In this paper we describe the experiences and results gained in the use of tiltmeters at Mt. Etna during the last twenty years. The tilt data represent a fundamental contribution to understanding of volcanic phenomena. Moreover, the tilt played an important role in analytic modelling, of the sources linked to the most important recent lateral eruptions.

The Morphotectonic map of Mt. Etna
Italian Journal of Geosciences, 2010The Morphotectonic Map of Mt. Etna (see attached table) is based on detailed field survey of morphologic and structural features outcropping on the volcanic edifice, supported by detailed analysis of orthophotos, stereo-pair photographs and satellite images.

Groundwater radon measurements in the Mt. Etna area
Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2003Radon levels were measured in 119 groundwater samples collected throughout the active volcanic area of Mt. Etna by means of a portable Lucas-type scintillation chamber. The measured activity values range from 1.8 to 52.7 Bq l(-1). About 40% of the samples exceed the maximum contaminant level of 11 Bq l(-1) proposed by the USEPA in 1991.

Intermittent behaviour of volcanic tremor at Mt. Etna
pure and applied geophysics, 1996Harmonic tremor is widely studied and modelled in a very narrow frequency band (1–5 Hz) which represents the eigenfrequencies of a resonator assumed as the source of the phenomenon. Minimal effort was dedicated towards understanding its behaviour in larger temporal scales.

The control of lava flows at Mt. Etna
2004Because of intense urbanization, many of the historic lava flows of Mt. Etna, fed by flank eruptions, have caused significant damage to cities, villages and lifelines. The fear of legal consequences for centuries has prevented any intervention on lava flows to reduce damage until 1983, when a lava flow was dangerously approaching a village and ...

Sulfur emissions from Mt. Etna
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 1982In the course of three measuring trips to the Mt. Etna volcano (Sicily), field measurements and measurements by aircraft were carried out in the plume of the volcano to determine the concentration distributions and emission rates for the sulfur compounds H2S, SO2, and SO42−.

Radioactivity in waters of Mt. Etna (Italy)
Radiation Measurements, 2009Abstract Radioactivity in underground waters from Mt. Etna was investigated on the basis of 13 samples. The samples were collected from springs, wells and galleries around the volcano. Water from nine out of thirteen intakes is used for consumption.

Nanoscale surface modification of Mt. Etna volcanic ashes
Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2016Abstract Ashes emitted during volcanic explosive activity present peculiar surface chemical and mineralogical features related in literature to the interaction in the plume of solid particles with gases and aerosols. The compositional differences of magmas and gases, the magnitude, intensity and duration of the emission and the physical condition ...

Results of the Mt. Etna interferometric E-SAR campaign
IGARSS'97. 1997 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium Proceedings. Remote Sensing - A Scientific Vision for Sustainable Development, 2002The paper is aimed to the presentation of the first interferometric results of the E-SAR system obtained by processing raw data relative to an area of extreme interest from the geologic and volcanic point of view: the Mt. Etna test site. A comparison between the resulting SAR DEM and an existing photogrametric one is also included.

Mt. Etna volcano: A seismological framework
2004Mount Etna is one of the most active and powerful basaltic volcanoes in the world, with an historical record of documented eruptions going back over 2000 years. It is located in eastern Sicily in a complex geodynamic framework, where major regional structural lineaments play a key role in the dynamic processes of the volcano [e.g., Bonaccorso et al ...
