This book gathers current research on this dangerous volcano, covering geological and geophysical structure, magma and hydrothermal systems, monitoring and modeling, hazard assessment and population safety. Benefits scientists, planners and safety officers.

The densely populated Campi Flegrei resurgent caldera is one of the widest known, best studied and highly dangerous volcanoes of the world. This monograph synthesises the current knowledge of this volcano, through different review chapters. Each chapter of this book is dedicated to a specific volcanological aspect, authored by well-recognised experts. The volume attempts to cross the barriers between the volcanological, geological, geochemical and geophysical perspectives, and offers a comprehensive and up-to-date reference to earth-science scholars, as well as land planners and civil defence officers.

Geological and structural setting and evolution.- Geophysical structure.- Architecture and evolution of the magmatic feeding system.- Geochemistry of distal tephra and its implication on tephrochronology.- Rheological properties of magmas and their influence on mixing processes and eruption dynamics.- Magma chamber dynamics.- Magma degassing, hydrothermal system and phreatic eruption hazard.- Current seismicity.- Ground deformation and source modeling (land and space surveys).- Reconstruction of the last eruption from chronicles.- Slope instability in pyroclastic terrains.- Millenary human inhabitation, present urbanization, and geological features.- Unrest and volcanic hazards.
