Abstract
In recent years isotope geochemistry has contributed more and more to the understanding of the processes of magma genesis and differentiation and to the definition of magmatic systems structure. The application of this discipline to the study of the Neapolitan volcanoes (Vesuvius, Campi Flegrei, Ischia and Procida), since the pioneering work of Hurley et al. (1966), has improved the knowledge of the magmatic systems history and structure, both of which are of great importance for the definition of volcanic hazards and for risk mitigation in the Neapolitan area, where 4 million people live on the slopes of active volcanoes and inside a caldera, that has showed signs of significant unrest in the last 40 years.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
