ASSOCIAZIONE ITALIANA DI VULCANOLOGIA

Associazione istituita nel Gennaio 2006 che ha come obiettivo l'esclusivo perseguimento di finalità di utilità sociale mediante lo svolgimento di attività volte alla tutela e alla valorizzazione del territorio nonché alla promozione e alla divulgazione della cultura vulcanologica.

Approfondimento delle conoscenze vulcanologiche

Affiancare l’azione di altre Istituzioni nazionali e internazionali che svolgono attività di diffusione della cultura geologica di base e dei suoi aspetti applicativi.

Tutela del patrimonio naturale

Collaborare con Organizzazioni nazionali ed internazionali interessate alla diffusione della cultura vulcanologica.

Linking crystal chemistry and monitoring signals to track the contrasting magma dynamics at Mt. Etna during the period 2022–23

Miggiano A., Giuffrida M., Cannata A., Di Grazia G., Salerno G. G., Viccaro M.

Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 479, 108709

Petrological, geochemical and geophysical data have been integrated to characterize the magmatic processes driving the volcanic activity at the South East Crater of Mt. Etna between 2022 and 2023. The studied period includes two phases of dominant effusive...

Paroxysmal eruptions at basaltic volcanoes: A numerical investigation of the 2020–2022 paroxysmal sequence at Mt. Etna

La Spina G., Corsaro R.A., Miraglia L.

Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 478, 108705

Between December 2020 and February 2022 a series of more than 60 paroxysmal events occurred on Etna. For this eruptive sequence, previous studies demonstrated that the evolution of magma composition was mostly driven by the mixing of a basaltic and trachybasaltic...

Reappraisal of Holocene Caldera Resurgence at Campi Flegrei (Southern Italy): A Long-Lived Magma-Driven Resurgent Dome System

Natale J., Vitale S.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 131, e2025JB033576

Caldera systems commonly experience inner resurgence, which shapes patterns of volcanic activity. However, incomplete reconstructions of past ground deformation can lead to incorrect recognition of precursory signals. The Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy)...

Unravelling the gap between the probabilistic volcanic hazard and risk perception: A comparative study of tephra fallout at Etna and Vesuvius volcanoes

Mele D., Lanciano T., Caporale D., Bellucci Sessa E., Massaro S., Nave R., Patimo R., Piazza R., Puglisi G., Rainò S., Rinaldi A., Scollo S., Sulpizio R.

International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction 143 (2026) 106325

Volcanic risk management frequently encounters a significant gap between Probabilistic Volcanic Hazard Assessment and subjective risk perception. This study addresses this issue by comparing communities exposed to tephra fallout from two contrasting volcanoes...

Mafic-ultramafic igneous rocks as a source of reactive phosphorus for the origin of life

Baidya A.S., Walton C.R., Kalita J., Szilas K., Viccaro M., Savage P.S., Allison S., Nisbet E.G., Schönbächler M., Mikhail S., Stüeken E.E.

Nature Communications, 17, 8994.

Phosphite and pyrophosphate - reduced and polymerized forms of phosphorus - may have played a central role in prebiotic chemistry owing to their higher reactivity and solubility, yet their geological sources remain uncertain. Here we show that mafic–ultramafic...
