Developed by a volcanologist this app allows you to follow in near-real-time the volcanic earthquakes at Campi Flegrei volcano in Campania, Italy. Since 1950 the risk of an eruption of this volcano has been slowly increasing, representing an increase in potential volcanic hazard for more than 600,000 people living on its surface.
The app retrieves earthquake data obtained by the Vesuvius Observatory of Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) and creates graphs showing trends in earthquake frequency, magnitude and depth. Epicentres are also plotted on an interactive map together with maps of the official hazard zones and your location if you are in the area.
Designed for easy access to important volcanological data this app will appeal to residents and visitors who want to monitor any significant changes which might affect the eruption risk of Campi Flegrei. For residents in particular the app will quickly provide the details of any earthquakes you might feel.
