Inflations, deflations and slip on the faults
Salve, my name is Daniele. I am from Etna.
        I trust in Etna! I trust also in InsegnaciEtna!
                     Welcome to Sicily!
                 I will speak Italian. Sorry!
I hope that you will enjoy and want to learn Italian with me!
                      E ora, andiamo!

Campaign GPS measurements
During eruptions and after
earthquakes, GPS measurements
are made at additional (not
permanent) points.
This increases of density of GPS
points is needed to characterize
properly the deformations and
interpret them.

The questions:
- Where is my magma ?          The reality
- What is the volume change?

        Cosa sta
        combinando
        questa volta?
The model !

Boh, cosi simplice
il modello, io non
ci credo!
Oui, Ciccio, et leur longueur

                                                        encore heureux!
bah, Newton non sarebbe stato
meravigliato!

           Carino questo
           modello, pero!
dU = dUmax cos³θ
                               dUmax                                  dV ~ 4 P2 dUmax
         U/R = dU/dR

                                            dU

                                                  dR

                               P

To be constrained
                                                 R = horizontal distance source – station
    the model
    requires a      U          θ                 H = vertical difference source – station
sufficient number                                dR = horizontal displacement
 of observations           R                     dH = vertical displacement
                                                 Θ = angle

             E ora, ciascuno                     dUmax = maximum vertical change (on top of
                                                 the magma chamber)
             dice la sua!
                                                 P = depth of the reservoir
                                                 dV = volume change
Tomorrow GPS in the schools of InsegnaciEtna ?

There is already one at the IISS Benedetto Radice, Bronte (here with Ugo Modica on the roof last year)!
Low cost GPS instruments could be                                           The Geocube light GPS
installed in several school. This might be                                  experimented in 2017
interesting for the students and their
teachers and would make the GPS
monitoring network of Etna denser.
There are different technologies available.

 Yes we can!      Allora, se credi che
                  tua scuola vorebbe
                  ospitarne uno, parla
                  con Salvo e Ciccio Simple and light mobile GPS
                                       system developed by INGV-OE
E tutto per oggi, ciao a tutti!
Ci vediamo sull’Etna (quello
vero!) l’anno prossimo, per
    InsegnaciEtna2021!
