| Abstract: | Shear wave splitting parameters represent a useful tool to detail the stress changes occurring in volcanic environments before
impending eruptions. In the present paper, we display the parameter estimates obtained through implementation of a semiautomatic
algorithm applied to all useful datasets of the following Italian active volcanic areas: Mt. Vesuvius, Campi Flegrei, and
Mt. Etna. Most of these datasets have been the object of several studies (Bianco et al., Annali di Geofisica, XXXXIX 2:429–443,
1996, J Volcanol Geotherm Res 82:199–218, 1998a, Geophys Res Lett 25(10):1545–1548, 1998b, Phys Chem Earth 24:977–983, 1999, J Volcanol Geotherm Res 133:229–246, 2004, Geophys J Int 167(2):959–967, 2006; Del Pezzo et al., Bull Seismol Soc Am 94(2):439–452, 2004). Applying the semiautomatic algorithm, we confirmed the results obtained in previous studies, so we do not discuss in much
detail each of our findings but give a general overview of the anisotropic features of the investigated Italian volcanoes.
In order to make a comparison among the different volcanic areas, we present our results in terms of the main direction of
the fast polarization (φ) and percentage of shear wave anisotropy (ξ). |
