The origin and role of volcanism in passive continental rifts remains poorly understood relative to other volcano-tectonic settings. The western Sicilian Channel in the central Mediterranean Sea represents an area of pronounced crustal extension with a variety of volcanic landforms closely associated with extensional and strike-slip faults. The main goal of this study is to analyze how volcanism has developed in conjunction with tectonic structures in the western Sicilian Channel. We have extensively mapped the seafloor and sampled volcanic structures along the Sicilian Channel Rift Zone and the Capo-Granitola-Sciacca Fault Zone in July 2023. The obtained data and collected samples will provide new insights into the role of magmatism in regions of continental extension, and will allow us to develop a tectonic and magmatic framework for the western Sicilian Channel.
