Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are mixtures of two components, namely solid particles
and fluid (gas) phase. They macroscopically behave as dense, multiphase gravity currents …

A full review of the 79 CE Plinian eruption of Vesuvius is presented through a
multidisciplinary approach, exploiting the integration of historical, stratigraphic …

Effusive activity at Stromboli is uncommon, and the 2002–2003 flank eruption gave us the
opportunity to observe and analyze a number of complex volcanic processes. In particular …

A new proposal for the classification of Somma-Vesuvius (SV) explosive activity is
presented, based on a critical revision of a large set of published and unpublished …

During Earth's history, geosphere-biosphere interactions were often determined by
momentary, catastrophic changes such as large explosive volcanic eruptions. The Miocene …

Lahars represent some of the most dangerous phenomena in volcanic areas for their
destructive power, causing dramatic changes in the landscape with no premonitory signs …

The 79 AD eruption of Vesuvius included 8 eruption units (EU1–8) and several complex
transitions in eruptive style. This study focuses on two important transitions:(1) the abrupt …

The materials and techniques of wall paintings decorating the Domus of Octavius Quartio,
an outstanding patrician villa in ancient Pompeii, were investigated by means of a multi …

We report here on a study of 57 fragments of wall painting excavated from the Temple of
Venus (Pompeii). These samples were characterised by a wide range of analytical methods …

This work is an exploratory effort to address some key concepts about physical processes
that influence the mobility, sedimentology and depositional mechanisms of pyroclastic …
