Abstract
In 2013, a multidisciplinary research cluster named EtnaPlumeLab (EPL) was established, gathering
experts from volcanology and atmospheric science communities. Target of EPL is to advance the understanding
of Mt. Etna’s gas and aerosol emissions and the related processes, from source to its regional
climatic impact in the Mediterranean area. Here, we present the cluster and its three interacting modules:
EPL-RADIO (Radioactive Aerosols and other source parameters for better atmospheric Dispersion and
Impact estimatiOns), SMED (Sulfur MEditerranean Dispersion) and Med-SuV (MEDiterranean SUpersite
Volcanoes) Work Package 5. First results have provided pioneering highlights on the relevance of Mt.
Etna’s plume impact at the Mediterranean regional scale. These results underline that further efforts need
to be made to get insight into a synoptic volcanogenic-atmospheric chemistry/climatic understanding of
volcanic plumes impact.
