The Pisciarelli main fumarole mechanisms reconstructed by electrical resistivity and induced polarization imaging

Abstract Pisciarelli, together with the adjacent Solfatara maar-diatreme, represents the most active structure of the Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy) in terms of degassing and seismic activity. This paper aims to define the structure of the Pisciarelli hydrothermal system (down to a 20 m depth) throug...
