Abstract

Seismicity affecting Mt. Etna Volcano (Italy) has been investigated in order to identify and discriminate seismic patterns precursory to flank eruptions. An intense period (1981-1996) of seismicity and volcanism, during which eight flank eruptions occurred has been considered. Two statistical methods are used: mean hypothesis testing and entropic decision trees. The results of the two methods are consistent and reveal a pattern of 'deep' and 'western' events, prior to the flank eruptions that can be used as a predictive tool as well as a physical modeling constraint.
