    Abstract

    We analyzed crater SO2 fluxes from Mt Etna, together with soil CO2 effluxes from the volcano's flanks, in the period from 2001 to 2005. Between the 2001 and 2002-2003 eruptions, persistently low values of both parameters suggest that no new gas-rich magma was accumulating at shallow depth (10 km) to shallow (
