...Marta Calzolaio; Fabio Arzilli; Michael R. Carroll Abstract We have performed decompression experiments on a Monte Nuovo trachytic composition, at pressure between 30 and 200 MPa, temperature between 750 °C and 850 °C, time between 7200 and 50,400 (2 × 00) seconds and f O 2 = NNO + 0.8 from which...

...), at ~100 MPa for the Pomici Principali (11 915–12 158 cal. yrs BP), and the Astroni 6 (4098–4297 cal. yrs BP) eruptions, and close to 115 MPa for the last explosive eruption of Monte Nuovo (AD 1538). For comparison, the pressure estimated for a possible reservoir feeding the Cretaio eruption of Ischia...

... were used as a paleotide gauge by pioneer geologists such as Lyell. For the first time, we have radiocarbon dated biological indicators on these remains, showing three 7 m relative sea-level highstands during the fifth century A.D., the early Middle Ages, and before the 1538 eruption of Monte Nuovo...

Also shown are locations of the 1538 Monte Nuovo eruption and Mofete (M1, M2, M5) and San Vito (SV1, SV3) geothermal wells. (Modified...

...., a further caldera forming eruption produced the so‐called Neapolitan Yellow tuff. Before the Monte Nuovo eruption took place in 1538 ( Di Vito et al. , 2016 ; Liedl et al., 2019 ), which is the youngest eruption affecting this very active volcanic area, many others had occurred ( Smith et al. , 2011...

... of this chapter. The excursion described takes you to Monte Nuovo, the cone of the 1538 eruption, and to the town of Pozzuoli. The caldera of Campi Flegrei is famous for its vertical movements, leading to an oscillation about sea level, and this can be readily appreciated in Pozzuoli. The Roman columns of Serapeo...
