Abstract:We review the evidence of open-system behavior in the volcanic plumbing system of the Campi Flegrei Caldera. Also, we highlight the estimates of magma residence time, magma ascent, and mixing-to-eruption timescales. In detail, we concentrate on the Campanian Ignimbrite ~ 40ka, the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff (~ 15ka), and the recent activity within the Phlegrean area. We start highlighting the evidence of magma mixing on the pyroclastic rocks deriving from different sources (e.g., crystal disequilibria, vertical zo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
