Abstract: | In order to zone the territory of Campania Region (southern Italy) with regard to the hazard related to future explosive activity
of Somma-Vesuvio, Campi Flegrei, and Ischia Island, we drew a multi-source hazard map for tephra and pyroclastic flows. This
map, which merges the areas possibly endangered by the three volcanic sources, takes into account a large set of tephra fall
and pyroclastic flow events that have occurred in the last 10 ka. In detail, for fall products at Campi Flegrei and Somma-Vesuvio
we used the dispersal of past eruption products as deduced by field surveys and their recurrence over the whole area. For
pyroclastic flows, the field data were integrated with VEI = 4 simulated events; about 100 simulations sourcing from different
points of the area were performed, considering the different probability of vent opening. The spatial recurrence of products
of both past eruptions and simulated events was used to assign a weight to the area endangered by the single volcanic sources.
The sum of these weights in the areas exposed to the activity of two sources and/or to different kinds of products was used
to draw a hazard map, which highlights the spatial trend and the extent of the single equivalent classes at a regional scale.
A multi-source risk map was developed for the same areas as the graphic result of the product of volcanic hazard and exposure,
assessed in detail from a dasymetric map. The resulting multi-source hazard and risk maps are essential tools for communication
among scientists, local authorities, and the public, and may prove highly practical for long-term regional-scale mitigation
planning. |
