High-frequency source localization in the Strait of Sicily
One of the keys for a successful inversion of acoustic data using the Matched-field Processing (MFP) technique is the amount of environmental and geometric information available. When this information is missing or erroneous then one is in the presence of model mismatch. To work at higher frequencies provides better discrimination in range and depth but also increases the dependency of the inve...
متن کاملPost-supereruption recovery at Toba Caldera
Large calderas, or supervolcanoes, are sites of the most catastrophic and hazardous events on Earth, yet the temporal details of post-supereruption activity, or resurgence, remain largely unknown, limiting our ability to understand how supervolcanoes work and address their hazards. Toba Caldera, Indonesia, caused the greatest volcanic catastrophe of the last 100 kyr, climactically erupting ∼74 ...
متن کاملCaldera rim collapse: A hidden volcanic hazard
Following the emblematic fl ank collapse of Mount St Helens in 1981, numerous models of flank sliding have been proposed. These models have allowed to largely improve the understanding of mechanisms involved in such landslides, which represent a tremendous risk for populations living around volcanoes. In this article, a new mode of landslide formation, related to buried calderas, is described. ...

متن کاملPapillary thyroid cancer incidence in the volcanic area of Sicily.
BACKGROUND The steadily increasing incidence of thyroid cancer has been attributed mostly to more sensitive thyroid nodule screening. However, various environmental factors, such as those associated with volcanic areas, cannot be excluded as risk factors. We evaluated thyroid cancer incidence in Sicily, which has a homogenous population and a province (Catania) that includes the Mt Etna volcani...
