Dec 4, 2024 · Satellite view of Phlegraean Fields and Solfatara crater showing a large caldera supervolcano west of Naples, Italy. It is part of the Campanian volcanic arc, which includes Mount Vesuvius.

Jan 15, 2022 · Italy is a complex and active volcanic – tectonic region with multiple large, dangerous, currently active volcanic systems (Etna, Vesuvio, Campi Flegrei, Marsili). There is active seamount construction underway in the Tyrrhenian Sea and in the Sicily Strait.

Nov 6, 2023 · Italy is home to numerous volcanoes and a long history of eruptions that are recorded both in the geologic record and by human observers. Some of these volcanoes host calderas similar to, but smaller than, Yellowstone caldera.

3 days ago · The Campi Flegrei ("burning fields") or Phlegrean Fields is a large, 13-km-wide nested caldera located under the western outskirts of the citiy of Naples and under the Gulf of Pozzuoli. It contains many volcanic centers (cinder cones, tuff rings, calderas) that have been active during the past 30-40,000 years.

Vulsini, also known as Volsini volcano, Vulsini Volcanic District, Vulsini Volcanic Complex and the Vulsinian District, is a circular region of intrusive igneous rock in Lazio, Italy, about 87 km (54 mi) to the north northwest of Rome, containing a cluster of calderas known to have been active in recent geologic times.

5 days ago · The images obtained provide a view of the internal structure of Campi Flegrei, improving the understanding of the mechanisms that govern the volcano.A new three-dimensional magnetotelluric tomography has provided an image of the internal structure of the Campi Flegrei caldera up to 20 km deep, a threshold never investigated before. This study provides detailed information on the entire ...

Jan 24, 2025 · Unrest at the Campi Flegrei caldera, Italy, is consistent with the start of rupturing below the surface and a possible return to volcanic activity, according to an analysis of ground...
