Volcanism, tectonics and recent geomorphological change in the bay of Napoli

This Field Trip has the double aim of illustrating (i) therecent geological and geomorphological evolution of theGulf of Naples and (ii) the environmental and social impact of accelerated phenomena directly or indirectly related to volcanic activity. The trip starts from Naples (morning of Sept. 5) and arrives back at the same city (afternoon of Sept. 8) after a clockwise journey around the Gulfthat is made partly on land - by bus - and partly on sea, byboato The following Chapter 2 accounts briefly for the geological setting and the Quaternary evolution of the areaaround Naples. A short description of the field trip and itsmain points of interest is given in Chapter 3. More information and illustrations wil
