Abstract: Abstract A ~ 5 m thick pyroclastic and volcaniclastic sequence, never reported before, comprising a pumice fall deposit has been recognized in a disused quarry near Pollena Trocchia, on the NW slope of Somma-Vesuvius. It is composed… read more here.

New insights on lithofacies architecture, sedimentological characteristics and volcanological evolution of pre-caldera (> 22 ka), multi-phase, scoria- and spatter-cones at Somma-Vesuvius

DOI: 10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2017.09.010
Abstract: Abstract Pre-caldera (> 22 ka) lateral activity at Somma-Vesuvius is related to scoria- and spatter-cone forming events of monogenetic or polygenetic nature. A new stratigraphic, sedimentological, textural and lithofacies investigation was performed on five parasitic cones (Pollena… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract The study of medium-large magnitude and intermediate-high intensity eruptions (VEI = 4/5; Column Height 15–20 km) fed by poorly evolved magmas is one of the main topics in volcanology. In this framework, the 472 AD (Pollena) eruption from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-07496-y
Abstract: Existing 3-D density models of the Somma-Vesuvius volcanic complex (SVVC), Italy, largely disagree. Despite the scientific and socioeconomic importance of Vesuvius, there is no reliable 3-D density model of the SVVC. A considerable uncertainty prevails… read more here.
