Open AccessGeneration of deposit-derived pyroclastic density currents by repeated crater rim failures at Stromboli Volcano (Italy)
The gravitational instability of hot material deposited during eruptive activity can lead to the formation of glowing avalanches, commonly known as deposit-derived pyroclastic density currents (PDCs). These cu...

Open AccessSeismic and thermal precursors of crater collapses and overflows at Stromboli volcano
Lava overflows are highly hazardous phenomena that can occur at Stromboli. They can destabilize the crater area and the “Sciara del Fuoco” unstable slope, formed by several sector collapses, which can generate...

Open AccessCrater-rim collapse at Stromboli volcano: understanding the mechanisms leading from the failure of hot rocks to the development of glowing avalanches
The failures of volcanic crater-rims frequently lead to the development of avalanches of glowing rocks, a hybrid phenomenon between rock avalanches and pyroclastic density currents, reaching considerable dista...

Dealing with Mass Flow-Induced Tsunamis at Stromboli Volcano: Monitoring Strategies Through Multi-Platform Remote Sensing
Volcano landslides or explosions-induced mass flows constitute an important trigger of tsunamis. Even if landslide-induced tsunamis can produce more local impacts comparable earthquake-induced tsunamis, large ...
