Seismic Tomography Experiment at Italy's Stromboli Volcano

From 25 November to 2 December 2006,
the first active seismic tomography experiment
at Stromboli volcano was carried out
with the cooperation of four Italian research institutions. Researchers on board the R/V Urania of the Italian National Council of Research (CNR), which was equipped with a battery of four 210- cubic- inch generated injection air guns (GI guns), fired more than 1500 offshore shots along profiles and rings around the volcano.
