Phlegraean Fields bradyseism forces evacuations, ground rises 4m since 1950s

The Phlegraean Fields caldera near Naples is experiencing renewed bradyseism, with ground uplift of over four meters since the 1950s and recent earthquakes damaging buildings and prompting thousands to evacuate. The situation is ongoing, with uncertainty over whether it will escalate to a volcanic eruption. This matters because it threatens a densely populated area and could disrupt regional infrastructure and economy.
