These models are calculated by HEAT, which allows continuous adjustment of heterogeneous rock properties, magma injectionrreplenishment, and convective regimes. The basic test of each model is how well it reproduces the measured thermal gradients in boreholes at Licola, San Vito, and Mofete reported by AGIP in 1987. The initial and boundary conditions for each model consists of a general crustal structure determined by geology and geophysics and major magmatic events:Ž. 1 the 37 ka Campanian Ignimbrite; Ž. 2 smaller volume 37±16 ka eruptions;Ž. 3 the 12 ka Neapolitan Yellow Tuff; Ž. 4 recent magmatism Ž e.g., Minopoli at ;10 ka and Monte Nuovo in 1538 AD. While magma chamber depth is well constrained, magma chamber diameter, shape, volume, and peripheral convective regimes are poorly known. Magma chamber volumes between 200 and 2000 km3 have been investigated with cylindrical, conicalŽ. funnel-shaped , and spheroidal shapes. For all reasonable models, a convective zone, developed above the magma chambers after caldera collapse, is necessary to achieve the high gradients seen today. These models should help us understand recent bradyseismic events and future unrest. q 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

  • On Craters of Denudation, with Observations on the Structure And
    THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. DECEMBER 19, 1849. The following communication was read :- On Craters of Denudation, with O~ervations on the Structure and Growth of Volcanic C~nes. By Sir CHARLES LYELL, Pres. Geol. Soc. IN the first edition of my ' Principles of Geology,' published in 1830 (vol. i. ch. 30), I explained the grounds of my objection to the theory previously advanced by Baron yon Buch to account for the origin of the Caldera of Palma, the Gulf of Santorin, and other bowl-shaped cavities of large dimensions, for which he proposed the name of "Craters of Elevation." I regarded the circular escarp- ments surrounding these vast cavities as the remnants of cones of eruption, the central parts of which had been destroyed, and I con- ceived that the removing cause had been chiefly, if not wholly, en- gulfment. In the second edition of my 'Principles,' published in 1832, or two years later, I discussed more particularly the origin of the single deep gorge, which in Palma, Barren Island, and other so-called elevation- craters, forms a breach in the circular range of cliffs, surrounding the central cavity. This ravine or narrow passage I attributed "to the action of the tide during the gradual emergence from the sea and up- heaval of a volcanic island" (ch. 22. vol. i. p. 452), and I at the VOL.

In the thickest stratigraphic section at VosconeŽ. 130 cm , 45 km east of the Phlegraean caldera centreŽ. Pozzuoli , the deposit consists of two units: the lower fall unit Ž. LFU is well sorted, exhibits reverse size grading and is composed of equidimensional light-grey pumice clasts with very subordinate accidental lithics; the upper fall unitŽ. UFU is from well to poorly sorted, crudely stratified, richer in lithics and composed of both equidimensional and prolate pumice clasts. The two fall units show slightly different dispersal axis: N908 for the LFU and N958 for the UFU. Volumes calculated with the method of PyleŽ. 1989 are about 8 km33 for the LFU and 7 km for the UFU. The maximum height of the eruptive columns are estimated, using the model of the maximum lithic clasts dispersal, at 44 km for the LFU and 40 km for the UFU, classifying both fall units as ultraplinian in character.

  • The Geography of Augustus Between Persistence and Evolutionary Dynamics the Phlegraean Fields Between the Augustan Reform and Current Functional Reorganization1
    Unofficial English version provided by the author of the Italian paper published in: BOLLETTINO DELLA SOCIETÀ GEOGRAFICA ITALIANA ROMA - Serie XIII, vol. IX (2016), pp. 253-267 SIMONE BOZZATO – GIACOMO BANDIERA THE GEOGRAPHY OF AUGUSTUS BETWEEN PERSISTENCE AND EVOLUTIONARY DYNAMICS THE PHLEGRAEAN FIELDS BETWEEN THE AUGUSTAN REFORM AND CURRENT FUNCTIONAL REORGANIZATION1 1. General framework. – At the end of the Republican era, thus on the eve of the territorial reorganization issued by Augustus, Italy was divided into more than four hundred local communities, which were self-governed with a high degree of autonomy and with their own magistrates, senates, and political assemblies. The magistrates were vested with jurisdictional powers, even if somewhat limited regarding the nature and value of disputes; the senates dealt with administrative and judicial issues; the local magistrates were elected by the comitia who were authorized to introduce certain restricted legislation. The unifying mantle of granting Roman citizenship to all the inhabitants of what we today call Italy had blurred any differences and softened any diversities, and all municipalities were obviously subject to laws and to Roman law. Rome was the center of power, the place where the constitutional bodies of the State, the magistrates, the Senate and comitia were located and where their meetings were held; the arena in which «national» political life was carried out. Laws and common law were the founding values of a unitary frame within which each individual authority maintained mediated relations with the central power (Laffi, 2007). The Augustan territorial reorganization, which may be seen as based on a flexible pragmatism from the point of view of what would be a substantive approach, was engaged in this status quo.

