Gravity changes due to overpressure sources in 3D heterogeneous media: application to Campi Flegrei caldera, Italy

Employing a 3D finite element method, we develop an algorithm to calculate gravity changes due to pressurized sources of any shape in elastic and inelastic heterogeneous media. We consider different source models, such as sphere, spheroid and sill, dilating in elastic media (homogeneous and heteroge...
