Marina Bisson, together with other co-authors (INGV and otherwise), recently completed an interesting analysis which had the Stromboli volcano as its object. This volcano is known to produce persistent explosive activity from various vents located near the summit. During these explosions, the volcano projects a large quantity of lithic material (rocks) and/or shreds of molten lava. When these ejected materials exceed the size of a clementine, they are called “volcanic bombs”. The explosive activity of the volcano has a variable intensity over time, and during periods of greater energy release, large areas of the island of Stromboli can be affected by the fallout of these bombs, which in some cases reach a diameter of one meter. Obviously, it is very interesting to know which areas of the island are most exposed to this phenomenon, and this is precisely the main topic of this work conducted within the UNO Project by Marina and their co-authors (for further information, here is the link to the bibliography page).
