The Unità Funzionale Gravimetria e Magnetismo (UFGM) is dedicated to improve the efficiency of gravity and magnetic monitoring networks, to better the capacity of predicting unrests through the observation and interpretation of complete sets of geophysical parameters, and to develop innovative methods for simulation and modelling techniques useful for volcano hazard assessment. The volcano eruptions create some of nature’s most dramatic displays. Depending on their magnitude and location, they also have the potential for becoming major social and economic disasters. In the face of these dangers, the UFGM keeps track of the status of main active volcanoes in Sicily. South-East crater at Mt Etna on 05 September 2006. The primary areas of application of the UFGM include the Applied...
