Description:
The volcanic history of each active volcano is assembled
through detailed field work that establishes stratigraphic
position of the eruption deposits, radiometric ages and
study of historical sources. The volcanic history is
important for hazard assessment, thus the scientific community
must validate the strength of conclusions. Fedele et
al. (2011) propose a new reference chronostratigraphic
framework for Holocene Phlegrean activity, and discuss the
implications for the Campi Flegrei (CF) volcanic history
and related volcanic hazards. In particular, the authors
propose to amend the previously established Holocene
chronostratigraphy of volcanic activity of Campi Flegrei
caldera, presented in Di Vito et al. (1999), Orsi et al.
(2004), Isaia et al. (2009). The proposed changes of Fedele
et al. (2011) are based on new geochronologic data, a
calibration of already existing 14C ages, and a stratigraphic
survey (Perrotta et al. 2010). However, the new chronological
data are limited and pre-existing stratigraphic
studies have not been considered, and this yields an eruption chronology that is inconsistent with the actual
stratigraphic framework.
