Living in the shadow of Italy's volcanoes

Please note: In October 2017 we made an updated version of this video which has corrected a few of the subtitles, we advise using this new version of the video, however this one is still geographically accurate and usable in your classrooms.
Updated video can be found here: • Living in the shadow o...
The aim of this video is to consider the variety of volcanic landforms and the eruptive hazards in southern Italy. In visiting locations in the Bay of Naples, Sicily and the Aeolian Islands, this video interweaves narrative with interviews of local people affected by recent eruptions, expert guides and scientists tasked with monitoring Italy’s active volcanoes. The film considers the threats from future eruptions as well as the considerable benefits afforded to local people living in the shadow of some of Europe’s most iconic volcanoes.
In this video, we cover:
The causes and impacts of recent and historic volcanic eruptions, with visits to some of the localities directly affected
Informative diagrams to support the study of the complex processes associated with the destructive plate margin in southern Italy
Scientific assessments of volcano monitoring and community preparedness
Consideration of the possible impacts associated with the future volcanic eruptions
Positive impacts of volcanic eruptions on the local people
This video is suitable for all ages. It will act as an excellent support in the study of tectonic hazards particularly at GCSE and AS/A Level.

Grandpa was born in Sicily in 1890. Still have family there. Thank you all for your time and energy in educating us. Wish I could be there.

Love the video Mr Ross! I was in your A-Level Geoggers class and cross country team at Berko 92 - 94. Good memories! I have always loved Geography 👍

Love this video. I have experienced what most never will. I get to fly around Vesuvius to Stromboli and then Etna in less than 3 hours in our military helicopter during deployment. They are incredibly amazing to see from the air.

This is the main objective of education. Give serious cultural backgrounds to create adecuate criteria. Very good site.

Excellent. Thank you :)

Nećete mi vjerovati ,gledam vašu emisiju o kalderu,na telefon mi dolazi prijava o potresu u viterbu u Italiji

The longer Vesuvius doesn't erupt, the more powerful the next eruption will probably be. So a long time of quiet means you should probably worry when it DOES become active again.

[@giuliopazzosgravato8891]

Well, if it is true we don't need to worry, until 1944 the Vesuvius didn't erupt for 1865 years and the eruption didn't even destroy the city

At 4:29 minutes - How can a volcano be both “dormant “ and “active and dangerous” at the same time? I find such a description by an expert volcanologist highly confusing and problematic. Can anyone explain this?

[@madnatty]

I think campi fleigri is more dangerous…although vesuvius is obviously dangerous too. Anyone within 100km should be prepared to evacuate at some point.

Ne znam ima li kakve veze,poslije potresa u turskoj more se u Veneciji drastično povuklo,a niz potresa je potresao Istru na nekim otocima je poslije došlo do plimnog vala a zatresla se i italija

[@Tiisiphone]

I wouldn't live anywhere near to Mount Vesuvius. I heard too many stories about Pompeii when I was a kid.

[@piecaruso97]

It’s not that bad living here, besides the risk of earthquakes, you have a lot of thing to enjoy in the city

[@curtis20041]

Its funny they didn't mention the volcanic unrest currently going on with the super volcano campi flegie

[@giuliopazzosgravato8891]

It's not dangerous, I don't live at Naples but I live near Etna, so i can say that we aren't scaried of that

The proper term is Pyroclastic Flow, NOT Pyroclastic Surge. Why do they make idiots presenters who can't follow the script.

[@grendel_nz]

Different terms are used and like fashion, change over time. I prefer flow, but surge actually describes the turbulence of it more accurately. No biggie. :)

[@nemesisprime2993]

Life is the most precious gift to humanity, this is why Jesus Christ died for mankind, not riches are anything else....as a prime i will never live so close to any volcanoes in any country...I know about volcanic richness in soils... but to be honest those things are killers and they respect no one... but you have to respect and fear them....why? Because they can kill you but you can't kill them....stay away from volcanoes.
