reached the sea through lavadebris fans and some overflows spread downhill respect to the North crater area (N). The actvity has been intense during July and August and characterized by the growing of scoria cones in the crater areas and contnuous lava flows spreading in the Southern sector of Sciara del Fuoco (SdF). The 28 of August another paroxysm implicated the crater areas and two pyroclastc flows travelled down the SdF and out to sea. In September another UAV survey, in collaboraton with the GEOMAR, was realized obtaining the orthoimage the DEM and the 3D thermal model of the island surface. The topographic approach (subtracton between two different surfaces) was chosen to calculate the volume gain and loss. The Pleiades derived DEM was used as preerupton surface, it was generated from tristereo. Pleiades satellite imagery of the 13 of June, unluckily it was devoid of the crater area due to the plume. For this reason, it was necessary to combine the Pleiades derived DEM with another one, generated from UAV images of the 20 of June (by the INGV Laboratory HPHT Sezione Roma1). The DEMs subtracton allowed us to determine the amount of volume loss in the crater areas (about 3 x 105 m3) and the volume accumulated in the south sector of the SdF (6 x 105 m3) as a consequence of the 3 July paroxysm. Moreover, subtractng the July DEM at the September one, it was possible to evaluate the amount of lava flow emited in two mouths of erupton (about 3 x 106 m3). These are preliminary results, more elaboraton, and volcanological discussionsare stll ongoing. However, we proved the usefulness of this technique to map volcanic products, to highlight morphological changes and perform volume estmaton.

The Presentdays actvity of Stromboli has been characterised by persistent mild explosive eruptons, ejectng black scoria bombs, over the last several hundred years. Periodically, lava flows and paroxysms interrupt the “normal” actvity. A degassed and highly porphyritc magma (hp magma), with a basaltc shoshonitc compositon and a shallow level origin (about 3 km) is erupted by the normal actvity and lava flows, whereas a slightly more mafic and volatlerich magma of deeper derivaton (810 km) and with low phenocryst content (lp magma) is also erupted as pumices by paroxysms. The hp and lp magmas also differ for Sr isotopes and some isotope ratos of the UTh series [e.g., 226Ra/230Th, 238U/232Th; Bragagni et al., 2014]. The hp magmas undergo fast crystallizaton together with rapid mixing with the periodically refilling lp magmas, which only during paroxysms reaches the surface without mixing with hp magmas. During ascent, the lp magmas pass through an intermediate cumulate crystalmush zone, recording the highly variable and high Srisotope signature of the previous magmas, and transport antecrysts/antemelts into the shallower reservoir. These processes were capable to maintain the shallow hp reservoir in steadystate conditons in which the fast system perturbatons caused by the refilling with fresh lp magmas were quickly recovered. Indeed, untl 2009 CE actvity, matrix glass compositons of lp and hp magmas were usually well distnct and their periodic mixing was only evident from the decrease of Srisotopes of both hp and lp magmas with tme, associated to specific microSr isotope zoning of minerals. The actvity of period prior to the summer 2019 paroxysms (20092018 CE), however, was ofen characterised by products with matrix glass compositons filling the gap between the typical lp and hp glass compositons and showing well defined mixing trends. This especially happened in 20172018 CE actvites. Moreover, from 2007 CE onwards, Srisotope ratos have reversed their variaton startng to increase with tme in both lp and hp magmas. Furthermore, in the 20172018 CE actvity in respect with the previous one, changes were also observed in the relatonships between the Srisotope ratos of the hp and lp matrix glasses. Based on these results we had reported the occurring of a clear change in the steadystate of the Stromboli Presentdays plumbing system [Francalanci et al., 2019; GoldschmidtConference2019] and the 2019 paroxysms just happens during this period of changes in the dynamics of evolutonary processes. Possibly, these changes can be due to mantle source processes variatons and/or to modificatons in the shallow interacton processes between lp magmas and the crystalmuch zone (antecrysts and antemelts), together with variatons in the tmescale of lp and hp interactons. In any case, it is noteworthy the correspondence between these evolutonary process changes and the eruptve dynamics of the volcano.

Genesis of tsunami waves generated by Pyroclastic flows and the Early-Warning system
Giorgio Lacanna, Maurizio Ripepe
Università di Firenze, Italy
Pyroclastc flows are a common product of explosive volcanism and have the potental to generate tsunami wave when dense flows encounter bodies of water. Tsunami generated by large subaerial mass may consttute a serious hazard for coastal populaton and environment, as documented by several examples in recent history and by numerous geological traces of paleoevents. On July 3rd and August 28th 2019 paroxysms at Stromboli volcano produced a few kmhigh erupton columns, huge tephra fallout and pyroclastc density currents propagatng along the Sciara del Fuoco at a mean speed of 70 m/s. These laters generated two moderate high tsunami waves characterized by a period of ~30 s which were recorded at a sampling rate of 125 Hz in the very nearfield by two elastc beacons located a distance of 0.3 (PDC) and 1.5 (PLB) Km from the locaton where the mass flow entered the water. Video camera images and arrival tmes indicate that tsunami near the coastline was propagatng at a mean velocity of 22 m/s. This gave the unique opportunity to detect the tsunami at the source providing an unprecedented record of the tsunami wave when is forming. The tsunami record provides an important constraint for the modelling and it has a large impact on the understanding of the tsunami generated by pyroclastc flows dynamics. The record of the two tsunami is also offering the possibility to test our ability to automatcally recognize those long period waves and to trigger the acoustc alarm network installed in Stromboli and Panarea islands and in Milazzo (Sicily). We show how the Early Warning system was able to detect the tsunami providing the alert some minutes before (~ 2 minutes) the waves were reaching Stromboli island providing for the first tme an efficient tool to mitgate the tsunami risk associated to the explosive volcanism. Moreover, the high quality of these data recorded in the very nearfield is suggestng the possibility of using simple analytcal equaton to quickly estmate the source parameters of the tsunami in terms of volume per unit width, maximum speed of subaerial flow and submerged travel tme.

