Influence of the Bell-Jar Magma Chamber Geometry on a Caldera Formation

Article Preview

Abstract:

The formation of a caldera poses a serious risk for the society and the environment. There are several established processes (mostly dealing with the conditions inside the reservoir), which must take place in order to reach a collapse leading to the caldera. The role of magma chamber geometry is investigated in this paper, exploiting the numerical modeling. The results indicates that the knowledge of the magmatic system dimensions can provide a helpful factor for an assessment of the caldera formation scenario.
