Journal of Geophysical Research, 2007 The Island of Pantelleria, located between the coasts of Sicily (Italy) and Tunisia, is deforming due to volcanic and tectonic activity. Here we use electro-optical distance meter, leveling, GPS, and differential interferometry synthetic aperture radar ...

Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 2006 The island of Pantelleria is an active volcano located in the Sicily Channel (Southern Italy), in the middle of a continental rift system. Since the 1980s the island was periodically surveyed by using geodetic techniques (EDM, levelling, GPS and high ...

Bulletin Volcanologique, 1970
The central part of the Island of Pantelleria is occupied by a caldera depression of ellipsoidal form, the major diameter of which is about 7 kilometers. The collapse causing the caldera to form seems to have taken place after a complex eruption which led to the extrusion of a great endogenous dome, the formation of which was followed by a localized ...

Formation of the Green Tuff, Pantelleria
Bulletin Volcanologique, 1981The strongly peralkaline Green Tuff, Pantelleria, is an example of a thin, densely welded air-fall tuff which mantles an area of at least 85 km2. Offshore the tuff is correlated with the Y-6 ash layer in the central Mediterranean Sea, and the total volume of the eruption is estimated at 7 km3 D.R.E.

Geology, geochronology and chemical evolution of the island of Pantelleria
Geological Magazine, 1984AbstractPotassium–argon dating, field relations, geochemical and strontium-isotope compositions are reported for the island of Pantelleria (Strait of Sicily, Italy). These data support the following model for the genesis and evolution through time of the volcanic system: the peralkaline rocks originated from mantle-derived parental magmas; the ...

Antiquity, 1963
Pantelleria is a small island, 34 square miles or so, lying south of the western end of Sicily and within sight of Cape Bon, the projecting tip of the African coast (FIG. I). Though every ship through the Sicilian straits passes close by, it can be extraordinarily isolated, as we found to our cost on a visit in November, 1962.

The recent explosive volcanism at Pantelleria
Geologische Rundschau, 1991Many of the least eighty eruptions of the six silicic eruptive cycles in the last 50 ka at Pantelleria started out with explosive phases and ended with lava effusion. The pyroclastic rocks are rhyolitic in composition while the later-erupted lavas are less evolved up to trachyte probably due to the presence of a shallow and compositionally zoned magma ...

Environmental Gamma Radiation Measurements on the Island of Pantelleria
Health Physics, 1992The population exposure to those living on the island of Pantelleria, Italy, was estimated by measuring the natural gamma background. Gamma spectra of natural rocks and measurements of absorbed dose in air were taken. A correlation was found between the mean gamma exposure rate and the mean values of natural radionuclide concentrations in the ...

Social Stratification on Pantelleria, Italy
Ethnology, 1980In this article I attempt tO account for patterns of social stratification on Pantelleria, an Italian island located between Sicily and the coast of Tunisia. I make the case that at mid-twentieth century social stratification on the island is best described using idioms of honor and bureaucracy rather than class, and that this is due to historical ...

Mursia (Pantelleria, Prov. di Trapani)
2014Il progetto di ricerca nell'abitato di Mursia, diretto da Sebastiano Tusa, è continuato nelle campagne 2012 e 2013 con le attività di scavo stratigrafico nel settore a monte della strada perimetrale affidato alla sezione di Archeologia del Dipartimento di Storia Culture Civiltà dell'Università di Bologna. In particolare le indagini hanno riguardato
