Three-dimensional magnetotelluric modeling of Vulcano Island (Eolie, Italy) and its implications for understanding recent volcanic unrest by Maria Giulia Di Giuseppe, Roberto Isaia, Antonio Troiano

“…A main N‒S alignment characterizes the island sector, where considerable amounts of deep subsurface fluids accumulate and mix with the ascending magmas related to the most recent volcanic dynamics. The volcanological interpretation of such findings significantly contributes to understanding the geophysical and geochemical anomalies detected in the last year, which involved the Vulcano shallow hydrothermal system, highlighting the potential for possible hydrothermal/phreatic eruptive events.…”

Modeling glacier inherited on active volcanic areas. The case of the volcanic complex Cumbal by Angela Portilla Erazo, Fernando Pizarro Jurado

“…This article shows the results of a geomorphological study made of the Cumbal Volcano (located in Nariño, Colombia) in which two volcanic structures were identified (one active and one in state of caldera), the geomorphological effect produced by glacier abrasion and its interaction with some volcanological phenomena. In order to identify the landforms from glaciers and volcanic processes, photo-interpretation on aerial photographs of the IGAC was accompanied by rising and field verification and geological information, soil type and land cover, which are variables that condition morphodynamics in the area, to finally get geomorphological mapping at a scale of 1: 25000. …”

A re-assessment of historical records pertaining to the activity of Mt. Baekdu (Paektu, Tianchi) volcano by Sung-Hyo Yun, Jeonghyun Lee, Cheolwoo Chang, Clive Oppenheimer

“…We categorized volcanic phenomena into five categories: rumbling, atmospheric abnormality, ash rain, ash cloud and phenomenon sightings, and investigated historical records (in Chinese) for each phenomenon and identified their volcanological implications. Among the volcanic phenomena, ash rain had the most abundant records, and in particular, Goryeosa recorded the ash rain phenomenon 56 times. …”

Excess explosivity driven by melt inclusions during the 946 CE Plinian eruption of Baekdusan by Gi Bom Kim, Shane J. Cronin, Jong Ok Jeong, Sun Young Go, Youn Soo Lee, Jiaqi Liu, Young Kwan Sohn

“…The excess explosivity induced by the bursting melt inclusions should be considered when modeling eruption dynamics and assessing volcanic hazards, therefore having broad volcanological implications.…”

Volcanic stratigraphy archiving in Patagonia as a tool for conservation, outreach, and risk awareness by Julie Morin, Constanza Perales, Laura Bono, Leonardo Zúñiga, Karen Holmberg, Constanza Gómez, Amy Donovan, Álvaro Amigo, Diego Castillo

“…This is important because the local community tends to consider the 2008 eruption as a unique and exceptional event, which inherently biases their risk awareness, as volcanological studies report various eruptions of Chaitén. …”

Socio-ecological impact of monogenetic volcanism in the La Garrotxa Volcanic Field (NE Iberia) by Jordi Revelles, Joan Martí Molist, Francesc Burjachs, Walter Finsinger, Eneko Iriarte, Francesc Mesquita-Joanes, Sergi Pla-Rabés, Llorenç Planagumà, Maria A. Rodrigo, Gabriel Alcalde, Maria Saña

“…However, the impact of monogenetic volcanism is often considered as limited in volcanological research. This work provides for the first time an interdisciplinary approach to the socio-ecological impact of monogenetic volcanism in a key region, the La Garrotxa Volcanic Field (GVF, Girona, NE Iberia), where intense monogenetic volcanic activity occurred in the past. …”

Hydrothermal signature on episodic deflation/inflation ground tilt at Aso Volcano by Simona Petrosino, Mariarosaria Falanga, Teh-Ru Alex Song

“…The obtained results have been interpreted in light of the available geophysical, geochemical and volcanological information. In this framework, the Very-Long-period Tilt Pulses may be ascribed to the depressurization/pressurization of the shallow hydrothermal system according to a fault-valve mechanism, which was active with different efficiency throughout eruptive and inter-eruptive phases. …”

New insights into geological setting of the summit area of mount Etna volcano (Italy) inferred from 2D gravity data modelling by Jaroslava Pánisová, Filippo Greco, Daniele Carbone, Stefano Felice Branca, Peter Vajda

“…This model was constrained using to-date knowledge of the structural setting of the area and the available volcanological data. We highlighted the presence of low-density material below the summit craters, down to the depth of about 2.1 km, interpreted as highly altered, fumarolized and structurally weakened material. …”
