    Radon in outdoor air in the Mt. Etna area, Italy (2013)
    Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology, Poland
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Radon (222Rn) activity concentration in outdoor air was measured, using AlphaGuard radon monitors, at 25 points in the Mt. Etna area, at different distances and in different directions from the summit. Values of up to 93 Bq·m–3 were found at three points close to the summit, at altitudes of about 3000 m above the sea level, and in the range of 3.0–19.6 Bq·m–3 elsewhere. An average radon concentration of 7.9 Bq·m–3 was obtained in the northern region, 4.8 Bq·m–3 in the eastern (oriented towards the sea), 9.6 Bq·m–3 in the western (the furthest inland), and 6.5 Bq·m–3 in the southern.

    Environmental impact of Mt. Etna’s degassing: volcanogenic trace elements bioaccumulation in two endemic plant species (Senecio aethnensis and Rumex aethnensis) (2010)
    Copernicus
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: A biomonitoring survey, above tree line level, using two endemic species (Senecio aethnensis and Rumex aethnensis) was performed on Mt. Etna, in order to evaluate the dispersion and the impact of volcanic atmospheric emissions. Samples of leaves were collected in summer 2008 from 30 sites in the upper part of the volcano (1500- 3000 m a.s.l). Acid digestion of samples was carried out with a microwave oven, and 44 elements were analyzed by using plasma spectrometry (ICP-MS and ICP-OES). The highest concentrations of all investigated elements were found in the samples collected closest to the degassing craters, and in the downwind sector, confirming that the eastern flank of Mt. Etna is the most impacted by volcanic emissions. Leaves collected along two radial transects from the active vents on the eastern flank, highlight that the levels of metals decrease one or two orders of magnitude with increasing distance from the source. This variability is higher for volatile elements (As, Bi, Cd, Cs, Pb, Sb, Tl) than for more refractory elements (Al, Ba, Sc, Si, Sr, Th, U). The two different species of plants do not show significant differences in the bioaccumulation of most of the analyzed elements, except for lanthanides, which are systematically enriched in Rumex leaves. The high concentrations of many toxic elements in the leaves allow us to consider these plants as highly tolerant species to the volcanic emissions, and suitable for biomonitoring researches in the Mt. Etna area.

    Statistical analysis reveals spatial and temporal anomalies of soil CO2 efflux on Mount (2010)
    Elsevier, Amsterdam
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Extensive geochemical surveys were carried out on the Western flank of Mt. Etna volcano for the determination of soil CO2 effluxes, in order to study the relationship between soil gas anomalies, faults and volcanic activity. The areas of Santa Maria di Licodia (SML) and W-Rift (WR) were selected, because of their importance within the volcano-tectonic framework of Etna. Two gas surveys were performed in each area in different periods (November 2005 and May 2006 in SML, September 2007 and June 2008 in WR), with 2140 measurements in total. In each survey, data were log-normally distributed and were statistically different from the other surveys, therefore their standard normal form was used to compare them. Log probability plots revealed five populations of data in each survey, due to varying degrees of mixing between biogenic and magmatic CO2, and indicated anomalous CO2 effluxes for values N36 g m−2 d−1. Magmatic output was 39.2 t d−1 in November 2005, 15.8 t d−1 in May 2006, 98.4 t d−1 in September 2007 and 234.1t d−1 in June 2008. Natural Neighbor interpolation of standardized data produced distribution maps that showed some clustering of anomalous values along directions possibly related to hidden faults compatible with volcanic or regional structural trends. Analysis of magmatic CO2 emissions in time suggested a possible influence from seasonal variations, but comparison with volcanic activity of Etna also indicated a volcanic influence accompanying the 2008–2009 flank eruption.

    Activity Regimes on Mt Etna inferred from Automatic Unsupervised (2010)
    EGU, Geophysical Research Abstracts
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Mt Etna is among the best monitored basaltic volcano worldwide. High-quality, multidisciplinary data set are continuously available for around-the-clock surveillance. Seismic data sets cover decades long local recordings, obtained during different regimes of eruptive activity, from Strombolian eruptions to lava fountains and lava flows. Earthquakes swarms have often heralded effusive activity. However, volcanic tremor – the persistently radiated signal by the volcano - has proved to be a key indicator of impending eruptive activity. Changes in the volcano feeder show up in the signature of tremor, its spectral characteristics and source location. We apply a recently developed software for the analysis of volcanic tremor, combining Kohonen Maps along with Cluster and Fuzzy Analysis, in order to identify transitions from pre-eruptive to eruptive activity. Throughout the analysis of the data flow, the software provides an unsupervised classification of the spectral characteristics (i.e., amplitude and frequency content) of the signal, which is interpreted in the context of a specific state of the volcano. We present an application on the eruptive events occurred during the 2007-2009 time period, encompassing 7 episodes of lava fountaining, periodic Strombolian activity at the summit craters, and a lava emission on the upper east flank of the volcano, which started on 13 May 2008 and ended on 6 July 2009. In this time span the source of volcanic tremor was always shallow (less than 3 km), i. e., within the volcano edifice. From the analysis we conclude that the upraise of magma to the surface was fast, taking several hours to a few minutes. We discuss the possible reasons of such variability in the light of the characteristics of the overall seismicity preceding the eruptions in the study period, taking into account field observations and rheology of the ascending magma as well.
