Text place holder: Integrated analysis of a wide range of eruption parameters is essential for understanding the source processes controlling variations in eruption style and intensity.  In this study, we imaged 80 ash-rich eruptions at Stromboli volcano with a thermal video camera (FLIR, or Forward Looking Infrared Radiometer) and collected corresponding infrasound and seismicity.
