Abstract
Campi Flegrei is the most active caldera in Europe with more than 70 eruptions within the last 15 ka: the great majority of them have been explosive, variable in magnitude, intensity and vent location. Very high risks are associated with the occurrence of pyroclastic density currents (PDCs). Mapping of long-term PDC hazard in the area is a great challenge due to the unknown eruption time, scale and vent location of the next event as well as the complex dynamics of the flow over the caldera topography. This is additionally complicated by the remarkable epistemic uncertainty on the eruptive record, affecting the time of past events, the location of vents as well as the PDCs areal extent estimates.