Morphological characterization of basaltic pumice from the summer 2019 Stromboli eruption: insights from the Calabrian beach deposits (Italy)
Nicola Mari
University of Glasgow, UK
On the 3rd July 2019, a new powerful paroxysmal erupton at Stromboli volcano (Aeolian Islands, Sicily) occurred. This event was exceptonally energetc so that the basaltc material reached even the Calabrian coasts by floatng on water. In this work, several samples of basaltc pumice were observed and characterized in order to constrain their main features linked to this energetc eruptve event at Stromboli and to infer which physical conditons may have determined their floatng on the sea water, in order for them to reach several beaches located on the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria. Basaltc pumices (> 4 cm in size) observed in this work (n = 32) were collected from Nicotera Marina, Cala Janculla, and Praia i Focu beaches (Calabria, Southern Italy); these last are pocket beaches, accessible only via boat, so they have acted as a natural ‘trap’ for the material coming from the sea, and they served as large accumulaton areas for the Stromboli basaltc pumices. A binocular optcal microscope was used to infer morphological characteristcs, textural features, and to roughly quantfy the degree of vesiculaton and the abundance of Pele’s hairs in these peculiar basaltc pumices. The most evident features are given by magma mingling textures, visible pyroxene crystals (up to 5 mm), as well as vesicles and relatvely thick Pele’s hairs. In general, only in the basaltc pumice of Cala Janculla beach it is possible to notce the largest vesicles and the most glassylooking samples; along with the highest degree of vesiculaton and abundance of Pele’s hairs. While the physical aspect of the basaltc pumices collected in the Nicotera Marina and Praia i Focu beaches looks more scoriaceous or lapillilike, and with a lesser degree of vesiculaton. The morphology and physical features of these basaltc materials may have acted as an efficient way for keeping them floatng on the sea water from the Stromboli island to the Tyrrhenian coasts of Calabria. In partcular, this could be due to the high abundance of vesicles. In partcular, data from this work show that the degree of vesiculaton linked to the abundance of Pele’s hairs indicate a moderate degree of correlaton (R2 = 0.64), suggestng a great presence of interconnected networks of empty spaces in these basaltc pumices. In additon, the presence of large bubbles (up to 34 cm in size) would indicate the high efficiency of these partcular basalts in floatng on the sea water and emphasize the fact that the 3rd July event at Stromboli was characterized by a large release of volatles.

Kinetc energy models are tools able to provide an estmate to the inundaton area of pyroclastc density currents (PDCs). We present here a novel strategy that allows improving these models in order to consider the occurrence of channelizaton processes of pyroclastc material. In this strategy, the inundaton area associated with a basal collapse process, represented by a root conoid that interacts with the topography, is complemented with the inundaton zones derived from the inclusion of secondary source points located in the expected zones of pyroclast channelizaton (represented by branch conoids). For that, we adopt a tree branchlike structure and appropriate assumptons for setng the positon and the inital characteristcs of the secondary source points. Two widely used kinetc models are modified by applying this strategy: the energy cone and the box model, giving place to two opensource and freely downloadable codes (ECMapProb and BoxMapProb). We tested these branching formulatons by comparing their results with those derived from the traditonal formulatons of these kinetc energy models, with other numerical solvers, and with the invasion area of real PDC deposits. We show the capability of the presented strategy of improving the accuracy of kinetc models without adding new, unconstrained input parameters or significantly increasing the computatonal cost, allowing the assessment of volcanic hazards using a probabilistc approach. The applicaton of this strategy represents a tmeeffectve alternatve to the use of more sophistcated models for describing PDC transport and depositon.

In the past four centuries, volcanic mudflows generated by the remobilizaton of pyroclastc deposits material, commonly known as lahars, have caused between 15% and 20% of all volcanic fatalites. For this reason, it is important to quantfy the risk associated to such phenomena by combining different approaches such as field, modeling and probabilistc studies. In Italy, lahars pose a partcularly high threat to populaton and infrastructures in the circumvesuvian Plains and in the adjacent Apennine valleys, as testfied by the geological and historical records. The deposits most affected by heavy rain mobilizaton are both fallout and pyroclastc flows, mainly related to recent plinian and subplinian eruptons of Vesuvius. The assessment of the hazard associated with lahar must consider several aspects that include i) the identficaton of potental areas of origin, ii) heavy or persistent rain events able to generate deposit mobilizaton, iii) the extension and the characteristcs of the potental flow, iv) the ability to modify the flow propertes along the path related to water content, erosion and solid load depositon (which can alter the topography), v) the frequency of such events in the past. Here we present the results of a multdisciplinary effort to tackle these points for the Vesuvian area, carried out within the collaboraton between Isttuto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia and the Italian Department of Civil Protecton. Field studies have shown that areas involved in the depositon of lahar associated with past eruptons are much wider than those directly affected by the depositon of primary products of the eruptons. Field and laboratory investgatons allowed, for selected cases, the characterizaton of the source and the invasion areas, the lithological and sedimentological propertes of the mobilized deposits and their interactons with the preexistng topography. Partcular atenton has been posed to the syneruptve lahars of the 472 AD erupton, characterized by the greatest areal distributon in the northern plain and Apennine valleys. Field and laboratory data analysis were used to calibrate and define the source area for an ad hoc numerical model based on the shallow layer approach. The model has been first validated with analytcal solutons, then used to perform a sensitvity study and finally to produce probabilistc hazard maps in the circumvesuvian area.

maps for tephra load: indeed, only the mean maps were produced, quantfying the aleatory uncertainty only. However, afer the exercise end, we retrospectvely did it, for the last phase of the exercise, along with an ensemble model of the vent positon synthesizing the two Bayesian models. • From a practcal point of view, the number of maps from hazard assessment can grow very rapidly as consequence of considering multple: threshold values in probability or intensity measure (e.g., tephra load); possible scenarios (e.g., maps conditonal to the occurrence of an erupton of any size, or of a specific size, or from the most likely vent positon); hazards (e.g., tephra fallout and PDC in this case); maps considering variability in vent opening; percentles to quantfy epistemic uncertainty;
forecastng tme windows (i.e., t0 or t0+24h for tephra fallout).
This can make communicaton with decision makers difficult and results not fully exploitable in the typical short tme of an exercise.
In the light of the experience gained in ExeFlegrei, we conclude that: • given the relevance for decision makers of erupton and scenario forecast, the models used to provide them should be constantly upgraded as new scientfic knowledge is gained, and translated in advance into formalized operatonal procedures; • the exploitaton of the large portolio of hazard products, which represents a valuable, quanttatve informaton for taking ratonal decisions, needs a contnuous cooperaton between scientsts and decision makers. This is a necessarily mutual exchange process: on the one hand, in quiet tmes the decision makers’; needs should become clearer to scientsts, and together they could could conceive priority levels (e.g., high, medium and low) for the products that may go into reports to decision makers and into internal ones. On the other hand, scientsts should struggle to beter communicate the amount and quality of informaton carried in their products; • periodic exercises represent a fundamental opportunity to improve the response of scientsts and civil protecton to a volcanic emergency.

Flank eruptons at Mt. Etna volcano are ofen related to the occurrence of strong earthquakes. Nevertheless, this is not always the case, and the relatonship has to be modeled in probabilistc terms using Data Science. The topic has been investgated in a few studies, startng in the 80s and the 90s. This statstcal analysis produced a clear result the objectve identficaton of the correlaton of the two phenomena. However, from a quanttatve point of view, the results were strongly affected by the limitatons in the historical records available at that tme, and by the statstcal approaches adopted. The research contnued aferwards, thanks to the basic research projects funded by the Department of Civil Protecton in 20002015. This provided more complete and extended knowledge of the eruptve and seismic phenomena, and of their relatonships. The implicatons for a multhazard assessment are significant. In partcular, the quanttatve analyses performed show that the probability of strong (i.e. damaging) earthquakes is influenced by the occurrence of flank eruptons for several weeks, both during the eruptve actvity and afer the end. The main target of the study is measuring and modeling how much is probable, if compared to the average patern, to have an earthquake temporally related to a flank erupton, and how long this statstcal influence can last for. In partcular, we perform a tme series analysis of both the seismic and eruptve records in the last 145170 years, choosing the longest available seismic record which we assume to be complete. We included the estmaton of the seismic rate and investgated the evidence for rate changes in tme, as well as the effect of choosing different subrecords as a functon of the scale parameters (e.g. earthquake magnitude thresholds, strain release). The key step in the study is the statstcal analysis of the interevent tmes, either between events of the same type or between earthquakes and eruptons. This produces quanttatve estmates of the earthquake rate under the influence of flank eruptons, describing the behavior of the coupled volcano tectonic system with the final purpose of performing a multhazard assessment.

