Continuous in-situ measurements of gases (H2, H2S, CH4, N2, O2, He and CO2) at the fumarole “Soffionissimo” (Solfatara volcano, Southern Italy). (2007)

Wiersberg, T.; Istituto Nazionale Di Geofisica E Vulcanologia, Sezione Roma1, Roma, Italia, Somma, R., Rocco, A., De Rosa, M., Zimmer, M., Quattrocchi, F., ...

Temperature measurements and gas extraction were done at the fumarole very close to the “Bocca Grande”. The temperature measurements were performed with a temperature probe (K-type thermocouple),...

Seismicity preceding volcanic eruptions: new experimental insights (2007)

Burlini, L., Vinciguerra, S., Di Toro, G., De Natale, G., Meredith, P.

A variety of seismic signals representing different physical mechanisms precedes volcanic eruptions. The most meaningful signals are high- and low-frequency earthquakes and volcanic tremor that have...

Evidence for fluid migration as the source of deformation at Campi Flegrei (2006)

Battaglia, M., Troise, C., Obrizzo, F., Pingue, F., De Natale, G.

We model the location, geometry and density of the source of the recent geological unrest at Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy) by inverting levelling, trilateration and gravity measurements collected...

The Somma-Vesuvius volcano (Southern Italy): Structure, dynamics and hazard evaluation (2006)

De Natale, G., Troise, C., Pingue, F., Mastrolorenzo, G., Pappalardo, L.

We review the main results, with several new analyses, obtained in recent times about the structure, present dynamics and hazard evaluation at Somma–Vesuvius volcanic complex. We present a global...

The Campi Flegrei caldera: unrest mechanisms and hazards (2006)

De Natale, G., Troise, C., Pingue, F., Mastrolorenzo, G., Pappalardo, L., Battaglia, M., ...

In the last four decades, Campi Flegrei caldera has been the world’s most active caldera characterized by intense unrest episodes involving huge ground deformation and seismicity, but, at the time...

Volcanic hazard assessment at the Campi Flegrei caldera (2006)

Mastrolorenzo, G., Pappalardo, L., Troise, C., Rossano, S., Panizza, A., De Natale, G.

Previous and new results from probabilistic approaches based on available volcanological data from real eruptions of Campi Flegrei, are assembled in a comprehensive assessment of volcanic hazards at...

Lithospheric rheology in southern Italy inferred from postseismic viscoelastic relaxation following the 1980 Irpinia earthquake (2005)

Dalla Via, G., Sabadini, R., De Natale, G., Pingue, F.

Postseismic relaxation is modeled for the Irpinia earthquake, which struck southern Italy in 1980. Our goal is to understand the mechanism of surface deformation due to stress relaxation in the deep...

Novel laser-based techniques for monitoring of volcanoes (2005)

De Natale, G., De Natale, P., Gagliardi, G., Gianfrani, L., Rocco, A. S. D.

An overview of novel laser techniques suitable for volcanic monitoring, based on different kinds of infrared laser sources, is presented. Their main advantages and drawbacks are discussed focusing on...

Non-linear effects in ground deformation at calderas due to the presence of structural discontinuities (2004)

Troise, C., De Natale, G., Pingue, F.

The peculiar behaviour of ground deformations at calderas induced by collapse discontinuities is analysed in this paper.

Seismicity and 3-D substructure at Somma^Vesuvius volcano:evidence for magma quenching (2004)

De Natale, G., Troise, C., Trigila, R., Dolfi, D., Chiarabba, C.

Abstract We present new results on the velocity structure of the Somma^Vesuvius volcano,obtained by joint inversion of Pand S-wave arrival times from both local earthquakes and shot data collected...

Three Decades of Seismic Activity at Mt. Vesuvius: 1972–2000 (2004)

De Natale, G., Kuznetzov, I., Kronrod, T., Peresan, A., Saraò, A., Troise, C., ...

We analyse the seismic catalogue of the local earthquakes which occurred at Somma-Vesuvius volcano in the past three decades (1972–2000). The seismicity in this period can be described ascomposed...

A diode-laser-based spectrometer for in-situ measurements of volcanic gases (2004)

Rocco, A., De Natale, G., De Natale, P., Gagliardi, G., Gianfrani, L.

We report the first results of the field operation of a novel, portable diode-laser spectrometer for gasconcentration measurements in volcanic areas. Remote detection of direct absorption line shapes...

3-D Modelling of Campi Flegrei Ground Deformations: Role of Caldera Boundary Discontinuities (2004)

Beauducel, F., De Natale, G., Obrizzo, F., Pingue, F.

Campi Flegrei is a caldera complex located west of Naples, Italy. The last eruption occurred in 1538, although the volcano has produced unrest episodes since then, involving rapid and large ground...

Numerical simulation of pyroclastic density currents on Campi Flegrei topography: a tool for statistical hazard estimation. (2004)

Rossano, S., Mastrolorenzo, G., De Natale, G.

We describe a numerical simulation of both concentrated and dilute gravity-driven pyroclastic flows on a digital topographic model of the Campi Flegrei volcanic field. Families of numerical flows are...
