Clues on the origin of post-2000 earthquakes at Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy)

Abstract The inter-arrival times of the post 2000 seismicity at Campi Flegrei caldera are statistically distributed into different populations. The low inter-arrival times population represents swarm events, while the high inter-arrival times population marks background seismicity. Here, we show tha...
