During the Cenozoic widespread anorogenic magmatism, unrelated to recent supra-
subduction zone modification of its mantle source, developed within the Mediterranean and …

Volcanism at Mount Etna (Italy) has been observed for millennia and inspired ancient
mythologies as well as scientific thought through countless generations. Yet much of our …

Italian Plio-Quaternary magmatism exhibits a very wide petrological, geochemical and
radiogenic-isotope variability, which makes magma genesis and geodynamic significance …

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 …

Two unusual, highly explosive flank eruptions succeeded on Mount Etna in July August
2001 and in October 2002 to January 2003, raising the possibility of changing magmatic …

We report on a high-resolution Vp, Vp/Vs and Qp model of the southern Tyrrhenian
subduction zone, obtained by the inversion of P-and S-wave arrival times and t∗ values from …

Volcanoes can erupt explosively, generating high columns of ash and occasional pyroclastic
flows, or they can erupt slowly forming lava flows and domes. This variation reflects …

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 Cenozoic geological evolution of the Italian area is characterized by the formation of two
major mountain chains-the Alps to the north and the Apennines throughout the peninsula …
