As volcanoes grow, they become ever heavier. Unlike mountains exhumed by erosion of
rocks that generally were lithified at depth, volcanoes typically are built of poorly …

The new geological map of Etna volcano at 1: 50,000 scale represents a significant progress
in the geological studies of this volcano over the last 30 years, coming after Waltershausen's …

The reinterpretation of more than 2500 subsurface data, consisting of geoelectric and
borehole prospecting undertaken at Mount Etna, allows reconstructing the contour map of …

Il Foglio 641 “Augusta” della Carta Geologica d'Italia in scala 1: 50.000 è stato realizzato
nell'ambito del Progetto CARG (Legge 226/99) tramite Convenzione tra APAT (ora …

An updated geological evolution model is presented for the composite basaltic stratovolcano
of Mount Etna. It was developed on the basis of the stratigraphic setting proposed in the new …

The pyroclastic deposits of Etna have been correlated over the whole volcanic edifice for the
first time, allowing the construction of a continuous record of tephra-producing events, which …

New stratigraphic and structural data obtained during recent geological surveys have
allowed us to subdivide the almost continuous evolution of Etnean volcanism into four main …

The deposits of volcanic debris avalanches (VDAs) contain diagnostic features that
distinguish them from those of other landslides. In this chapter, we summarize the …

Subaerial volcaniclastic deposits are produced principally by volcanic debris avalanches,
pyroclastic density currents, lahars, and tephra falls. Those deposits have widely ranging …

Molards have been defined in the past as conical mounds of debris that can form part of a
landslide's deposits. We present the first conclusive evidence that molards in permafrost …
