Scientific paper

Measurements of gravity and ground deformation are presented which, in conjunction with seismic data, provide a detailed record of the processes occurring before and during the eruption of Mt. Etna which began during September 1989. It is found that, after the end of the eruptive activity in 1989, fractures in the south-southeast flank of the volcano remained unfilled until some months before the 1991-1993 eruption. The results indicate the utility of microgravity monitoring, as the precursory processes identified here were largely undetected by seismic and ground deformation monitoring.
