September 26th – October 1st, 2016
Stromboli, Aeolian Islands, Italy

 

 

From 26th September to 1st October 2016 the annual meeting of the European Seismological Commission working group “Seismic phenomena associated with volcanic activity” (co-sponsered by the IAVCEI Commission on Volcano Seismology) has been held on Stromboli volcano at the Hotel “La Sirenetta”. After the foundation of the working group at Copenhagen (DK) in 1990, the 2016 conference was the 25th anniversary event, which followed previous workshops listed on this website.

Stromboli volcano is one of the most active volcanoes on earth. Since the beginning of time called “lighthouse of the Mediterranean”, already the Greek mariners used the Strombolian eruptions for navigation. Uncounted are the number of scientific projects realized at this natural volcanic laboratory during the last decades. Therefore, the island of Stromboli represented the perfect place for receiving 33 researchers from 13 countries.

Participants enjoyed several excursions: by boat to Strombolicchio, and surrounding the island to Ginostra and the Sciara del Fuoco, a perfect place for a swim …(for volcanologists only!).

The highlight excursion was of course the trip to the craters.
