Abstract:
The July 2024 eruption of Stromboli volcano has been characterised by the manifestation, at variable intensity, of the entire repertoire of volcanic events that Stromboli volcano is capable of, and is by far the one that has most changed the morphology of the crater terrace and of the Sciara del Fuoco slope in the last decades. We present the results of an Unoccupied Aircraft System (UAS) survey performed on 14 July 2024 and consisting of 4,988 visible and thermal photographs coupled with Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry that allowed us to produce a high-resolution (0.2 m/pixel) Digital Surface Model (DSM). We documented the profound morphological changes of the Stromboli volcano resulting from the 4-11 July 2024 eruption and obtained elevation and volume change estimates by differencing our survey and a UAS-derived pre-event surface (24 May 2024).
