Active insular volcanoes are dynamically evolving structures, commonly characterized by steep slopes and high-sedimentation rates due to volcanic activity. These conditions lead to the development of diffuse mass-wasting and erosive-depositional processes along the volcanic flanks. A review of main instability features identified along the submerged portions of Stromboli Volcano (Italy) is presented; they affect about 90% of the submarine extension of the edifice and show different scales and timing. Insights on tsunamigenic potential related to these processes will be also discussed.

Abstract

Active insular volcanoes are dynamically evolving structures, commonly characterized by steep slopes and high-sedimentation rates due to volcanic activity. These conditions lead to the development of diffuse mass-wasting and erosive-depositional processes along the volcanic flanks. A review of main instability features identified along the submerged portions of Stromboli Volcano (Italy) is presented; they affect about 90% of the submarine extension of the edifice and show different scales and timing. Insights on tsunamigenic potential related to these processes will be also discussed.
