A model of the Phlegraean Fields magma chamber in the last 10,500 years
Volcanological and petrological data suggest that the Phlegraean Fields volcanic activity has been fed, at least in the last 10,500 years, by a not-refilled magma chamber where trachytic residual liquids were ...

The somma-vesuvius magma chamber: a petrological and volcanological approach
The volcanic history of Somma-Vesuvius indicates that salic products compatible with an origin by fractionation within a shallow magma chamber have been repeatedly erupted («Plinian» pumice deposits). The last...
