Plagioclase is the most common phenocryst in all Etnean magmatic suites (~ 50% in
volume), as well as in most lavas erupted worldwide. Its stability field is strongly dependent …

Tracking magma dynamics at active volcanoes by using the compositional and textural
records of minerals is becoming an important aspect of modern volcanology to solve key …

The survey and structural analysis of surface coseismic ruptures are essential tools for
characterizing seismogenic structures. In this work, a procedure to survey coseismic …

Coupled textural and in situ geochemical studies of clinopyroxene (cpx) phenocrysts, from
both historical and recent eruptions of Mt. Etna volcano, provide a means to investigate the …

A detailed reconstruction of magma movements within the plumbing system of Mt. Etna
volcano has been made by reviewing the eruptions occurring during the October 2002 …

Eruption onset, style and duration are governed, in part, by the movement and interaction of
distinct magma bodies at depth. High-resolution investigation of erupted products can …

Abstract At the Mount Etna volcano (Italy) the massive release of magmatic gasses
(especially H 2 O, CO 2 and SO 2) during explosive eruptions and through the persistent gas …

Abstract Mt. Etna, in Sicily (Italy), produces effusive and explosive eruptions from summit
craters and flanks. Petrology of erupted products has proved fundamental to explore the …

Offshore data in the western Ionian Sea indicate that the NW–SE-trending dextral shear
zone of the Alfeo-Etna Fault System turns to the N–S direction near the Ionian coastline …

Abstract The activity of Mt. Etna volcano from January 2011 to April 2012 was characterized
by 24 paroxysmal, short-duration (from a few to several hours) eruptions at the New South …
