|  | | | | | | Hot stuff – 15 years of satellite data over Mt. Etna
27 March 2009
| | This animation displays the retrieved vertical displacements of Mt. Etna within the investigated 1992-2006 time interval. Data is based on ESA's ERS-1, ERS-2 and Envisat satellites.

| | | | | Cumulative (a) vertical and (b) east–west deformation maps retrieved by applying
the SBAS-InSAR technique to an ERS-Envisat Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) dataset relevant to the
1992-2006 time interval, with superimposed main fault systems (black lines) and the anticline
structure (A) at the base of Mt. Etna; the results are spatially referenced to the highlighted pixel located in
the town of Catania (black box in the lower right corner of Figure (a)).

| | | | | This Envisat MERIS image acquired on 25 November 2006 captures smoke spewing from Europe’s largest active volcano, Mt. Etna. The 3350 m-high volcano resumed eruptions in early September this year and entered its highly active phase on 5 November, according to the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanic Studies.
