Abstract
De Ritis et al. (2024, hereinafter DER24) compiled new detailed magnetic anomaly maps of the sea floor along the Campania Margin encompassing the southern Gaeta Bay and the offshore of Ischia and Campi Flegrei, one of the highest-risk volcanic areas in the world. Due to the area's importance, we maintain that some interpretations should be discussed in more depth because their original magnetic data can furnish new insights into the reconstruction of the volcano-tectonic evolution of the highly populated Campi Flegrei. In their abstract, DER24 wrote: “The study results provide valuable insights into the relationship between volcanic, magmatic, and tectonic activity”, and this comment addresses these specific questions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
