Report on the analogue modelling of the collapse of caldera and volcanic edifices and the associated surface deformation

Report on the analogue modelling of the collapse of caldera and volcanic edifices and the associated surface deformation (M36). This deliverable describes part of the activities and the outcomes attained in Task 3.3. In particular: the results of new experimental series analysing the structural patterns resulting from the collapse of calderas and volcanic edifices, depending on different boundary conditions (e.g., dimensions, depth of shallow magma chambers; presence/absence of tectonic forcing; role of inherited brittle structures). Validation of the results will be achieved through the comparison of the analogue experiments with geological reconstructions obtained from field data.
