Description
Summary:Newly acquired high-resolution, low-altitude aeromagnetic data over Vulcano Island and Southwestern Lipari in
 the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea resolve the major volcanic features in the area associated with the past and present
 activity. The magnetic character changes in amplitude and frequency from south-east to north-west. The Primordial
 Vulcano, the Lentia Complex, the Piano Caldera units, the Fossa Caldera deposits, and the currently active
 La Fossa cone and Vulcanello represent the main volcanic phases on Vulcano Island. They show a distinct
 magnetic anomaly pattern, whereas prior to this survey, no magnetic signatures of these features were found.
