AB: In this work we present the data from the real time GPS network "SciaraDat", installed after a tsunami wave-creating flank collapse on the western slope of Stromboli volcano. The utility of this monitoring tool is demonstrated with emphasis on the clear relationship between GPS data and volcanological phenomena. Moreover, data from the 2001 Etna eruption, post-processed with the epoch-by-epoch algorithm, demonstrate the importance of the instantaneous positioning approach for both scientific and civil defence communities related to the potential danger of a volcanic eruptions.
