MEDiterranean SUpersite Volcanoes (MED-SUV)
Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2016,
This project will improve the consortium capacity of assessment of volcanic hazards in Supersites of Southern Italy by optimising and integrating existing and new observation/monitoring systems, by a breakthrough in understanding of volcanic processes and by increasing the effectiveness of the coordination between the scientific and end-user communities. More than 3 million of people are exposed t ...

Volcanic unrest in Europe and Latin America: Phenomenology, eruption precursors, hazard forecast, and risk mitigation (VUELCO)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
Our knowledge of the causative links between subsurface processes, resulting unrest signals and imminent eruption is, today, wholly inadequate to deal effectively with crises of volcanic unrest. The VUELCO project consortium has come together for a multi-disciplinary attack on the origin, nature and significance of volcanic unrest from the scientific contributions generated by collaboration of ten ...

Experimental verification of the mechanisms of shock waves acceleration of volcanic particles toward metal targets: a tool to understand shock waves hazard in explosive volcanic eruptions (SPAEx)
Start date: Apr 15, 2009, End date: Apr 14, 2012,
Despite shock waves commonly occur during explosive volcanic eruptions, a number of issues concerning their generation and propagation is still object of debate in the scientific community and the associated hazard is downplayed in the risk assessment of active volcanic areas. Micrometric impact craters produced by volcanic ash particles were found on a steel basketball pole in one of the villages ...

Experimental reconstruction of volcanic explosions: understanding the fragmentation energy balance and seismic signals (VOLCEXPLOSEIS)
Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2011,
"Volcanic explosions can have devastating effects on their surrounding area and communtiies, so it is important to improve our understanding of the controls on how energetic volcanic explosions are and the interpretation of the seismic signals that they generate. Volcanic explosions are driven by ascent and depressurisation of magma, which result in the exsolution of large volumes of gas. If the g ...
