A year of lava fountaining at Etna: Volumes from SEVIRI [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2012 We present a new method that uses cooling curves, apparent in high temporal resolution thermal data acquired by geostationary sensors, to estimate erupted volumes and mean output rates during short lava fountaining events. The 15 minute temporal resolution of the data allows phases of waxing and peak activity to be identified during short (150‐to‐810 ...

Remote Sensing, 2022 Between 13 December 2020 and 21 February 2022, Etna volcano produced a sequence of 66 paroxysmal explosive eruptions, with Strombolian activity at the summit craters climaxing in lava fountains and eruption columns extending several kilometers above the ...

Ground tilt changes associated to lava fountains at Mt. Etna
, 2023 The ground deformation monitoring on volcanic areas makes use of tilt networks that continuously measure the local surface inclination by using tiltmeters.On Mt. Etna, the INGV-OE manages a permanent tilt network, first installed in the 1990s and then gradually improved, which actually includes 17 bore-hole sensors and one long-base instrument located ...

A New Radar‐Based Statistical Model to Quantify Mass Eruption Rate of Volcanic Plumes
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Accurate forecasting of volcanic particle (tephra) dispersal and fallout requires a reliable estimation of key Eruption Source Parameters (ESPs) such as the Mass Eruption Rate (QM).

Remote Sensing, 2021 Multi-sensor strategies are key to the real-time determination of eruptive source parameters (ESPs) of explosive eruptions necessary to forecast accurately both tephra dispersal and deposition.

A Modified Sandpile Model for Simulating Lava Fountains at Mt Etna
Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and RoboticsThis study aims to achieve two primary objectives. Firstly, it offers empirical evidence on the statistical dis tribution of inter-event times for lava fountains at Mt. Etna between 2011 and 2022, revealing that these times follow a power-law distribution, which supports the hypothesis that volcanic energy release exhibits dynam ics characteristic of ...

Galileo Flyby Discovers Immense Lava Fountain on a Jovian Moon [PDF]
Physics Today, 2000 By an improbable stroke of good fortune, the north-polar region of Io, the innermost of Jupiter's four Galilean moons, was putting on an extraordinary volcanic display just as NASA's Galileo spacecraft flew by to take pictures on Thanksgiving Day last year. Because its proximity to Jupiter and its orbital resonance with two neighboring moons subject it

Remote Sensing, 2021 On 16 February 2021, an eruptive paroxysm took place at Mt. Etna (Sicily, Italy), after continuous Strombolian activity recorded at summit craters, which intensified in December 2020. This was the first of 17 short, but violent, eruptive events occurring

, 2021 <p>Basaltic volcanoes exhibit a wide range of eruptive styles, from relatively gentle effusive eruptions (producing lava flows and lava domes) to highly explosive activity (where pyroclastic materials are ejected from the vent as a jet or plume).
