Volcanic reservoirs are widely distributed in more than 40 basins in 13 countries and have
become an important target for oil and gas exploration. The study of volcanic reservoirs is …

Eruptions are fed by dikes; therefore, better knowledge of dike propagation is necessary to
improve our understanding of how magma is transferred and extruded at volcanoes. This …

Most flank eruptions within a central stratovolcano are triggered by lateral draining of
magma from its central conduit, and only few eruptions appear to be independent of the …

Volcano deformation may occur under different conditions. To understand how a volcano
deforms, as well as relations with magmatic activity, we studied Mt. Etna in detail using …

We present an updated geological evolution of Mount Etna volcano based on new 40 Ar/39
Ar age determinations and stratigraphic data integrating the previous K/Ar ages. Volcanism …

We produce a spatial probability map of vent opening (susceptibility map) at Etna, using a
statistical analysis of structural features of flank eruptions of the last 2 ky. We exploit a …

Volcanic activity focuses along plate boundaries. However, large volcanoes are also found
in intraplate settings. For these volcanoes, geodynamic processes responsible for magma …

The 2002–2003 Mount Etna eruption and the associated deformation provide a unique
possibility to study the relationships between volcanism and volcano instability. The …

The eruptive events of the July–August 2001 and October 2002–January 2003 at Mt. Etna
provide new insights for reconstructing the complex geometry of the feeding system and …

Buoyancy controls the ability of magma to rise, its ascent rate and the style of the eruptions.
Geophysical, geological and petrological data have been integrated to evaluate the …