These velocity models were obtained through the nonlinear inversion of surface- wave tomography data, using as a priori constraints the relevant information available in the literature. Local group velocity data were obtained by means of the frequency-time analysis for the time period between 0.3 and 2 s and were combined with the group velocity data for the time period between 10 and 35 s from the regional events located in the Italian peninsula and bordering areas and two station phase velocity data corresponding to the time period between 25andl00s.In order to invert Ray lei gh wave dispersion curves, we applied the nonlinear inversion method called hedgehog and retrieved average models for the first 30-35 km of the lithosphere, with the lower part of the upper mantle being kept fixed on the basis of existing regional models.

  • Naples, Italy)
    ANNALS OF GEOPHYSICS, VOL. 50, N. 5, October 2007 A study of tilt change recorded from July to October 2006 at the Phlegraean Fields (Naples, Italy) Ciro Ricco, Ida Aquino, Sven Ettore Borgstrom and Carlo Del Gaudio Osservatorio Vesuviano, Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Sezione Napoli, Napoli, Italy Abstract The tiltmetric dataset of Phlegraean Fields area showed a discrete correlation with the volcanic dynamics, suggesting that tiltmetric monitoring is important for the surveillance of active volcanic areas. Tilt data recorded in 2006 at 2 sta- tions belonging to the monitoring network of the Osservatorio Vesuviano (INGV, National Institute for Geophysics and Volcanology, Italy) in the Phlegraean Fields are discussed in this paper. The acquired signals have shown a strong tiltmetric inversion that took place from the end of July 2006. After correcting tilt variations to eliminate the influence of temperature (influencing 90% of the signal at OLB station, hereafter OLB) a significant value of the tilt still re- mains. This change is related to a local inflation episode lasting 3 months, during an unrest phase that started 2 years before. It is interesting to note that tilt amplitude is much greater at OLB than the slope of the displacement field pre- dicted by the theoretical inflation models, but data show that this field is not homogeneous and in some areas very tilt- ed. Moreover, in the last days before the end of tilt inversion, a low energy seismic swarm happened at about 1 km of distance from the tiltmetric station by hundreds of VT (Volcano-Tectonics) and LP (Long-Period) events.

  • On the Rainfall Triggering of Phlegraean Fields Volcanic Tremors
    water Article On the Rainfall Triggering of Phlegraean Fields Volcanic Tremors Nicola Scafetta * and Adriano Mazzarella † Department of Earth Sciences, Environment and Georesources, University of Naples Federico II, Complesso Universitario di Monte S. Angelo, via Cinthia, 21, 80126 Naples, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † Retired. Abstract: We study whether the shallow volcanic seismic tremors related to the bradyseism observed at the Phlegraean Fields (Campi Flegrei, Pozzuoli, and Naples) from 2008 to 2020 by the Osservatorio Vesuviano could be partially triggered by local rainfall events. We use the daily rainfall record measured at the nearby Meteorological Observatory of San Marcellino in Naples and develop two empirical models to simulate the local seismicity starting from the hypothesized rainfall-water effect under different scenarios. We found statistically significant correlations between the volcanic tremors at the Phlegraean Fields and our rainfall model during years of low bradyseism. More specifically, we observe that large amounts and continuous periods of rainfall could trigger, from a few days to 1 or 2 weeks, seismic swarms with magnitudes up to M = 3. The results indicate that, on long timescales, the seismicity at the Phlegraean Fields is very sensitive to the endogenous pressure from the deep magmatic system causing the bradyseism, but meteoric water infiltration could play an important triggering effect on short timescales of days or weeks. Rainfall water likely penetrates deeply into the highly fractured and hot shallow-water-saturated subsurface that characterizes the region, reduces the strength and stiffness of the soil and, finally, boils when it mixes with the hot hydrothermal magmatic fluids migrating upward.