During the last 30 years, many studies were carried out on submerged structures in the Italian seas, partcularly in the Tyrrhenian area. Despite the increasing amount of informaton, available data are stll far from complete even for the most studied seamounts; in many cases samples or data sources are not well described, ofen poorlytoungeoreferenced, or presented on schematc maps, in some cases on poorly detailed bathymetry. Within the framework of the EMODnet Geology Project (www.emodnetgeology.eu), more than 230 bibliographic references have been identfied and analysed, with the aim of identfying and cataloguing the available data on the Italian volcanic seamounts. A significant original contributon has also been possible by processing the Italian bathymetric map extracted from the EMODnet Bathymetry Project (www.emodnetbathymetry.eu). The slope maps derived from that bathymetry allowed to infer the areal extent and the volume of the identfied seamounts. Data collected during the compilaton of the volcanic seamount database have been standardized, catalogued and summarized in the 57 ID Sheets that form this Atlas and organised in 7 Volcanic Seamount Sectors. Each Sector is briefly described in terms of geographical, geological and geochemical features. In each ID Sheet, all the informaton related to one or multple seamounts (belonging to the same structure/group) has been classified in five different categories: Morphology, Volcanic structure, Chemical compositon and age, Volcanic products and Brief volcanic evoluton. Each volcanic seamount is illustrated in the related sheet by a figure that shows its morphology by the bathymetry slope map, the extent of its base and the top of the structure. The main features of each volcano are also summarised in a dedicated table and a schematc crosssecton. This work represents the first atempt of a systematc classificaton and cataloguing of the Italian submarine volcanoes, which aims to make all the informaton easily accessible to the researchers/users/public.

Several orders of terraces are present in the coastal proximity, partcularly in the northernmost sector of the Pozzuoli Bay. Archaeological remains of Roman age are nowadays submerged at a water depth between 2 and 16 m in depth, along the western infralitoral zone of the Bay, thus indicatng a prevailing subsidence in this area since Roman tme. Evidences of recent, shallow volcanic structures with a thin marine sediment cover were also detected (e.g., “Monte Dolce”). Relatvely shallow volcanic bodies were mapped on the southernmost border of the caldera, i.e. the Penta Palummo, Miseno and Nisida Banks.

VolcanicIntrusive complexes ofen formed along lateral slabedges as a consequence of subductoninduced mantle flow. In this work, we investgate this process in the southern Tyrrhenian Sea where we discovered a large volcanicintrusive complex developed because of the decompression meltng of upper mantle material flowing along a lateral slabedge. This complex comprises the Diamante, Enotrio, and Ovidio seamounts (DEOS) and extends 50X40 km in the NS and EW directons, respectvely. The study is based on the integraton of high resoluton geophysical data sets (multbeam bathymetry, multchannel seismicreflecton data, magnetc anomalies, and seismological data). The use of different geophysical methods allowed obtaining responses to a variety of physical propertes whose integraton have been fundamental to understanding the dynamic and spatotemporal evoluton of the DEOS. The study area corresponds to the intraslope ridges separatng the Sapri and Paola basins. The bathymetry ranges from 120 m to 3000 m and is characterized by a complex morphology due to the occurrence of seamounts, volcanic cones, fault scarps, ponded basins, channelized features (canyons and gullies) and pockmarks. The seamounts form two chains: the southern chain is formed by the EW alignment of Palinuro, Glabro, Enotrio and Ovidio seamounts, whereas the northern chain is mainly formed by Diamante and an easternmost, unknown seamount (we named Scalea seamount). On seismic profiles, a volcanic belt is inferred throughout the area beneath Ovidio and Diamante seamounts, above the upper contnental crust strongly intruded by volcanics. Sills are also inferred on the base of the highamplitude, contnuous and layered reflectors in the lower sedimentary levels. Three fault systems associated with positve flower structures are identfied in the northwestern sector of the volcanic field. They offset both the volcanics and the sedimentary cover of the Diamante volcano and reach the sea floor. The magnetc anomaly observed in the area is the largest dipole of the northern offshore of the Calabrian Arc and completely overlaps the DEOS area. The 3D inverse model results highlight the source geometry and its relatonship with the seafloor. Moreover, the DEOS seamounts are also located in correspondence to a low Vp/Vs anomaly, reaching minimum values of about 1.66. Finally, the volcanic nature of the DEOS is therefore witnessed by: the typical morphology of these seamounts, the analysis of the seismic facies, the existence of magnetzed material and the seismic velocites. Additonally, sheet and pillow lavas were also observed through ROV dives on the top of the Ovidio seamount.

The Aeolian Archipelago is nowadays well known to be a multhazardprone area where volcanic phenomena, seismic events, and tsunamis have occurred several tmes over the last decades [Romano et al., 2019]. In the eastern part of the Archipelago, a variety of different eruptve periods took place in recent tmes. Off the island of Panarea a sudden unrest of submarine volcanic actvity occurred on November 2002 induced a submarine explosion that opened a “crater” of 20 by 8 meters wide and 7 meters deep. During the unrest period, the huge degassing actvity increased the CO2 flow rate by some orders of magnitude. Apart from the ventng areas already actve before the event, the degassing occurred from many new fractures opened at the seafloor along a N40°E trend and from the crater. Estmatons before the event indicated a degassing rate in the range of 107 litres/day of
CO2, in contrast with the gas vented during the crisis only by the crater, estmated to be in the order of 12 x109 l/d CO2 [Caracausi et al., 2005]. That event dramatcally changed the geochemical features and the degassing rate of the submarine hydrothermal vents spread over the area. A few weeks later the Panarea degassing event, a flank erupton started at Stromboli volcano [Francalanci et al., 1993] on December 28, 2002, following almost a year of growing explosive actvity from the summit craters [Bonaccorso et al., 2003]. A huge flank collapse induced a 20 km3 landslide producing tsunami waves that caused damages around the island of Stromboli, on other Aeolian Islands and along the Northern coast of Sicily. The most recent effusive erupton along the Sciara del Fuoco took place in 2019, started with a huge paroxysm occurred on the 3rd of July and, as reported by fishermen, followed by short and intense bubbling on the sea surface few miles NW off Panarea island. These many underwater events pushed the scientsts to develop new methods to monitor the seafloor degassing actvity. Besides the periodical sample collecton (gases and hot waters for laboratory analyses), a contnuous monitoring has been carried out by a seafloor observatory developed to perform near realtme data transmission [Italiano et al. 2011]. The observatory, deployed off Panarea island, has been equipped with a heterogeneous sensors suite (dissolved CO2, dissolved O2, EC, turbidity, pH, temperature and pressure) (Italiano et al. 2011). Among the other sensors the observatory is equipped with a hydrophone in order to record the noise variatons of the bubbling gases in a frequency range of 0.5 Hz3 kHz, emited at the seafloor as a proxy of the gases outlow variatons. First experiments in this sense gave useful informaton for a tght tectonic link between the submarine volcanic actvity of Panarea island and the crater explosions of the nearby actve volcanic island of Stromboli [Heinicke et al., 2009]. 283 284 MISCELLANEA INGV n. 52 la fossa area), besidesthecontemporary variaton of the Stromboli by meanof CO contemporaneous modificatons of the vented fluidsandthedegassingactvity of thenearby Data from thecontnuous monitoringof thesubmarinehydrothermal vents., showing related tothe volcanic actvity of thenearby Stromboli island. recordings; thehydrothermal fluids vented off Panarea have shown significant changes strongly a definitefrequency interval.

