Nelle giornate del 27 e 28 novembre si è tenuto, a Catania, il Meeting finale del progetto triennale "WUnderVul", (progetti INGV - Pianeta Dinamico), per discutere i risultati ottenuti a conclusione dell'ultimo anno di indagini a VULCANO. #INGV #pianetadinamico #ricercascientifica

Analysis of earthquake patterns at Mount Etna enables earlier volcano eruption forecasts by tracking changes in seismic "b values," offering the potential for months of advance warning. doi.org/g97rrn

Our study on earthquake frequency and magma ascent at Mount Etna just got featured on GeoPop! 🌋 Discover the insights here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Watch how seismometers recorded the passing earthquake waves from the magnitude 8.8 earthquake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula. Each dot in this animation is a seismic station—red 🔴 means the ground moved up, blue 🔵 means it moved down. More ➡️ https://loom.ly/6Eo_fYc

Around 11:30 am local time, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck the offshore Kamchatka region at a depth of about 20 kilometers. The subduction zone quake caused severe shaking on the Kamchatka peninsula and triggered tsunami warnings and advisories around the Pacific. (1/n)

Episode 25 now starring at #Kilauea! 🌋💥

Dopo l'eruzione di ieri #etna, dal Cratere SE, molti si sono chiesti quali le possibili misure di allerta esistenti per questo vulcano. L'eruzione, in effetti, era stata annunciata dal sistema di allerta precoce (early warning) dell’INGV-OE. Scopriamo di che si tratta sul ns. Blog buff.ly/bbQ8kA3

First paroxysmal eruptive episode at #Etna's Southeast Crater since 18 months, on the morning of 2 June 2025. Collapse of the northeast flank of the crater generated a spectacular (but harmless) pyroclastic flow down the upper side of the mountain. (1/2)

On Italy’s Republic Day, Etna isn’t holding back 🌋🇮🇹 Activity started with mild Strombolian explosions that quickly intensified. A small lava flow made its way down the Valle del Bove. A particularly remarkable event just occurred: part of the Southeast Crater collapsed, triggering a PDC

#Etna is speaking loudly today Its activity intensified, producing an impressive plume, accompanied by pyroclastic flows and, later, sustained lava fountains. This episode comes just as two recent scientific studies offer fresh perspectives on Etna’s internal structure and dynamics.

#OtD 9 May 1978 communist anti-Mafia campaigner Giuseppe ‘Peppino' Impastato was murdered during an election campaign. He was beaten and blown up with TNT, but for over 20 years police claimed he was a terrorist who blew himself up htstories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10936/giuseppe-impast...

I often think about how things ended for Mussolini and that brings me a little comfort.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL. #HandsOff

Oooof. A massive earthquake at shallow depth pretty much right beneath Mandalay - Myanmar’s second largest city - that has a population of 1.6 million people. This country has gone through so much terrible upheaval over recent years - today’s earthquake could well be catastrophic

March 27 marks the anniversary of the 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake (M9.2), the most powerful recorded quake in U.S. history. This megathrust event reshaped landscapes, and you can help reshape our understanding by publishing your seismic research in #OpenAccess #CostFree journals

Excited to be a keynote speaker at #BeGEO! I'll discuss how #anisotropy helps reveal subsurface structures and magma pathways in volcanic environments. Check out our study on Mt. #Etna: doi.org/10.1029/2024... Looking forward to insightful discussions in Naples on Nov 17-18! 🌋🔬

On the late evening of 15 March 2025, Strombolian activity started at the Southeast Crater on #Etna. Here are a few photos taken around midnight from the area of Piano Vetore, high on the southwest flank of the volcano.

I’m a big fan of @specfem.org I used it in our 2024 GJI study to generate a waveform dataset for testing a tomographic method and assessing distortions in slab recovery. The geodynamic model and seismic dataset will be publicly available soon for benchmarking! #Seismology doi.org/10.1093/gji/...

On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9 earthquake off Japan’s Tōhoku region triggered a 40m tsunami, reshaping cities & causing a nuclear crisis. 15,000+ lives lost. A stark reminder of nature’s power. Events like this highlight the need for open research. Publish with @WeAreSeismica #Earthquake #Tsunami

I get the spirit and aim of International Women's Day but the fact that in 2025 women only get a day kinda says everything.

New platform, same passion! 🌋 Just landed on Bluesky and it's time to repopulate my feed—starting with some 'vintage' research! Throwback to our 2024 paper on anisotropic #seismictomography of #EtnaVolcano, unraveling its complex dynamics. Still a hot topic!🔥 #AguPubs #GRL doi.org/10.1029/2024...
