New borehole strain system detects uplift at Campi Flegrei

Abstract

In summary, the network has detected changes that appear to be related to a process originating a new cycle of mini-uplift of the Campi Flegrei volcanic area. Modeling the source or sources responsible for present unrest episodes progresses and is answering the still open question about whether there is a magmatic and/or hydrothermal source causing the Campi Flegrei ground deformations and microgravimetric changes. Answering this question should aid hazard assessment at Campi Flegrei.
