Abstract Calderas are collapse structures related to the emptying of magmatic reservoirs, often associated with large eruptions from long-lived systems. Understanding how magma is transferred a reservoir surface before major challenge. Here we exploit historical, archaeological and geological record Campi Flegrei caldera estimate deformation preceding Monte Nuovo eruption investigate shallow transfer. Our data suggest progressive accumulation ~1251 1536 in 4.6 ± 0.9 km deep source below...
Abstract The 501 m deep hole of the Campi Flegrei Deep Drilling Project, located west Naples metropolitan area and inside caldera, gives new insight to reconstruct volcano‐tectonic evolution this highly populated volcano. It is one highest risk volcanic areas in world, but its tectonic structure, eruptive history, size largest eruptions are intensely debated literature. New stratigraphic 40 Ar/ 39 Ar geochronological dating allow us determine, for first time, age intracaldera deposits...
Understanding long-term relative sea-level (RSL) changes and coastal dynamics in geologically stable areas is vital to decoding the interplay of natural processes human adaptations. This multidisciplinary research explores connection between mid-to-late Holocene shifts tectonic influences along mid-Tyrrhenian coastline, spanning Fondi Garigliano plains.During Roman era, city Formia emerged as a pivotal observation point for Tyrrhenian Sea, functioning major commercial hub with extensive...
This study investigates the Holocene Relative Sea Level (RSL) fluctuations and their impacts on coastal landscapes in Fondi Coastal Plain. typical low-lying area, spanning approximately 95 square kilometers along Central Tyrrhenian Italy, is characterized by significant portions of its surface lying below mean sea level. geomorphological configuration makes plain particularly sensitive to sea-level changes associated processes, including flooding sedimentary dynamics.The Upper Pleistocene...
The variability of the reticulum pattern, ornamentation and outline Urocythereis populations La Strea Bay is analysed. results show that shell features form U. distinguenda (Neviani, 1928) (= oblonga Brady, 1866) have to be included within high range margaritifera (G.W. Müller, 1894). Consequently, it suggested in upper infralittoral waters inlet two (and not three, as stated previous investigations) species genus presently live. A second form, displaying a relatively low variability,...
A multidisciplinary survey was carried out on the quality of water and sediments estuary Sele river, an important tributary Tyrrhenian Sea, to assess anthropogenic pressures natural variability. Nine sediment sites were monitored analyzed for granulometry, morphoscopy, benthic foraminifera ostracod assemblages, heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Surface assayed ionic composition phytoplankton biomass. Total organic carbon (TOC) total nitrogen (TN) in higher inner part (IE), up...
Abstract The Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy) is an active volcanic system characterized by significant long‐ and short‐term ground deformation phenomena ranging the maxima values in central sector of caldera, where La Starza marine terrace located. A detailed study provided crucial clues for understanding resurgence following 15‐ka Neapolitan Yellow Tuff eruption. doming floor, marked two primary episodes uplift, began soon after collapse about 110 m first (15–9.2 ka) occurred as a response to...
Abstract The Pantano di San Gregorio Magno is a 4.7 km 2 large tectono‐karstic basin located in the axial belt of Southern Apennines, an area affected by intense seismicity. was formed Middle Pleistocene and presently undissected. It filled lacustrine sediments (clays, silts pyroclastic sands) passing laterally into alluvial fan deposits. Geomorphological investigations were integrated with tephrostratigraphical, palynological palaeoecological analyses 61 m thick core (not reaching bedrock)....
The succession of the Late Quaternary La Starza terrace, located within Campi Flegrei caldera, on Tyrrhenian side southern Italy, represents a wellknown example deposition under combined influence bathymetric and physico-chemical variations due to volcanic activities.One hundred seven samples collected in six outcrops some tunnel excavation fronts, with an age between ~12 ~4 k.y.a, comprise both barren fossiliferous sediments.The latter contain siliceous and/or calcareous microfossil...
A Late Miocene palaeobiogeographic framework of the Mediterranean-Atlantic Region, based on a comparative study continental shelf ostracod assemblages collected from section in Saïss Basin, northwestern Morocco, is proposed. Distribution data and statistical analyses allowed to identify six palaeoecoregions. Five these units, that South European Atlantic Shelf, Saharan Upwelling, Adriatic Sea, Western Mediterranean Alboran were identified according ecoregions used modern biogeographic...
