 Abstract: Among the geophysical techniques used to monitor volcanic unrest, only gravimetry can supply direct information on changes in the distribution of underground mass over time and can thus provide unique insight into processes such as magma accumulation in void space or gas segregation at shallow depths. Despite its great potential, time-variable volcano gravimetry is not widely adopted, mainly due to the high cost of instrumentation and the difficulty in assessing the relatively small volcano-related gravity changes against unfavorable environmental conditions. Several past studies from Mt. Etna have highlighted the value of gravity observation for improving our understanding of how volcanoes work and characterizing volcanic hazards. In the early stages of application at Mt. Etna, time-lapse and continuous gravity measurements were accomplished using spring gravimeters. Successively, gravimeters based on different technologies have been employed, including superconducting and quantum devices. In most cases, these applications were world firsts at an active volcano. Here, results from different gravimeter types, that have been used to monitor and study Mt. Etna, are presented. Furthermore, the perspectives opened by emerging technologies are highlighted.
