Dormant Supervolcano Threatens Global Chaos with Awakening Signs
The Phlegraean Fields supervolcano near Naples, Italy, is showing signs of increased activity, with the Solfatara crater emitting large amounts of carbon dioxide. Researchers, led by volcanologist Gianmarco Buono, are studying these emissions to distinguish between gases from magma and those from other geological processes. Understanding these emissions is crucial for predicting volcanic activity and ensuring public safety. The study highlights the importance of monitoring volcanic gases to better assess potential risks and was published in the journal Geology.
