Conceptual model of shallow magma feeding system for Ischia Island (Italy)

Pisa

In this study we provide a general structural picture of Ischia
island shallow crust to model the processes occurring at shallow
depth, by using geological, geophysical, historical seismicity data
and analytical structural models of the island (PENTA &
CONFORTO, 1951; CUBELLIS & LUONGO, 1998; CUBELLIS et alii,
2004; CARLINO et alii, 2006; PAOLETTI et alii, 2009; VEZZOLI et
alii., 2009; SBRANA et alii, 2009). These studies support the
hypothesis of the presence of a shallow laccolith, which is
responsible of the resurgence of Mt. Epomeo, following the
Green Tuff eruption, volcanic activity and seismicity...
