Tracking plumbing system dynamics at the Campi Flegrei caldera, Italy: High-resolution trace element mapping of the Astroni crystal cargo

Geothermobarometric results indicate interaction between an evolved, shallow magma chamber, and a less evolved, deeper pocket of magma, in agreement with previous studies focused on the Astroni 6 eruption products. In addition, a range of textural and trace element zoning patterns point to a complex evolution of both magmas prior to their subsequent interaction. High-resolution trace element crystal maps reveal discrete zonations in compatible elements. These zonations, combined with knowledge of K-feldspar growth rates, highlight a recharge event in the shallow plumbing system a few hours to days before the Astroni 6 eruption.
