Stromboli volcano is the easternmost island of the Aeolian Archipelago in Southern Italy. It is globally known for its persistent, open-vent volcanic activity, involving continuous degassing and “ordinary” explosive activity that consists in periodic (10-15/hr) low-intensity explosions impacting mostly the crater terrace. Occasionally, more violent explosions occur, posing a significant threat...

16. The 15 ka BP tephra record of the NDT09 core in the Marsili basin: unraveling the style, timing and frequency of eruptions of the peri-Tyrrhenian volcanoes

Talk

Tephrochronology is widely used for dating, synchronising, and correlating geological records, providing crucial insights into past volcanism and magmatic evolution. With higher-resolution analyses of geological records, researchers can obtain greater detail about recorded events. Despite extensive prior research, tephrochronological studies in the Tyrrhenian area continue to yield new...

19. Tsunamigenic landslides at Stromboli volcano: evidence from marine sediment records

Talk

Volcanic islands are highly dynamic and vulnerable environments, where landslides triggered by eruptive activity represent a serious hazard to coastal communities. Stromboli (southern Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy), is known for its predominantly mild, intermittent and explosive Strombolian activity, punctuated by rare lava emissions and more violent explosions. This activity is associated with minor...
