    Abstract

    Over the last several hundred years, Stromboli has been characterized by steady-state Strombolian activity. The volcanic products are dominated by degassed and highly porphyritic (HP-magma) black scoria bombs, lapilli and lava flows of basaltic shoshonitic composition. Periodically (about one to three events per year), more energetic explosive eruptions also eject light coloured volatile-rich pumices with low phenocryst content (LP-magma) that have more mafic compositions than the HP-magma. An in situ major and trace element and Sr isotope microanalysis study is presented on four samples chosen to characterize the different modes of activity at Stromboli: a lava flow (1985-1986 effusive event), a scoria bomb from the 'normal' present-day activity of Stromboli (April 1984), and a scoria and coeval pumice sample from a recent more explosive eruption (September 1996).