Morphostructural analysis of the Graham Volcanic Field offshore southwestern Sicily (Italy) by means of bathymetric data and ROV images
Danilo Cavallaro, Mauro Coltelli
Isttuto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Sezione di Catania Osservatorio Etneo, Italy
Highresoluton multbeam bathymetric data and ROV images allowed to characterize in detail a submarine volcanic field, named Graham Volcanic Field, located 4050 km offshore southwestern Sicily [Cavallaro and Coltelli, 2019]. Data were collected in 2012 during a multdisciplinary oceanographic cruise focused on the seafloor mapping and on the geophysical and geochemical monitoring of some volcanic centres located in the NW sector of the Sicily Channel [Coltelli et al., 2016]. The Graham Volcanic Field is located on the western side of a relatvely shallow (maximum depth of about 350 m) submarine relief, which also includes the Terrible and Nerita banks. The field comprises a ten of monogenetc tephra cones showing steep slopes and pointy or flat tops and heights from 88 to 144 m. The cones are arranged along a NS trending and 12 km long belt at 150250 m b.s.l. The volcanic field includes the relict of the shortlived Ferdinandea Island produced during the welldocumented 1831 Surtseyantype erupton and presently shaping, together with an adjacent submarine cone, the Graham Bank. The presentday morphology of the cones is the result of the interplay between volcanic actvity, wave and current erosion, masswastng and depositonal processes, in relatonship with sealevel change, actng in both subaerial and submarine environments. The morphostructural analysis of the field has been achieved to measure the main morphometric parameters of the cones. The analysis of some morphological parameters, such as level of erosive actvity of the cones slopes, presence and depth of summit abrasion platorms and depositonal terraces, in relatonship with sealevel change and vertcal mobility affectng the area, allowed to reasonably constrain the age of the volcanism at postLGM (Last Glacial Maximum, 20 ka). This analysis was carried out taking also into account analogies with other submarine volcanic cones worldwide, such as the satellite shoals of Surtsey volcano (Iceland) [Romagnoli and Jakobsson, 2015]. ROV dives allowed to image the top of the Ferdinandea shoal (minimum depth is 9 m b.s.l.), which is characterized by subvertcal volcanic knolls, and the lava flow (the only one recognised within the entre field) identfied on the western flank of the Graham Bank. The distributon and shape of the cones provide important insights into the interacton between volcanism and tectonics. The alignment of the volcanic cones within the field and the main axis of the clusters in which they are grouped reveal two preferred directons, NS and NWSE, respectvely, consistent with those of the main tectonic structures of the Sicily Channel. Another volcanic field, named Terribile Volcanic Field, was also identfied on the adjacent Terribile Bank and analysed, suggestng an older age with respect to the Graham Volcanic Field. The relatonship between the morphology of the seamounts and underwater volcanic processes proved the monogenetc nature of this volcanism, which is part of a wider and scatered volcanism affectng the northwestern Sicily Channel.

The study of human setlements on Etna, regarding in partcular prehistory, must take into account the pedological and hydrographic characteristcs, with partcular reference to the morphology and chronology of the lava flows and the presence of springs located mainly along the periphery of the volcano and rarely at medium and high alttudes. Most of the prehistoric sites are concentrated on the western and northern flanks, since the southern one is almost entrely occupied by lava flows of historical epoch (< 2700 years BP), while on the eastern flank the few sites so far identfied are generally found under pyroclastc deposits and soils of considerable thickness. The oldest human presences are those of the Middle Neolithic (2nd half of the 6th millennium BC), in an area of springs in the territories of Paterno’ and Belpasso, and in the territory of Adrano, on the border between the Elliptcal volcano lava flow (Piano Provenzana formaton, age 4015 ka BP, from Branca et al. [2011]), and alluvial deposits. These setlements are part of the Neolithic village typology with a predominantly agricultural economy. In the last phase of the Neolithic, at the end of the fifh millennium BC, areas of land more favourable for grazing or itnerant agriculture on a seasonal basis begin to be frequented on a larger scale, generally on Ellitco lava flows. Pastoral actvites are demonstrated by the results of archaeozoological analyses of some sites, indicatng the prevalence of sheepgoat breeding compared to catle, as well as by the discovery of typical tools for milk processing. Agriculture required large quartzite tools suitable for a superficial working of the lava soil and millstones for cereals. As in the previous phase, the occasional use of the caves atested, which in these first phases probably served as temporary shelter, even if it cannot be excluded that they began to be used for their symbolic value in relaton to the underground world, which would later become prevalent. Indeed, it should be noted that in the vast area of Balze Soprane, on the lavas of Monte La Nave (Piano Provenzana formaton), a necropolis was discovered with Neolithic pit tombs. During the Late Copper Age, afer 2800 BC, the human presence at the medium alttudes increased. The setlements of this period are located above lava flows of the primitve Mongibello volcano, (formaton Pietracannone, lower member, age 153.9 ka BP). In one case (Contrada Marca di Castglione) on lava of the flow called Alcantara, following a stratgraphic excavaton, it was seen that the thickness of the ground preceding anthropizaton was very modest, such as not to allow agriculture. It should be noted that most of the archaeological sites known for this period, especially in the hills or mountains, are represented by caves. However, they should not be considered places of habitaton, even temporary, unless in some partcular cases (for example, Grota delle Femmine, 1,600 m a.s.l.). Instead, they mainly had funerary and symbolic functons, connected to villages located at lower alttudes, especially during the Ancient Bronze Age (2,200 1,500 BC), or were periodic meetng places for burials and other ceremonies during presumed seasonal movements linked to pastoralism at higher alttudes. However, there is evidence of openair setlements up to an alttude of 800 m, as in two cases in the Randazzo 293 294 MISCELLANEA INGV n. 52 within theindividualareas, with basepoints andareas destnedfor seasonalmovements. organizaton of theterritory more sothanonlargescale movements of nomadicgroups, at least and dry farminginthehilly terrain.

