Abstract

A total of 45 recent and historic lava flows of Mount Etna, Sicily, were sampled to investigate changes in the strength and orientation of the geomagnetic field in the region. Of the flows sampled, 11 yielded one or more samples which provided anomalously high field intensity results. A rock magnetic study has shown that a high resistance to alternating field demagnetization and group 2 low-temperature susceptibility behaviour are the two factors common to these samples.
