Summary

Eighteen years of GPS surveys in the Aeolian Islands reveal significant land motion, providing critical insights into tectonic and volcanic activity in southern Italy. The study, spanning 1995 to 2013, presents an updated velocity map detailing both horizontal and vertical movements across Lipari, Vulcano, and Panarea Islands, along with northern Sicily and Calabria. This research, led by the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), combines data from national and international geodynamic projects to enhance volcanic and seismic hazard assessment. The open-access AINET-GPS data archive offers a valuable resource for scientific community, supporting further studies in this crucial Mediterranean region.
