Mount Etna and the 1971 eruption - Palaeomagnetism of Mount Etna
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1973Palaeomagnetic work on Etna was begun by the late Professor R. Chevallier (1925). His purpose was to determine the history of the geomagnetic field direction at Etna during the past several centuries, using lavas of known date which had become permanently magnetized at the time of cooling. During the decade 1960 to 1970, Tanguy (Aitken, Fleming, Doell &

Mount Etna dominates the landscape of north east Sicily (south Italy) and is the largest continental volcano in the world: the summit crater reaches the height of about 3300 meters above sea level and its volcanic products cover an area of around 1750 km2.

Geological evolution of Etna volcano
2004New stratigraphic and structural data obtained during recent geological surveys have allowed us to subdivide the almost continuous evolution of Etnean volcanism into four main phases. The oldest phase (Basal Tholeiitic) corresponds to a long period of dispersed fissure-type volcanism with tholeiitic affinity, from about 580 up to 260 ka.

Mount Etna and the 1971 eruption - Structure and evolution of Mount Etna
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1973The present contribution is a short review of the actual state of our knowledge about the largest and most active European volcano. Some schematical figures will illustrate the results of research carried out recently on Mt Etna.

Magnetic stratigraphy procedures at Etna
2004Different procedures in terms of sampling techniques and data analyses for the magnetic stratigraphy studies carried out at Etna over the past twenty three years, are presented and discussed. Mean directions of magnetization of lava flows have been derived from Fisher statistics on the data obtained by three different methods: NRM measurements and ...

Mount Etna and the 1971 eruption - Recent trends in the study of Etna
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1973Etna is the most recent and northernmost part of the volcanic province of SE Sicily. It is located north of a fast subsiding recent depression (Catania Plain) in the axial region of an isostatically rising broad anticline trending E-W. This structure has been cut by a belt of regional faults parallel to the coast between Catania and Messina, with an ...

As a preface of sorts to our later investigation (especially in Chapter 6) of the symbolic properties of Pietro Bembo’s representation of Mount Etna, Chapter 1 explores the rich diversity of Greco-Roman treatments of the volcano from Pindar down to Virgil, Ovid, Seneca, and the so-called Aetna poem (its authorship unknown).

Abstract There is one final aspect of the Empedocles legend which deserves a few words: its location. When touching on the story about his death in Etna, a recent editor of Empedocles brings to a close a list of groundless arguments for denying it any historical value with the statement that finally, because of the geography of Mount ...
