Short summary

This study investigates how far projectiles are thrown during major explosions and paroxysms at Stromboli volcano. The researchers analyzed 67 events spanning about 150 years to study the distances, directions, and areas affected by these projectiles, based on an extensive review of historical, observational, and monitoring data, and by using an innovative approach to map affected areas.