Archaeological and volcanological studies revealed that eruptons of Neapolitan volcanoes have interacted with human life since prehistory. The occurrence of high intensity explosive eruptons, interspersed with long periods of quiescence, has characterized the last 10 ka of actvity of these volcanoes. Geoarchaeological studies, carried out in advance of investgatons for the constructon of the RomeNaples and the new NaplesBari train lines, made it possible a detailed reconstructon of the human presence in the central part of the Piana Campana up to the coastal strip, between the late Neolithic and the late Bronze Age. The examined chronological interval includes the sequence of pyroclastc deposits and paleosols overlaying the products of the Pigna S. Nicola (Campi Flegrei, 95339201 cal bp) or Pomici di Mercato (Vesuvius, 8890±90 cal. bp) eruptons. The sequence includes the deposits of the following eruptons: Agnano 3 (Campi Flegrei, >4757 cal bp), Paleoastroni 2 (Campi Flegrei, 47124757 cal bp), Agnano Monte Spina (Campi Flegrei, 46254482 cal bp), at least four units of Astroni, occurred in a short period (Campi Flegrei, 40984345 cal bp), and finally the Pomici di Avellino (Vesuvius, 3945+10 cal bp). The presence of palaeosurfaces with evidences of anthropic frequentaton, has been important to infer the age of secondary phenomena. The definiton isochronous surfaces were useful in making correlatons also in absence of diagnostc archaeological findings. All the geoarchaeological data, collected during tenyear excavatons, have been revisited, contextualized and organised in a GIS database. They provide a detailed picture of human setlements and actvites through tme with a partcular focus in the period of occurrence of explosive eruptons of both Campi Flegrei and Vesuvius. Their analysis allows to draw some preliminary conclusions: Even the recent and final Neolithic show the presence of sites that grow to a maximum distance of 22.5 km from the current course of the Clanis river (present Regi Lagni) and along the slope on the edge of the Sebeto river depression, whereas in the surrounding high areas, there is a marked absence of evidence of human presence, as well as in the Sebeto morphological depression characterized by wetmarshy soils both in prehistoric and historical tmes; The Agnano 3 and Paleoastroni 2 eruptons accumulated in the Campanian Plain only thin ash beds which do not seem to inhibit the use of the areas, as suggested by the contnuity in the use of the landscape for both setlements and agriculture; The AgnanoMonte Spina erupton determines a significant accumulaton of pumice and ash layers, but despite the high thickness, the erupton does not seem to have led to a prolonged break in the use of the areas. The deposit is very permeable and not very cohesive and this has certainly inhibited large alluvial phenomena, has favored pedogenesis and resetlements. Once again, the setlements seem to be located close to the river basins, while we do not have significant evidence of agricultural areas; The Astroni eruptons, like the other mediumlow energy ones already mentoned, do not seem to determine caesuras in the frequentaton of the area. The change in the use of some areas seems rather determined by variatons in the populaton structure linked to the mobility of 295 296 MISCELLANEA INGV n. 52 three centuries from theerupton.

The volcanic island of Ustca (9 km2) is located in the Tyrrhenian Sea about 58 km north northwest from Palermo, Sicily, in a strategical positon for the routes that lead from the Aeolian Islands to Western Sicily and from Western Sicily to the southern Sardinia. Ustca was setled since Neolithic tmes untl the Middle Bronze Age (about 40001300 BC). Since 2017, a paleoenvironmental analysis of the Ustca island has been carried out within the project Brains2Islands, aimed to the investgaton of humanenvironmental dynamics on small volcanic islands of the Thyrrenian sea during prehistory. Surveys and field actvites brought to light several prehistoric sites in the island and helped in defining more precisely the setled areas. The island was interested by unsystematc archaeological surveys, excavaton campaigns and numerous anthropic actvites which, over the last century, have brought to light numerous archaeological remains, atestng an occupaton from prehistoric tmes to today with short interrupton phases [Spatafora, 2009; Mannino and Ailara, 2016]. Moreover, the geomorphology of the places makes the island partcularly suitable for cultvaton actvites, as clearly shown by the agricultural exploitaton and by the employment of the land during the historical phases [Tranchina, 1982]. All this made possible to outline the setlement dynamics on the island as early as the end of the Neolithic, with the identficaton of the site of Punta Spalmatore [Mannino, 1998], to date the only site indicated as Neolithic on the whole island. Occupaton of the inital and middle Copper ages are instead present in the Grota Azzurra and Grota di San Francesco on the southeastern side of the island and on Piano dei Cardoni [Mannino and Ailara, 2014 ;2016]. As part of the Brains2Islands project, startng from December 2016, new research has been carried out on the entre territory of the island of Ustca, with partcular atenton to Mezzogiorno and the Colunnella area. On Piano dei Cardoni, a relevant concentraton of prehistoric materials (from the Middle Neolithic to the Middle Bronze Age) was detected in the socalled “supravia” area, which was therefore selected for further research and it is now under stratgraphic excavaton and detailed study. The site is atributable to the end of the Neolithic/beginning of the Copper Age (presence of potery from the Diana culture, incised decoratons, whiteandred painted and burnished wares). The area of about 36 sqm so far investgated in Piano dei Cardoni shows therefore the presence of a setlement, whose entty and extension is stll to explore and interpret, in order to recreate the framework of setlement patern and subsistence system at the end of the Neolithic age on a small island afer the first human occupaton.

Life on the edge of the sea in a volcanic island: the geomorphological background of the choice of prehistoric human settlements at Ustica (Palermo, Italy)

The island of Ustca is located in the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea, 70 km north of Palermo (Italy). It represents the emergent part (8,6 km2) of a submarine volcano whose actvity developed during the Pleistocene and ended ~ 130 ka BP. This study aims to investgate the geomorphological and environmental causes that conditoned the choice of human setlements at Ustca during the Prehistoric Age, a period characterized by the intense human occupaton of the island. Archaeologists documented the presence of humans at Ustca since the Neolithic Age (~ 8 ka BP), then in the Eneolithic Age (~ 65 ka BP), Early Bronze Age (~ 4 ka BP) and Middle Bronze Age (~ 3,43,2 ka BP). The first Neolithic Age setlement was probably built on the flat top of Pirozza hill, on the southwestern sector of Spalmatore. Pirozza hill is a small promontory facing the sea, about 50 m asl, cut on columnar basalts. The top of Pirozza is part of the MIS 7 Crotonian marine terrace (~ 210 ka BP). When observed from the sea, it appears like a fortress. According to the style of ceramic potery (Stentnello, Trichrome and Diana), some archaeologists suggest that the first Neolithic populaton landed at Ustca came from Palermo. The Neolithic people setled on that elevated place in order to dominate the southwestern sector of Ustca and control the sea between Sicily and the island. The setlement lasted for a long tme, and expanded into the surrounding areas, as shown by ceramic fragments stll found around the site. In the same area, fragments of obsidian tools were also discovered. As the volcanism of Ustca did not produce volcanic glasses, the obsidian artfacts were imported. The provenance areas of the obsidians, determined by means of geochemical analyses, are Lipari and Pantelleria, atestng the far exchanges between Ustca and the two islands since the beginning of prehistory. At Piano dei Cardoni, on the southern hinterland of the island, at an alttude of about 100 m asl, another key site for prehistoric presence was found. Untl recently, it was thought that the oldest setlement in this part of the island dates back to the Eneolithic (or Chalcolithic) Age. Recently, an excavaton essay brought to light also artfacts of the Neolithic Age. In the course of archaeological surface surveys and shallow excavatons, many products of the ceramic industry together with abundant obsidian fragments were collected, the later atributable to Lipari and Pantelleria outcrops too. At Piano dei Cardoni, bedrock is cut on the basalt of Monte Guardia dei Turchi (~520 ka BP), which is covered by Crotonian marine terrace deposits (~ 350 ka BP). The geomorphological features of the area, sloping toward the sea without obstacles, demonstrate reduced defense needs, which were entrusted only to the high coast overlooking the sea. Probably, the improved security in a period between Neolithic and Eneolithic Ages pushed the inhabitants to favor landward sectors which are more protected by salt weathering and prone to agriculture and sheepfarming. During the Early Bronze Age, the populaton returned to extremely defended sites. The 299 300 MISCELLANEA INGV n. 52 can not beexcluded. or three centuries afer hisfoundaton.

