Abstract
The SE Tyrrhenian sea is characterized by a peculiar volcanic activity due to the presence of small back-arc basins and roll-back systems as seamounts Marsili, Palinuro and Vavilov and the Aeolian-arc. An intense scientific activity since 1792 explored the dynamics of such a kind of system although paying a limited attention to the understanding of recent hydrothermal activities. This report aims at describing the preliminary results of a multidisciplinary oceanographic exploration of the SE Tyrrhenian sea achieved by a group of researchers of IAMC-CNR (Naples), Osservatorio Vesuviano (INGV, Naples), NOAA (Seattle) and GNS (Lower Hutt), in particular the latter ones leaders in the research field related to hydrothermal plumes and geodynamically active areas (Mariana Arc, Aegean Arc,Tonga, etc..).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
