Italian supervolcano "Phlegraean Fields" is showing signs of waking up
Since 2005 the Solfatara crater in Italy has been releasing increased volumes of gas, catching the attention of researchers and locals alike.
Gianmarco Buono, a volcanologist at the Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology ( INGV), is leading a study to understand what’s behind this surge in gas emissions. His team aims to provide a tool that can distinguish between carbon dioxide coming from magma and that released by other processes, a method that could be useful in volcanic regions around the world. Buono’s research not only sheds light on the complex interactions beneath the Phlegraean Fields but also provides tools that could be applied to other volcanic areas.