Documents and collections for the history of earth pigments and diatomaceous earth ore deposits of Monte Amiata volcano (Tuscany, Italy)
Luigina Vezzoli, Claudia Principe
CNR, Isttuto di Geoscienze e Georisorse, Pisa, Italy
At the base of the slopes of Monte Amiata volcano (southern Tuscany, Italy), small extnct lake basins of upper Pleistocene age are documented. These lake basins were characterized by the depositon of two very different types of sediment. The first type is a biogenic, predominantly siliceous sediment, consistng of the fossil frustules of microscopic unicellular algae of the Diatomacea family. It has an ultrafine grain size, is sof and crumbly, with an earthy texture and a pure white color. This sediment is called diatomaceous earth or fossil flour. The second type of sediment is of mixed chemical and biochemical origin with scarce terrigenous components. It derives from the precipitaton of iron oxides (limonite/goethite) from low temperature hydrothermal fluids rich in ferrous solutes, assisted by the presence of ferrobacteria. This sediment assumes colors from light yellow to red, brown and black, and has the characteristcs of earth pigments. The age of the sedimentaton in these lacustrine basins (140130 ka) is younger than the volcanic actvity of the Monte Amiata volcano (304230 ka), but the presence of earth pigments and diatomaceous earth ore deposits is closely related to the high availability of colloidal silica and ferrous solutes in the mineral, ferruginous and acidic waters draining the volcanic edifice. Both the diatomaceous earth and earth pigments of Mount Amiata volcano are minerals that are widely used by man for various applicatons since ancient tmes and they preserve the biological and physical testmonies of the environmental and climatc changes of the upper Pleistocene. For these reasons, they represent geological materials with a fundamental cultural value. The principal natural earth pigments which were extracted on the lake sediments of Monte Amiata are raw and burnt sienna, raw and burnt umber, and bole. Each of these names represents a natural material with a definite mineralogical compositon and peculiar chemical and physical characteristcs. The natural earth pigments exclusively mined at Monte Amiata comprise the famous terra di Siena (raw sienna) and terra di Siena bruciata (burnt sienna) that have been ones of the yellowbrown and red pigments most widely used by Italian and European painters from the Renaissance to 19th century (e.i., Gioto, Vasari, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Turner). The Monte Amiata earth pigments were of high quality, because they were durable and permanents, transparent or semitransparent, with good color strength and a high coatng efficiency. These excellent propertes derived from their compositon with a high content of iron oxides and their homogeneity and grain fineness. The first report on the recovery and use of natural earths like pigments in the territory of the citystate of Siena is the Tratato della pitura (Treatse on paintng) writen in vernacular Italian in the midfifeenth century by the Tuscan painter Cennino di Andrea Cennini (1370? 1440?). The diatomaceous earths were known since Roman tmes and were called lacts lunae, agarico minerale, and Terra Lemnia. Literary documents begin in the 16th century, with the descriptons of Andrea Cesalpino, Konrad Gesner, Giorgio Agricola, and Ferrante Imperato. Specific references to the diatomites of Monte Amiata are in the Museo di Fisica e di esperienze by Paolo Boccone [1697], and in the Musaeum Kircherianum by Filippo Bonanno [1709]. 301 302 MISCELLANEA INGV n. 52 described by theFlorentne botanist Pier Antonio Micheli in1733.During the18t The quarryingactvity of earthpigments anddiatomaceous earthsof Monte Amiata was also of Monte Amiata. because they are theonly remaining evidence of theore depositsinthelacustrinesediments Natural Sciences and Territory of Calci(Pisa).

Stromboli is the northeasternmost island of the Aeolian Archipelago volcanic arc in the southern Tyrrhenian sea, located in a strategic positon for Mediterranean maritme routes and with a rich history of cultural development. The Archipelago has been inhabited, in its most central islands of Lipari and Salina, since the 6th millennium BCE (Early Neolithic). On Stromboli the first human evidence is dated to the 4th millennium BCE, corresponding to the archaeological phase of Late Neolithic/Early Chalcolithic. The magmas eruptng at Stromboli during the whole Holocene are relatvely basic to intermediate, and therefore the large explosive eruptons typical of intermediate to highsilica magmas of arc volcanoes are not recorded in this tme interval. Nonetheless, the volcano generated catastrophic events, including paroxysmal eruptons and tsunamis. Recent archaeological investgatons reveal a complex occupaton patern with phases characterized by flourishing human presence alternatng with abandonments. We present here for the first tme a general preliminary reconstructon of the cultural development on the island. The occupaton the main archaeological sites (San Vincenzo, Serra Fareddu, Ginostra and Fico Grande) on the island is discussed with new cultural and historical evidence and more than 50 radiocarbon dates, in order to outline human choices over the last 6000 years, during which coexistence with an actve volcano could be difficult.

Mercalli, Wegener and Rittmann’s studies on volcanism and orogenesis
Daniele Musumeci
Università di Catania, Dipartmento Scienze Umanistche, Italy
The 20th century represents a golden age in the development of the Earth Sciences. The entre century was animated by numerous debates, from which the basis of the current scientfic structures of geosciences would emerge. The most evident result, also known to nonexperts, was the formulaton of a global tectonic theory: there were to be many formulatons untl, at the end of the 1960s, the dominant paradigm, Plate Tectonics, was affirmed. Looking at the beginning of the century, one may observe how the geoscientfic panorama was very different and rather fragmented. In partcular, the study of volcanism and orogenesis was undertaken separately: by investgatng the evoluton of the study of these phenomena, it is possible to understand how we have arrived at successive conceptons that theorize them in a synoptc view. The work focuses on three scientsts: Giuseppe Mercalli (18501914), Alfred Wegener (18801930) and Alfred Ritmann (18931980). These are three famous scientsts that have marked the history of the disciplines they investgated. More specifically, we will analyze one text for each character: the first text is Mercalli’s “I vulcani atvi della Terra. Morfologia, dinamismo, prodot, distribuzione geografica, cause” [1907]. This work, centred around the presentaton of an overall view of volcanology, contains in chapter IX an important line of research that would lead to the studies of the following decades: a connecton between volcanic phenomena and other endogenous and exogenous phenomena of our planet. The second text is Wegener’s “Formazione dei contnent e degli oceani” [1976], an Italian translaton of the fourth German editon [1929] of his most important text, published a year before the German scientst’s death. Wegener is the promoter of a celebrated mobilist vision, namely Contnental Drif, the object of numerous critcisms and approvals, as well as able to enliven the debates over half a century: its approach represents a real watershed. The third text is Ritmann’s “Vulcani. Atvità e genesi” [1944]. Between 1936 and 1944, the eclectc Swiss scientst theorized the first scientfic system focusing on magmatology and tectonics, giving a new form to volcanology and insertng it within an organic relatonship with the other Earth Sciences. The monograph of 1944, despite being less wellknown than the three editons of “Vulkane und irhe Tätgkeit” [1936; 1960; 1981], represents an important step in the comparison between volcanism and orogenesis. The three texts, writen or translated into Italian, allow us to follow the comparison and the mutual evoluton of these studies: we will see how the questons and answers expressed in the first two texts find a new and important synthesis in the third and final book examined.

