Abstract
The standard mildly explosive (Strombolian) activity of Stromboli volcano, in Southern Italy, is periodically interrupted by more energetic explosive events, which range in magnitude from (i) major explosions (∼2-4 per year, jets >200 m high, ~100 m3 of erupted material) to (ii) more powerful but rarer ‘paroxysmal explosions’ (~1 every 5 years, km-sized columns, and ~104-106 m3 of deposits)
