    The borehole dilatometers network of Mt. Etna : a powerful tool to detect and infer volcano dynamics (2017)
    American Geophysical Union
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-02-10
    Description: A network of four borehole dilatometers has been installed on Etna in two successive phases (2010–2011 and 2014). The borehole dilatometers are installed in holes drilled at depths usually greater than 100 m, and they measure the volumetric strain of the surrounding rock with a nominal precision up to 10^-11 in a wide frequency range (10^-7–25 Hz). Here we describe the characteristics of the network and the results of the in situ calibrations obtained after the installations by different methods. We illustrate short-term strain changes recorded during several lava fountains erupted by Etna during 2011–2013, and we also show signal changes recorded at all four stations during the lava fountain on 28 December 2014. Analytical and numerical computations constrained the eruptions source depth and also its volume change that is related to the magma volume emitted. Finally, we show the potential of the signal in the medium term to reveal strain changes related to different phases of the volcanic activity.

    High-precision gravity measurements using absolute and relative (2012)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Accurate detection of time gravity changes attributable to the dynamics of volcanoes requires high-precision gravity measurements. With the aim of improving the quality of data from the Mount Etna gravity network, we used both absolute and relative gravimeters in a hybrid method. In this report, some of the techniques for gravity surveys are reviewed, and the results related to each method are compared. We show how the total uncertainty estimated for the gravity measurements performed with this combined use of absolute and relative gravimeters is roughly comparable to that calculated when the measurements are acquired using only relative gravimeters (the traditional method). However, the data highlight how the hybrid approach improves the measurement capabilities for surveying the Mount Etna volcanic area. This approach enhances the accuracy of the data, and then of the four-dimensional surveying, which minimizes ambiguities inherent in the gravity measurements. As a case study, we refer to two gravity datasets acquired in 2005 and 2010 from the western part of the Etna volcano, which included five absolute and 13 relative stations of the Etna gravity network.

    From source to surface: dynamics of Etna’s lava fountains investigated by continuous strain, magnetic, ground and satellite thermal data (2013)
    Springer Berlin Heidelberg
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-02-24
    Description: We investigated the eruptive episodes that occurred at Etna volcano on 15 November 2011 and 18 March 2012 using different types of data. We present novel data from two recently installed strainmeters that recorded unique signals during the lava fountain phases of these events. The strainmeter data, integrated with those recorded by the magnetic network, and with satellite and ground thermal data, allowed us to follow the path of a gas-rich magma batch from the source inside the volcano to the surface and atmosphere. The amplitude ratio of the volumetric strain changes constrained the storage depth of the magma feeding the lava fountains above 1.5 km below sea level. Magnetic data revealed an attempted shallow lateral intrusion, whereas ground and satellite thermal data furnished a quantification of the total erupted volumes of ∼2.2×106m3 for the 15 November event and ∼3.0×106m3 for the 18 March event. Despite different durations of the explosive and effusive phases of the two lava fountain events, the total erupted volume was quite similar, suggesting the emptying of a shallow storage system displaying a steady behaviour.

    La rete dei dilatometri in pozzi profondi dell’Etna. (2016)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Dopo una lunga fase preparatoria sull’Etna è stata installata una rete composta da 4 dilatometri installati in pozzi profondi. Questa attività è avvenuta in due fasi successive (2010-2011 e 2013) supportate da altrettanti progetti di ricerca. I dilatometri da pozzo sono installati in fori trivellati a profondità solitamente maggiori di 100 m, e misurano lo strain volumetrico a cui è sottoposta la roccia circostante potenzialmente con precisioni nominali fino a 10-12 in un ampio intervallo di frequenze (10-7 – 102 Hz). In questo lavoro sono illustrate le caratteristiche degli apparati utilizzati, le metodologie di installazione in pozzo, e le problematiche della gestione strumentale. Vengono poi descritti i risultati delle calibrazioni strumentali ottenute dopo l’installazione tramite le differenti metodologie. Sono inoltre illustrati i risultati ottenuti dalle variazioni di strain registrate nel breve termine durante le numerose fontane di lava emesse dall’Etna nel periodo2011-2013, e sono anche presentate le variazioni di segnale registrare a tutte le stazioni durante l’ultima fontana di lava del 28 Dicembre 2014. Infine sono anche mostrate le potenzialità del segnale a rilevare nel medio-lungo termine variazioni significative connesse a differenti fasi dell’attività vulcanica. After a long preparatory phase on Etna a network of 4 borehole dilatometers has been installed. This activity took place in two successive phases (2010-2011 and 2013) supported by two research projects. The borehole dilatometers are installed in holes drilled at depths usually greater than 100 m, and they measure the volumetric strain of the surrounding rock potentially with nominal precision up to 10-12 in a wide frequency range (10-7 – 102 Hz). In this paper we describe the characteristics of the equipment used, the methods for the borehole installations, and the problematic related to the instrumental working. We describe the results of the instrumental calibrations obtained by different methods after the installations. We illustrate the results obtained by the changes of strain recorded in the short-term during the several lava fountains emitted from Etna during 2011-2013, and we also show signal changes recorded at all four stations during the last lava fountain of 28 December 2014. Finally, we show the potential of the signal in the medium-term to detected significant changes related to different stages of volcanic activity.

    TOMO-ETNA experiment at Etna volcano: Activities on land (2017)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-04-29
    Description: In the present paper we describe the on-land field operations integrated in the TOMO-ETNA experiment carried out in June-November 2014 at Mt. Etna volcano and surrounding areas. This terrestrial campaign consists in the deployment of 90 short-period portable three-component seismic stations, 17 broadband seismometers and the coordination with 133 permanent seismic station belonging to Italy’s Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV). This temporary seismic network recorded active and passive seismic sources. Active seismic sources were generated by an array of air-guns mounted in the Spanish oceanographic vessel “Sarmiento de Gamboa” with a power capacity of up to 5200 cubic inches. In total more than 26,000 shots were fired and more than 450 local and regional earthquakes were recorded. We describe the whole technical procedure followed to guarantee the success of this complex seismic experiment. We started with the description of the location of the potential safety places to deploy the portable network and the products derived from this search (a large document including full characterization of the sites, owners and indication of how to arrive to them). A full technical description of the seismometers and seismic sources is presented. We show how the portable seismic network was deployed, maintained and recovered in different stages. The large international collaboration of this experiment is reflected in the participation of more than 75 researchers, technicians and students from different institutions and countries in the on-land activities. The main objectives of the experiment were achieved with great success.

    Automated system for magnetic monitoring of active volcanoes (2010)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: In order to provide a basis for short-term decision- making in the forecasting and monitoring of volcanic activity, we developed an entirely automated system of data acquisition and reduction for magnetic data. The system (Mag-Net) is designed to provide monitoring and analysis of magnetic data on Etna volcano at large distances from the central observatory. The Mag-Net system uses data from an array of continuously recording remote stations spread over the volcanic area and linked by mobile phone to the control center at the local observatory. At this location a computer receives the data and performs data sorting and reduction as well as limited evaluation to detect abnormal behavior or breakdown of remote sensors. Communication software, called Mag- Talk, is also designed to provide data to distant users. With a view to using continuous magnetic observations in advanced analysis techniques for volcano monitoring, the Mag-Net system also delivers two graphical user interface based applications to provide an interpretation capability. The former, called MADAP, speeds up all the data reduction processes in order to evaluate the reliability of magnetic signals. The latter, called VMM, is a procedure for modeling magnetic fields associated with tectonic and volcanic activity to facilitate the identification and interpretation of the sources of a wide spectrum of magnetic signals.