The “Historia Aetnae” of Natale di Pace: a case study
Luigi Ingaliso
Università di Catania, Dipartmento Scienze Umanistche, Italy
Beginning in the Seventeenth century, descriptons of Etna began to change: on the one hand there were the traditonal works that illustrate the eruptve events and their consequences on the lives of the populatons that live at slopes of the volcano, on the other side there were the books that analyze the individual eruptons as a case study of a general theoretcal model. This transiton from a traditonal narratve scheme to one more scientfically modern, it is represented by the Natale di Pace Compendium manuscript in which, while maintaining a traditonal argumentatve framework, there is the philosophical need to bring the observed volcanic phenomena back to a single origin, more adherent to the new observatons

The review of historical informaton relatng to the classic age and medieval period, the discovery of new documents, and their comparison with the geological data, lead to hypothesize that the volcanic actvity in the area occurred in three main phases: i) a Roman era phase, probably in the 2nd and 1st centuries BC, during which tme a first island emerged from the ocean, and was subsequently eroded by the sea (PaleoVulcanello); ii) an important medieval phase, that took place in the same area, in the 1011th century or so, and led to the constructon of a stable island (Medieval Vulcanello) with formaton of the cones n.1 and n. 2 and the main lava platorm; and iii) a Late MedievalModern phase in the 15th and 16th centuries which led to the formaton of cone n. 3 and the lava flow of Punta del Roveto and Valle dei Mostri.

Descriptions of Etna eruptions at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries through the chronicles and drawings of the inedited compendium of Natale di Pace
Stefano Branca
Isttuto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Sezione di Catania Osservatorio Etneo, Italy
The actvity of archpriest Natale di Pace (1565post 1640) of Bronte town, on the lower NW slope of Etna, is temporally framed in a very intense eruptve period the volcano between the second half of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. During the seventeenth century, Etna produced the greatest eruptons in historical tme, in terms of lava volumes and the highly destructve impact on the territory and the urban fabric. In this important period of the volcano’s actvity, despite a gradual increase in interest in volcanic phenomena, there are stll gaps in the documentary sources and discrepancies as evidenced by recent historiographic studies. In this regard, the observatons of the eruptve actvity reported in the “Compendio della Naturale Historia di MonGibello” by Natale di Pace in 1621 [Scalisi et al., 2019] consttute only a few pages representng inedited descriptons that in few cases add new knowledge to the field of historical studies of Etna’s eruptons, although they show numerous inconsistencies on the dates of the events. In partcular, the analysis of the compendium confirms that the eruptve period between the 16th and 17th centuries described in contemporary sources remains incomplete. The doubts and uncertaintes of the historical documents highlight, once again, the scarce reliability of the use of such sources to reconstruct the eruptve history of the volcanoes in absence of a comparison with geological evidence. A highly innovatve aspect of the compendium, on the other hand, are the illustratons accompanying the manuscript. These are watercolor and gouache drawings, probably realized by the painter Giuseppe di Vit, which illustrate the theory on the origin of volcanic phenomena described in the manuscript. Some of them, of high artstc atractveness, generically represent the different types of eruptve events that occur on Etna without any reference to specific eruptons described in the compendium. In partcular, the author in some drawings summarizes schematcally all the eruptve phenomena he observed during the complex and long period of actvity that characterized the first twenty years of the seventeenth century, antcipatng the same typology of drawings that illustrate the volcanological works from the end of the nineteenth century [Abate & Branca, 2015]. In this context, the watercolor drawings of the Natale di Pace compendium are distnctve in the long iconographic journey that has characterized the illustraton of Etna’s eruptve phenomena from the sixteenth century onwards.

The name of Salinelle indicates natural manifestatons of emission of fluids, ofen but not always with formaton of mud volcanoes, that occur near the town of Paternò, on the SW slopes of Mt. Etna volcano. Three sites are marked by these natural phenomena: the Salinelle of Capuchins or of the Stadium (Paternò), the Salinelle of the River (Paternò) and Salinelle of Vallone Salato or of San Biagio (Belpasso). These manifestatons are characterized by the emission of natural hypersaline water, generally at room temperature, mud, gas and liquid hydrocarbons. These sites are peculiar, if not unique. Unlike other mud volcanoes around the world, whose driving gas is mostly methane, the gases from the Salinelle mostly come from a deep magmatc source (close to mantletype). Magmatc gases, probably composed of highenthalpy brines carrying a lot of heat, produce hydrothermal conditons in a shallow groundwater system and then mix with crustal gas coming a hydrocarbons reservoir afer interceptng it through leakage along a regional fault system. The resultng fluids emited at the surface produce unique landforms, with bland relief due to an abundant liquid component with a low clay fracton (other mud volcanoes in Italy and around the world typically emit fluids highly enriched in mud or clay). Because of the large contributon from deep magmatc gases, the output of fluids at the Salinelle is strongly linked with the deep actvity of Mt. Etna. Paroxysmal mud eruptons normally precede new cycles of volcanic actvity of Etna by a few to several months. These eruptons are ofen spectacular and release thermalized waters (Temperature up to about 50°C), which makes the Salinelle interestng also for volcanological and geothermal studies. Another peculiar feature of the Salinelle is that the emission of fluids is contnuous, though with much lesser intensity, even during periods without paroxysms, in contrast to what happens at other mudvolcano sites. The site of the Salinelle of Capuchins (set up with D.A. 581/2015) has been recently considered by the regional government of Sicily for an important redevelopment acton, in order to open the site to visitors with all the necessary infrastructures for tourist recepton, informaton and guidance through it (“Linee Guida per la redazione del Piano di Gestone dei Geosit: D.A. 367/GAB, 24.10.2019”). The site will also be provided with uptodate monitoring systems for acquisiton of geochemical and geophysical signals. This will give the scientfic community an important opportunity for modeling this exceptonal natural system and for understanding how it works.

