Photogrammetric Survey in Volcanology: A Case Study for Kamchatka Active Volcanoes

<p>Since 2000 an intense development of remote stations, transmission device, data processing software and tools for time series analysis aimed to high rate GNSS surveillance and monitoring of active Italian volcanoes has been realized or implemented at INGV. Since the very first case study (the 2001 Mt.Etna&#8217;s eruption) to the 2019 paroxysms of Stromboli, many observations and a lot of specific experience has been achieved on Italian active volcanoes (Etna, Stromboli) to track rapidly developing deformation patterns associated to different volcanic processes, as dike intrusions or explosive activity. Moreover, we here describe the hardware and software improvements for High Rate GNSS monitoring network with a specific attention to the recently realized network in the densely populated area of the Campi Flegrei caldera.</p>

The 1960S

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.
