Tracking the 2007–2023 magma-driven unrest at Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy)

A. Astort, E. Trasatti, et al.

Explore the intriguing insights of the ongoing unrest at Campi Flegrei caldera in Italy, where researchers used advanced geodetic data and petrological simulations to uncover the dynamics of volcanic activity. This groundbreaking study, conducted by Ana Astort, Elisa Trasatti, Luca Caricchi, Marco Polcari, Prospero De Martino, Valerio Acocella, and Mauro A. Di Vito, reveals the depths of magma ascent driving the caldera's inflation phenomena.

Abstract
This research uses multi-technique geodetic data, mechanical models, and petrological simulations to understand the ongoing unrest at Campi Flegrei caldera, Italy. Results indicate a shallowing and widening deformation source (3.9-5.9 km depth), alongside a deeper, deflating source (8 km depth). Petrological calculations suggest 0.06 to 0.22 cubic kilometers of magma ascent from at least 8 km depth drives the shallower inflation. This integrated approach improves the constraint on magma ascent during volcanic unrest.
