Since early 2021, peculiar Volcano-Tectonic (VT) seismic sequences with very short inter-event times have become increasingly frequent and evident in the Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy), which has been experiencing a long-term unrest since 2005. During same period ground deformation (uplift), seismicity gas emission that characterize current showed an acceleration. Within this type of sequence, we identify burst-like swarms, characterized by so they are often not easily recognizable. Here show...
As far as the European continent, Region Campania in Southern Italy presents an almost unique combination - terms of both variety and intensity-of potential risks for residents: this densely populated area is actually most notably exposed to hydrogeological (flood landslides), seismic, volcanic hazards In such a setting, alongside with up-to-date scientific approach analysis constant update emergency plans, it paramount importance that "risk awareness culture" should be developed by...
The purpose of this study is to analyze the surface temperature and distribution thermal signatures on Tuscany’s geothermal districts using data obtained through three separate surveys via satellite an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). analysis considers highest available spatial resolution ranging from hundreds meters per pixel images tenths/hundreds centimeters acquired by UAV. maps at suitable measurements camera installed UAV were orthorectified geocoded. This allowed, for example,...
Land Surface Temperature (LST) from satellite data is a key component in many aspects of environmental research. In volcanic areas, LST used to detect ground thermal anomalies providing supplementary tool monitor the activity status particular volcano. this work, we describe procedure aimed at identifying spatial infrared (TIR) frames which are corrected for seasonal influence by using TIR images stations. The was applied area Campi Flegrei (Italy) ASTER and Landsat 8 imagery acquired...
Abstract. Campi Flegrei caldera (Southern Italy) is one of the most hazardous volcanic complexes in world since it located inside densely inhabited urban district Naples-Pozzuoli. In past, has produced devastating to moderate eruptions and periodically undergoes from strong minor uplift episodes, named “bradyseism”, almost always accompanied by seismic swarms. Starting 2005 undergone an unrest crisis, characterized ground uplift, localized gas emissions seismicity, often occurring As a...
A high-resolution Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of Campi Flegrei caldera, obtained from an airborne LiDAR mission, has been analyzed in order to produce a 1:20,000-scale morphometric map this volcanic area. The consists different thematic layers, which include: profile curvature, terrain ruggedness index, elevation range, as well up-to-date structural and building distribution the densely populated Results evidence that most relief is related occurrence tuff-cones, tuff-ring, outer flanks...
ABSTRACT We investigate the dependence of Gutenberg–Richter b parameter on crustal thickness quantified by Moho depth, for nine different regional catalogs. find that, all catalogs considered in our study, b-value is larger areas presenting a thicker crust. This result appears apparent contradiction with previous findings decreasing focal depth. However, both results are consistent acoustic emission experiments, indicating inversely proportion to applied differential stress. Our can be...
The aim of this study is to analyse problems related thermal mapping obtained from data acquired Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) equipped with cameras. We focused on an accurate analysis uncertainties introduced by the PIX4D Mapper software used obtain surface temperature maps images UAS. To achieve aim, we artificial reference during surveys, as well natural hot targets, i.e. anomalies in Pisciarelli hydrothermal system Campi Flegrei caldera (CFc). Artificial expressly created and designed...
In this paper, a high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) of the Ischia Island has been created, and terrain analysis carried out to identify morphostructural elements landscape. is an active volcano located in Western sector Gulf Naples that characterized by historical recent volcano-tectonic activity. The local kinematics unclear, so identification tectonic lineaments might elucidate processes. We features using geomorphic parameters derived from DEM. Successively, comparison with...
The first hydrogeological mapping of Ischia Island at the 1:10,000 scale is presented and discussed. 'Map geohydrologic units Island' accompanying hydrostratigraphic sequence a basin are based on most recent geological maps data from CAR.G Project, new volcanological surveys studies. Data sources include database stored by INGV, Sezione di Napoli, Osservatorio Vesuviano field investigations, including survey springs thermo-mineral which has been neglected up to now. In total 130...
Analysis of a series thermal mappings obtained by UAS flights on quiescent volcanoes requires some special techniques to be performed. The main challenge is represented the difficulty separating hot and cold pixels in areas where their temperatures are quite similar. This task indeed much simpler, for example, lava flows temperature differences between soil rather big. paper shows various software developed order perform this extraction calculate trends over time both average heat flux from...
<title>Abstract</title> Since 2021, peculiar seismic sequences became evident and frequent in Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy), while deformation, seismicity gas emission showed an acceleration. We distinguished burst-like swarms periodical VT sequences. The earthquakes of both types resulted located area that includes the main hydrothermal field, a zone affected by geodetic anomaly, which clearly appeared 2021. Burst-like (max Md = 4.4) are accompanied pseudo-tremor, suggesting mechanism...

Lahars, landslides and debris flows are rapid natural phenomena that can heavily impact on modify the environment, not only from which they triggered but also one in propagate or leave deposits. In particular, lahars reach significant runout distances source areas (e.g., several km) this mainly depend, among other factors, morphology experienced by such propagation. There cases recent history of occurrences impacted catastrophically rural urban settings, as for example at Nevado del Ruiz...
Following the recent unrest phase occurred at Campi Flegrei Caldera in last years, population&#8217;s demand for information on &#8220;bradyseism&#8221; phenomenon has significantly increased. The bradyseism consists a slow subsidence or uplift ground movement that always characterized dynamics of volcanic area. Generally, seismic activity accompanied uplifts whereas no during subsidence. In order to contribute towards understanding this particular population residing area, we...
