Mt Unzen - Decade Volcano Geologic History, 1990-1995 Chronology of Activity, Scientific Work, References and Images. Dome growth had continued since May 1991 and dome-collapse pyroclastic flows had occurred frequently; total amount of lava erupted reached approximately 0.2 km^3, while around ten thousand pyroclastic flows were counted. Japanese scientists kept closely monitoring Unzen as a candidate for long-lived dome growth.

Universit` di Udine - Dipartimento di Georisorse e Territorio: Stromboli project Stromboli volcano, one of the Aeolian islands, located north of Sicily, presents a permanent activity which has been reported for thousands of years. This activity results, from the seismic point of view, in a considerable number of explosion-quakes (several per hour) and in a persistent volcanic tremor.
