Short summary
Spectral analysis has been applied to seismic events recorded at Vesuvius volcano to test a new tool for a fast event classification. We computed two spectral parameters, central frequency and shape factor from the spectral moments. The results show that volcano-tectonic earthquakes and low frequency events are distinguishable though the spectral moments. Since the computation of spectral parameters is easy and fast, it may become an effective tool for classification in observatory practice.

We study the lahar hazard due to the remobilization of tephra deposits from reference eruptions at Somma–Vesuvius. To this end, we rely on the results of two companion papers dealing with field data and model calibration and run hundreds of simulations from the catchments around the target area to capture the uncertainty in the initial parameters. We process the simulations to draw maps of the probability of overcoming thresholds in lahar flow thickness and dynamic pressure relevant for risk.

We present a numerical model for lahars generated by the mobilization of tephra deposits from a reference size eruption at Somma–Vesuvius. The paper presents the model (pyhsics and numerics) and a sensitivity analysis of the processes modelled, numerical schemes, and grid resolution. This work provides the basis for application to hazard quantification for lahars in the Vesuvius area. To this end, we rely on results of the two companion papers (Part 1 on field data, Part 3 on hazard maps).

We study the distribution of two historical pyroclastic fall–flow and lahar deposits from the sub-Plinian Vesuvius eruptions of 472 CE Pollena and 1631. The motivation comes directly from the widely distributed impact that both the eruptions and lahar phenomena had on the Campanian territory, not only around the volcano but also down the nearby Apennine valleys. Data on about 500 stratigraphic sections and modeling allowed us to evaluate the physical and dynamical impact of these phenomena.

Short summary
The Solfatara volcano (Italy), is monitored by a thermal infrared camera ground network handled by INGV. The dataset processed in this work consists of daily maximum temperatures time-series from 25 April 2014 to 31 May 2019. After a pre-processing, PSD's were calculated, filtering in [15–120] day band, to check if characteristic periodicities exist. Most of the periodicities are ascribable to ambient factors, while 18.16 and 88.71 days have a possible endogenous origin.

We present a detailed analysis of the atypical low frequency seismicity occurred at Mt. Vesuvius in 2003-2018. The different decay patterns of the spectra, the existence of families as well as single events, the wide seismogenic volume, indicate that these events are caused by distinct source mechanisms: slow brittle failure in dry rocks and resonance of fluid-filled cracks. On these basis, we classified the earthquakes as Low Frequency (LF) and Long Period (LP).

We analyse tiltmeter time series recorded from April 2015 to March 2019 at three borehole instruments installed at Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy). We evaluate the crustal response in terms of ground tilting to external excitations of medium/long-period tidal constituents.
The results indicate that the tidal tilting is mainly controlled by the local stress field distribution and rheology; in addition, seasonal exogenous factors like rainfalls play a role in modulating the ground deformation.

Short summary
We study oscillations recorded at Stromboli and Campi Flegrei by different sensors. Seismicity and deformation are investigated on several time scales in order to identify the basic elements of their interaction, whose understanding should provide new insights on the predictive models. At Stromboli, a departure from the equilibrium state is marked by solid tide variations in a certain frequency band. At Campi Flegrei diurnal to annual solid tides modulate an increase of volcanic activity.

Short summary
We studied the subsoil structure of the Campi Flegrei area using both spectral ratios and array techniques (f-k and MSPAC) applied to seismic noise recorded by three different array. By means of joint inversion of dispersion curve and spectral ratio we obtained a Vs model, that is in a good agreement with the stratigraphic information available in the area. In areas such as Campi Flegrei the definition of the velocity model is a crucial issue to characterize the physical parameters of the medium
