In 2023 a comprehensive seismic monitoring experiment across the Aeolian volcanic archipelago was deployed as part of a multinational collaborative effort to investigate the relationship between seismicity and volcanic activity. Covering the three southernmost islands in the southern Tyrrhenian Sea, this study included 120 nodal seismic sensors operating in Fall and Winter 2023. Later, 16 broadband stations were deployed over the southern Aeolian Islands of Alicudi, Filicudi, Salina, Panarea, Lipari and Vulcano, and in the vicinity of Milazzo town, in the northern Sicilian coast  yield high-resolution seismic data over a wide frequency range. Preliminary results from spectral analysis reveal distinct seismic signatures associated with volcanic processes, as supported by geochemical observations of subsurface activity (Federico et al., 2023; Inguaggiato et al., 2023). These findings emphasize the importance of dense, multiscale seismic networks and interdisciplinary approaches in advancing volcanic hazard assessment and early warning capabilities.

This study is funded by the INGV Pianeta Dinamico project 2023-2025 CAVEAT (grant no. CUP D53J19000170001) supported by the Italian Ministry of University and Research “Fondo finalizzato al rilancio degli investimenti delle amministrazioni centrali dello Stato e allo sviluppo del Paese”, legge 145/2018.
