The Campi Flegrei caldera (southern Italy) is an active volcano whose last eruption occurred in 1538. This caldera is characterized by ground displacements (subsidence or uplift), typically identified with the term "bradyseism". Over the last two decades the Campi Flegrei caldera was affected by a phase of progressively increasing uplift and it was accompanied by increasing seismicity and geochemical anomalies.

According to the available measurements, the displacement pattern is mainly radial with a maximum uplift in the area corresponding to Rione Terra (Pozzuoli). However, we have also detected a geodetic anomaly, near the Mt.

Abstract

The Campi Flegrei caldera (southern Italy) is an active volcano whose last eruption occurred in 1538. This caldera is characterized by ground displacements (subsidence or uplift), typically identified with the term "bradyseism". Over the last two decades the Campi Flegrei caldera was affected by a phase of progressively increasing uplift and it was accompanied by increasing seismicity and geochemical anomalies. The ground displacement pattern is monitored through GNSS and Differential SAR Interferometry (DInSAR) analysis, the latter focused on the Sentinel-1 SAR data exploitation. According to the available measurements, the displacement pattern is mainly radial with a maximum uplift in the area corresponding to Rione Terra (Pozzuoli). However, we have also detected a geodetic anomaly, near the Mt. Olibano-Accademia area, where most of the recent seismicity of the caldera is concentrated, which become clearly recognizable starting from 2021 and further developed during 2022 and 2023.
