Flank instability at Mt. Etna
Due to their constant and relatively rapid growth, volcanic edifices are inherently unstable. Flank instability is observed at many polygenetic stratovolcanoes, composite volcanoes and shield volcanoes worldwide. Flank instability may occur suddenly, or develop in a more continuous and subtle way, accelerated by triggering events (magma emplacement, eruptions and earthquakes). Destabilization i...
متن کاملInsensitivity of Tree-Ring Growth to Temperature and Precipitation Sharpens the Puzzle of Enhanced Pre-Eruption NDVI on Mt. Etna (Italy)
On Mt. Etna (Italy), an enhanced Normalized Difference in Vegetation Index (NDVI) signature was detected in the summers of 2001 and 2002 along a distinct line where, in November 2002, a flank eruption subsequently occurred. These observations suggest that pre-eruptive volcanic activity may have enhanced photosynthesis along the future eruptive fissure. If a direct relation between NDVI and futu...
متن کاملLava flow hazards at Mount Etna: constraints imposed by eruptive history and numerical simulations
Improving lava flow hazard assessment is one of the most important and challenging fields of volcanology, and has an immediate and practical impact on society. Here, we present a methodology for the quantitative assessment of lava flow hazards based on a combination of field data, numerical simulations and probability analyses. With the extensive data available on historic eruptions of Mt. Etna...
متن کاملTree-ring width reveals the preparation of the 1974 Mt. Etna eruption
Reduced near-infrared reflectance observed in September 1973 in Skylab images of the western flank of Mt. Etna has been interpreted as an eruption precursor of the January 1974 eruption. Until now, it has been unclear when this signal started, whether it was sustained and which process(es) could have caused it. By analyzing tree-ring width time-series, we show that the reduced near-infrared pre...
متن کاملDeep Earthquakes as a Precursor of the September- October 1989 Flank Eruption at Mt. Etna Volcano (italy)
The September-October 1989 flank eruption at Mt. Etna marked a change in the recent eruptive style of the volcano. Seismicity, at mid (order of months) and short (order of days) time, preceding the eruption onset has been analysed by means of D (time fractal dimension), and of materials science equation. The behaviour of the upper and lower crust volumes has been investigated, by considering sh...
