Pyroclastic density currents at Etna volcano, Italy: The 11 February 2014 case study

The results presented may contribute to the understanding of this very complex type of volcanic phenomena at Mt. Etna and in similar volcanic settings of the world. In addition, results will lay the basis for the modeling of crater collapse and relative PDC events and consequently for the planning of hazard assessment strategies aimed at reducing the potential risks to scientists and tens of thousands of tourists visiting Etna's summit areas every year.
