Title: | Ground deformations in the Island of Pantelleria (Italy): Insights into the dynamic of the current intereruptive period | Journal: | Journal of Geophysical Research | Series/Report no.: | /112(2007) | Publisher: | American Geophysical Union | Issue Date: | 30-Nov-2007 | DOI: | 10.1029/2006JB004781 | Keywords: | Pantelleria Caldera SAR EDM |
Subject Classification: | 04. Solid Earth::04.03. Geodesy::04.03.06. Measurements and monitoring | Abstract: | The Island of Pantelleria, located between the coasts of Sicily (Italy) and Tunisia, is deforming due to volcanic and tectonic activity. Here we use electro-optical distance meter, leveling, GPS, and differential interferometry synthetic aperture radar data to constrain the inter-eruptive deformation pattern. We observe subsidence affecting the main caldera of Pantelleria, in the central southern sector of the island. Subsidence is mainly related to hydrothermal cooling and/or fluid withdrawal from a shallow (4 km below sea level) magma chamber located beneath the caldera. The relationships between the caldera area and the remnant part of the island are also investigated through a review of petrographic, geochemical, and structural data. |
