A quantitative study of the mechanisms governing dike propagation, dike arrest and sill formation

F Maccaferri, M Bonafede, E Rivalta - Journal of Volcanology and …, 2011 - Elsevier
Dikes and sills are the moving building blocks of the plumbing system of volcanoes and play

Seismic tomography of magmatic systems

JM Lees - Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 2007 - Elsevier
Seismic inversion for three-dimensional variations of velocity and attenuation are often used
to delineate magma bodies in the crust and upper mantle. Problems related to spatial …

Why Mt Etna?

C Doglioni, F Innocenti, G Mariotti - Terra Nova, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
The Etna volcano is located in an apparently anomalous position on the hinge zone of the
Apennines subduction and its Na‐alkaline geochemistry does not favour a magma source …

Magma ascent and the pressurization of Mount Etna's volcanic system

D Patane, P De Gori, C Chiarabba, A Bonaccorso - Science, 2003 - science.org
After a period of deflation during the 1991–1993 flank eruption, Mount Etna underwent a
rapid inflation. Seismicity and ground deformation show that since 1994, a huge volume of …
