Robovolc: “A Robot for Volcano Exploration” is the name of a project funded by the European Commission, whose activities started in 2000. The main purpose of the ROBOVOLC project has been the development and trial of an automatic robotic system to explore and perform measurements in a volcanic environment. The robot, shown in Fig.1, has been realized to minimize the risk for volcanologists who ...

Abrupt transitions in style and intensity are common during volcanic eruptions, with an immediate impact on the surrounding territory and its population. Defining the factors trigger such sudden shifts in the eruptive behavior as well as developing methods to predict such changes during volcanic crises are crucial goals in volcanology. In our research, the combined investigation of both petrolo...

This paper examines the philosophy and evolution of volcanological science in recent years, particularly in relation to the growth of volcanic hazard and risk science. It uses the lens of Science and Technology Studies to examine the ways in which knowledge generation is controlled and directed by social forces, particularly during eruptions, which constitute landmarks in the development of new...

Volcanology education is important for the development of geoscientists and scientifically literate citizens. We surveyed 55 volcanology instructors to determine their learning teaching practices, perceptions academic development, educational support needs. Instructors reported using a wide range practices tools, but lectures, field experiences, maps, rock samples, literature, inherited materia...

Ischia shows intriguing and complex geology, which has been deeply investigated. In this paper, a reappraisal of the Quaternary geologic evolution based on literature data is advised, concentrating volcanology island, field geochemistry, due to happening active fumarolic systems island marine geology geophysics, are intensively studied in frame CARG Project. The studies have incorporated with g...
