EGU GIFT2017: Living in a caldera: The case of Campi Flegrei, Italy

[@koreanfan3789]

I absolutely loved this presentation. A job well done by the speaker. He was excellent. I will definately be watching this again

[@Hbhmini]

As a laymen, i’ve been looking for solid information on Campi Flegrei, and I really enjoyed enjoyed this presentation. Than you so much.

[@kristinessTX]

Excellent...watching it again...Love the speaker....very knowledgeable and accessible to a lay person.

[@SevereWeatherCenter]

Uplift has been increasing pretty quickly at Campi Flegrei, and in 2019 Campi Flegrei has uplifted by 18.5 cm, and this year it is uplifting even faster, but nowhere as fast as the 1984-1985 period.

This is a really incredible and informative presentation. Great insight in the dynamics and the uncertainty of a caldera.

[@lenadulcic1]

Great presentation thanks a lot Paolo Papale.

[@edmoon360]

Wonderful lecture. I am shocked that there are between 30 and 40 active volcanoes in Iceland, and the island has a major eruptive event on average every five years yet this volcano alone produces more co2 then the whole of Iceland.

[@ph11p3540]

I really enjoyed this lecture. A feast for the intellect

[@carolynallisee2463]

Though I'm merely an ordinary person with an intense interest in volcanoes, I really enjoyed this video. The data and information were presented in a clear, matter-of-fact manner without the sensationalism I so often see in videos and documentaries aimed at the 'ordinary' person. If we are interested in the subject, then we are after good information, well and clearly presented, so that we can properly understand what is going on. Excess hyperbole and melodrama amy be entertaining for some, but then, we don't watch this kind of thing to be entertained.

Here we are in 2020 with Etna currently erupting. But none of the people are evacuating. They could end up frozen in time like the residents of Pompeii.

[@georgobergfell]

Etna is a lot more predictable and is most likely not going to have a large explosive eruption

[@guidedmeditation2396]

Beautifully presented 🙏 Thank you so very much!!! Difficult things to “forecast “ It definitely is making itself known lately, praying for all of Italy!!!🙏

[@robbie_]

"they live inside the volcano" - oh! Very interesting talk, thanks for sharing.

[@1961misut]

Very interesting presentation so cool to see Ancient Roman land under water ,and fairly modern land uplifted.

[@anthonymather3351]

Great vid....complex material handled and presented very well by Paolo.....went to visit Solfatara in Sept 2018, ( I am a retired Geology teacher),however it was closed to visitors as the local authorities are still sorting out Health and Safety following the deaths of family members who fell into a fumarole / mud geyser. The park is expected to re-open in 2019. Let's hope so!! I now know how to pronounce Campi Flegrei correctly.....thank you Paolo

[@joyleenpoortier7496]

Absolutely amazing presentation. I can't believe how much information was given. Well done I really enjoyed it

[@jesperberggren3765]

Very informative. A massive thanks!

[@viewing1979]

Excellent presentation, not only for the learned; very scary too.

[@ReinhardSchinka]

Excellent presentation, fascinating english with nice accent! Very informative!

[@ethancanin]

excellent presentation

[@alexburke1899]

The capstone on top of this volcano is really strong because the yellow pumice from 15k years ago turns to concrete when mixed with Lyme and water. This geologic setting creates a capstone almost exactly like the famously strong concrete Romans used to build their cities, because all they did was add some Lyme to the yellow pumice and they had a really strong concrete. So basically the previous eruptions have increased the chance of an explosive eruption because the caldera is capped with concrete like pumice in many/most places. I think it’s probably really good that it’s venting all that CO2 it means it has a way to the surface through faults and fissures. The uplift he showed and the graphs weren’t comforting though and had me rethinking that lol.

[@josedess8823]

An exceptional learning video very interesting programme.

[@musicilike69]

Very nice lecture, so informative.

[@saveriosalemme5366]

I lived in Napoli for seventeen years and I climbed to the top of Vesuvio and I visited most of the region. I am more than sure that the outcome of a pyroclastic flow alone will kill millions.

[@davinastrachan8041]

Very good description. Very good lecture. Ash in English, is still said as 'ash' in plural. Not 'ashes', unless referring to the product of cremation .👌

[@anthonyjenkins5889]

Unless when referring to more than one type or variety of ash. Also in my rural neighbourhood when we clean out the woodstove we place the "ashes" on the icy driveway. A metaphor for life perhaps. I am a car guy so may request such a final disposition.

[@walther7147]

Best telling about this case!

[@JasonJason210]

Thank you

[@jesussaves1875]

You showed the activity etc on land... what about the part of the caldera that is under the sea?

[@jesussaves1875]

@@user-dj2iy6zj6d haha :)

[@jesussaves1875]

@@user-dj2iy6zj6d The caldera is massive by the way, but they down play the size of the super volcano because Naples is very lucrative - if they told the truth it would become a ghost city

There's a song about that : ". See Naples and Die ".....!?

In 2003 I have heard Paolo about Campi flegrei, he expected and feared mostly a sirprising phreatic paroxysm

[@lonniefarmer7067]

Thanks!

[@natcat5799]

Brave Napolitanos. Are there anywhere in the world other people living IN VOLCANO?

[@alicesacco9329]

In Japan there is a town that is built inside a crater, in an actual looking stratovolcano. And is active.

[@firsttt1122]

natcat You can find all of em in Indonesia

[@Vulcano7965]

natcat Santorin also has a city inside it. well at the crater walls, but still inside the caldera.

The Tengger Caldera is a settled volcano. You know Mt. Bromo.?

[@ladyflibblesworth7282]

a lot has happened over the last few years, over these lockdowns I have been enjoying finding out about the connections between increasing volcanic activity and the sudden reaching of some climate change tipping points. In the UK almost all scientific information is becoming more and more deceptive and patronizing. I have always tried in life to be unbiased and live by scientific principles.....not easy when the bible is taught as the absolute truth in Wales, but my science teachers always gave me special treatment :) accept for that physics guy that made fun of me for 2 years for suggesting there must be a black hole at the center of the galaxy for it to spin the way it does....off topic :) I miss science so much but school left its scars and I faint every exam now :) even with 95% pass rate for the whole year, still need to pass an exam, so housewife that breeds chickens it is then ;) does anyone know any other good videos that might scratch a brain that's just itching for information that wasn't designed for 5 year-olds to understand. This video was full of satisfying information and I have been stuck at home mostly alone since the Christmas before last, its like my thoughts have turned into brain soup ;) the internet is so full of rabbit holes and damage control, everything important is controversial and needs to be explained to the public by the right people.......its so frustrating when the religious school is gone but then a new religion envelops your whole world . Just like the pagans that worshiped trees only for Christians to go and change Jesuses birthday so that those trees automatically become a sign of worship to him. I honestly think this new world order has everything to do with the runaway greenhouse effect, seems that everything kicks off as soon as signs of climate change reach new levels.

[@brunazardi]

better for the people keep out from that place, but the people don't understand the danger vulcano Campi Fregrei, Vesuvio, etc. the politica dont care about 😳😳😳
