Shallow conduit dynamics fuel the unexpected paroxysms of Stromboli volcano during the summer 2019

Abstract Open conduit basaltic volcanoes can be potentially hazardous as the eruptive activity may turn suddenly from a steady state to highly explosive. Unexpected changes in explosion intensity are recurrent at Stromboli volcano, where major explosions and large-scale paroxysms sometimes break off...
