The Aeolian Islands are a Quaternary active volcanic structure in Southern Italy. These volcanic islands are characterized by an outstanding display of volcanic landforms (stratocones, lava flows, domes, fissures, dykes, calderas, lateral collapses) derived from repeated episodes of volcanic activity and volcano-tectonic collapse under the control of regional tectonic trends. Stromboli and Vulcano are particularly characterized by ongoing eruptive and gravity-driven instability processes. Geomorphic evolution there plays a fundamental role on the localization of eruptive vents and conduits and the distribution of volcanogenic flows, with important insights on volcanic hazard and risk assessment.

Abstract
The Aeolian Islands are a Quaternary active volcanic structure in Southern Italy. These volcanic islands are characterized by an outstanding display of volcanic landforms (stratocones, lava flows, domes, fissures, dykes, calderas, lateral collapses) derived from repeated episodes of volcanic activity and volcano-tectonic collapse under the control of regional tectonic trends. Stromboli and Vulcano are particularly characterized by ongoing eruptive and gravity-driven instability processes. Geomorphic evolution there plays a fundamental role on the localization of eruptive vents and conduits and the distribution of volcanogenic flows, with important insights on volcanic hazard and risk assessment.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
