Paroxysmal explosions, lava fountains and ash plumes at Etna Volcano: Eruptive processes and hazard implications
Lava fountains have a major impact on the local population since they cause ash plumes
that spread several kilometers above and hundreds of kilometers away from the crater. Ash …

Impact of SO2 Flux Estimation in the Modeling of the Plume of Mount Etna Christmas 2018 Eruption and Comparison against Multiple Satellite Sensors
In this study, we focus on the eruption of Mount Etna on Christmas 2018, which emitted great
amounts of SO 2 from 24th to 30th December into the free troposphere. Simulations based …
