Description
Totaro and five co-authors build a 3D map of wave speeds under Mount Etna in a 2024 paper. Mount Etna in Italy is the largest active volcano in Europe. Wave speeds can hint at water, gas, or melt deep below ground. The team used local earthquake tomography, which reads quake waves like a scan.
They used about 4,600 quakes from the past 26 years near Etna. That long span smooths out quirks from single eruptions. The map sharpens a known fast zone in the south-east of the volcano. It also shows two shallow water stores in the north. A belt of cracked, fluid-filled rock shows on the east flank. A deep fluid store sits in the west, apart from the main activity.