The island of Pantelleria is located in the Sicily Channel Rif Zone (SCRZ) and represents the emerged tp of an underwater volcano complex with 72% lying below sea level, down to a depth of about 1200 m. Its origin is linked to the Pantelleria graben, one of the three main tectonic depressions of the NWSE trending extensional area in the SCRZ. The rifing process has been actve since the Late Miocene, accompanied by widespread volcanic actvity mainly concentrated on the islands of Pantelleria and Linosa and the Bannock Seamount. The volcanic actvity of Pantelleria started at least 320 ka before present (BP) and was characterized by large explosive events, sometmes followed by caldera collapses, alternatng with mild eruptons. The last calderic collapse occurred 4450 ka BP. The last episode of eruptve actvity, occurring in 1891, 5 Km NW offshore North of Pantelleria, showed that the volcanic actvity is stll present in the submerged part of the island. To date, the volcanism of Pantelleria is stll ongoing with the presence of a natural spa, thermal springs, fumaroles, that are located along the main tectonic structures. Currently, some of these places are officially recognized as Geosites and in partcular “Favara Grande”, “Fumarole della Vecchia Caserma”, “Monte Gibele”, and “Specchio di Venere” are protected by the Parco Nazionale dell’Isola di Pantelleria. The island’s trail network comprises as many as 19 paths, for a total of almost 100 km, with different themes, ranging from the naturalistc to the geological and the historical to the rural, and varying in the type of route, namely pointtopoint or circular, as well as in length and height. This work aims to describe the Geosites of Pantelleria and highlight the geovolcanological characteristcs of the island’s trails.

Micro erosion meters (MEMs), following High and Hanna [1970], and traversing micro erosion meters (TMEMs), following Trudgill et al. [1981], allow evaluatng the rock lowering rates. They have been widely used on carbonate rocks in different environments, such as coasts, caves, buildings, but rarely on volcanics. We discuss preliminary data collected from May 2016 to June 2017 on the island of Ustca, which is composed of Middle Pleistocene to Late Pleistocene volcanic rocks. The island is 8.6 km2 and the maximum elevaton is 248 m a.s.l. The installaton of micro erosion meter statons and data organizaton were carried out following the method suggested by Furlani et al. [2009] for the Trieste karst area. We placed 12 statons on volcanic rocks in 7 sites on the island of Ustca to measure the lowering rates on such rocks, ranging from 20 to 200 m a.s.l. Three samples were collected around the island and located at the site of Rocca della Falconiera, at 150 m a.s.l. The studied rocks are compact lavas and tuffs of basalt or trachybasalt compositon. The analysis of three years of measurements highlighted means lowering rates ranging from 0.001 mm/a to 0.025 mm/a. All the iron nails used in the project are oxidized afer only one year of measurements, suggestng to use ttanium nails also for the sites located at highest elevatons, since all the island is affected by spray weathering.

Knowledge of hydrothermal fluid emissions can provide detailed informaton about processes operatng at different depths, such as geothermal fluids upwelling with their own characteristcs’ variable over tmes. In partcular, at the “Salinelle of Mt. Etna Geosite (Paternò and Belpasso, Eastern Sicily), natural emissions of fluids have been contnuously occurring for at least 12 ka. Their main peculiarity consists of a fluid phase made of salty water, mud, gas and liquid hydrocarbons originated from an admixture of magmatc and hydrothermal gas, leading to the formaton of mud volcanoes with the most peculiar morphologies [Giammanco et al., 2016]. Our study mainly focused on the thermophysical and geochemical monitoring of the hydrothermal fluids emissions of the more actve site known as “Salinelle dei Cappuccini”, in the Western part of the city of Paterno’. In order to compare this actvity with that of other hydrothermal vents in the same area, the “Salinelle del Fiume” (Paternò) and the “Salinelle di San Biagio” (Belpasso) Geosites were also investgated. In partcular, field and laboratory analyses were conducted over more than oneyear monitoring. They consisted on: i) contnuous water temperature monitoring, using sophistcated thermal sensors (accuracy of 0.1°C) immersed in the pooling waters; ii) InfraRed Thermography (IRT) measures, using a thermal camera (resoluton of 320 x 240 pixel) [Chicco et al., 2019]; iii) Thermal Conductvity propertes determinatons, through a commercial device consistng of a needle probe directly inserted in the investgated material during both field and lab actvites; iv) mineralogical compositons through XRay diffracton; v) geochemical analysis, focusing on Electrolytc Conductvity, Salinity, CO2 and Rn determinatons, using specific portable field. This was followed by mud/water sampling for VOC (Volatle Organic Content), Alkalinity, Electrical Conductvity, major species in soluton and oxygen lab determinatons. A further study centered on seismic parameters evaluaton such as the Magnitude and its relatonship with the frequency of seismic events all around the Mt. Etna area. This revealed useful in verifying how seismic actvity linked to volcanic events can affect mud volcanoes actvity. Obtained results highlighted a direct correlaton between Temperature and Thermal Conductvity data as well as between Electrical Potental and Electrical
Conductvity, without any link with CO2 and Rn contents. Daily temperatures showed a constant trend characterized by higher values (up to 35°C and more) within the first monitoring period, followed by a strong decrease (down to 9°C) and then a new gradual increase over the following months. This large variaton seems to be linked to magmatc processes occurring at depth below Mt. Etna, likely related to early stages of magma upraise towards the surface. In partcular, the higher the frequency of seismic events and then the higher the daily energy released, the higher temperature variatons observed. This correlaton could be explained by the ascent of new gas rich magma from the deepest magma reservoir of Mt.

A room in the Archaeological Museum of Villa Arbusto (Lacco Ameno, Ischia) was set up to house the collecton of rocks and fossils collected by the renowned archaeologist Giorgio Buchner during his excavaton actvity on the Island of Ischia. The collecton is witness to a long multdisciplinary research actvity that saw archaeological studies at the center of volcanological, pedological and palaeoenvironmental researches aimed at reconstructng the archaeological contexts in the complex geological dynamics of the island. During the different phases of colonizaton recorded on the island volcanoes were actve and produced explosive and effusive eruptons, accompanied by a strong geological dynamic that included earthquakes, landslides (even gigantc ones), rapid ground uplif and strong hydrothermal actvity. The samples on display “tell” the evoluton of the island and its dynamics in four windows and a chest of drawers, where there is an expositon of the products of the various eruptons, from the oldest to the most recent, sedimentary rocks and the collecton of fossils and microfossils found in marine sediments, displaced at variable alttudes by the rapid volcanotectonic deformatons that characterize the island. A series of panels and monitors accompany the visitor along a path that, startng from the geological evoluton of the island, passes through the relatonship between humans and the volcano, the main volcanic phenomena and the reconstructon of an archaeological excavaton of exceptonal value, where it is possible to see the strong interacton between primary and secondary volcanic phenomena and a human setlement of the first Greek colony in the west: Pithecusae. The exhibiton was designed with the purpose of educatng the visitors and the local populaton about the natural history of the island and its volcanoes, and their impact on the human life through tme The room has been set up by the Naples secton of INGV Osservatorio Vesuviano in collaboraton with the Archaeological Superintence and the DISTAR of the University of Naples Federico II.
