Scientific paper

The July - August 2001 Mt Etna eruption has been studied using the DinSAR technique and monitored through both continuous GPS measurements on a network of permanent and static stations, as well as daily static and kinematic GPS measurements, made by INGV-CT, on geodetic networks. This eruption, one of the most important lateral eruptive events in the last 30 years, was characterized by an unusual eruptive style, with lava flow emissions at different altitudes along a complex fracture system. A seismic swarm started on July 12th 2001, with most of events located beneath the upper southern flank of the volcano. The number of the daily events gradually decreased until July 18th. The eruption began with the opening of the eruptive vents occurred between 2700, 2500 and 2100 m of altitude, from July 17th to 19th. Lava flows came out from these vents and covered the upper and middle southern flanks of the volcano. A little flow came out also on the north-eastern flank, from an eruptive fracture opened later in the Valle del Leone area.
