Abstract

The Campi Flegrei (CF) caldera, in southern Italy, is the source of some the most powerful Late Pleistocene eruptions of the European sub-continent (e.g., Campanian Ignimbrite, Neapolitan Yellow Tuff eruptions). Although the CF caldera has been continuously and intensively investigated for decades,...

Although the CF caldera has been continuously and intensively investigated for decades, relatively little is known regarding its earliest volcanic activity. Here integrating existing and new tephrostratigraphic data we provide a comprehensive and updated framework for CF volcanic activity which has occurred at ~160 ka and between ~110 ka and ~90 ka. The new tephrostratigraphic, geochemical (EMPA + LA-ICP-MS), chronological (40Ar/39Ar dating) and grain-size distribution data relate to CF tephra deposits preserved in 41 mid-proximal (Campanian Plain), distal (Tyrrhenian Sea) and ultra-distal (Lower Danube area) sedimentary archives. Our results allow us to recognize the presence of at least 13 CF eruptions covering the investigated time frame, with 12 eruptions occurring between 110 and 90 ka. Our high-resolution stratigraphic and chronological investigation also allowed us to recognise that the Triflisco/C-22 tephra, previously considered as a single marker layer, can be actually separated into three different events, sourced from within the CF area in the short time interval of ~93-90 ka, suggesting a more complex and intense volcanic history than previously thought. Moreover, a Bayesian age-depth model, constrained by previous and new high precision 40Ar/39Ar ages, has led to a reliable estimate of the ages of those undated CF eruptions. Overall, the updated framework on the stratigraphy, chronology, dispersion, and geochemistry of the CF tephra of ~160 ka and between 110 ka and 90 ka consolidates the notion that the Middle-Late Pleistocene activity at CF area represents a significant stage of its volcanic evolution, characterised by intense and frequent explosive eruptions.</abstract><type>Journal Article</type><journal>Quaternary Science Reviews</journal><volume>331</volume><journalNumber/><paginationStart>108623</paginationStart><paginationEnd/><publisher>Elsevier BV</publisher><placeOfPublication/><isbnPrint/><isbnElectronic/><issnPrint>0277-3791</issnPrint><issnElectronic/><keywords>Tephrochronology; Campi Flegrei; Middle-Late Pleistocene; EMPA and LA-ICP-MS; 40Ar/39Ar geochronology; Grain-size</keywords><publishedDay>1</publishedDay><publishedMonth>5</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2024</publishedYear><publishedDate>2024-05-01</publishedDate><doi>10.1016/j.quascirev.2024.108623</doi><url/><notes/><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><department>Biosciences Geography and Physics School</department><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><DepartmentCode>BGPS</DepartmentCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><apcterm>Another institution paid the OA fee</apcterm><funders>Dr. M.
