Multiple hazards and paths to eruptions: A review of the volcanic system of Vulcano (Aeolian Islands, Italy)

A comprehensive review of Vulcano, one of Italy's Aeolian Islands, reveals significant gaps in quantitative hazard assessments despite extensive studies on its volcanic system. The research identifies potential underestimations in the range of natural variability for hazards such as eruption magnitude and multi-hazard impacts, which could inform future risk evaluations. By developing a conceptual model of Vulcano's feeding system, the study links main hazards and outlines possible paths to eruptions, providing an updated snapshot of volcanic hazard knowledge that supports decision-making.
