Abstract :
The RST (Robust Satellite Techniques) approach is a multi-temporal scheme of data analysis recently implemented in an automatic processing chain developed at IMAA-DIFA laboratories in order to monitor Italian volcanoes in near real time. In this paper some recent results of satellite monitoring of Etna and Stromboli volcanoes are presented. Preliminary results of RST implementation on SEVIRI (Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager) data, for ash plume identification and tracking will also be, for the first time, analyzed and discussed.
