Magma propagation in the Earth's crust and in the volcanic edifice
- Analytical, numerical and analog modelling of magma trajectories in the crust and volcanic edifice
- Analytical, numerical and analog modelling of the observables induced during the propagation (seismicity, deformation, gravity changes)
Magma reservoirs
- Analytical, numerical and analog modelling of accumulation of magma batches to form magma reservoirs
- Analytical and numerical modelling of the effects of magma chamber shape e physical properties of the magma on the properties of the whole system
Interaction between tectonics and volcanism
- Why are volcanoes there where they are? What mechanisms control the migration in time of eruptive vents and of entire volcanic areas?
- How can we determine with increasing accuracy the stress field within and around volcanic edifices?
- What mechanisms lead some earthquakes to trigger volcanic unrest or even eruption?
