Thermo-Rheological model of Long Valley Caldera

3D Thermo-Rheological models of Long Valley Caldera presented in Gola G., Barone A., Castaldo R., Chiodini G., D'Auria L., Garcia-Hernandez R., Pepe S., Solaro G. & Tizzani P. "A novel multidisciplinary approach for the thermo-rheological study of volcanic areas: The case study of Long Valley Caldera", which has been submitted for possible publication in Journal of Geophysical Research - Solid Earth. We evaluated the temperature distribution and the brittle-ductile values in a volume of 32×50×30 km3, along East, North and depth directions, respectively. The optimized solution of the conductive-convective model is evaluated with a reservoir permeability of 5.0·10−14 m2, a fault-zone permeability of 5.0·10−14 m2 and a temperature of the magmatic intrusion beneath the caldera of 800°C. The simulated fluid velocity magnitude (mm/year) along x , y and z directions is given positive eastward, northward and upward, respectively. The purely-conductive temperature distribution used as initial condition of the conductive-convective simulation is also given. Finally, we computed the 3D Brittle-Ductile (BD) stratification by considering the optimized conductive-convective thermal model and using a pore fluid factor, a strain rate and a β value equal to 0.36, 1.2, 10–9 s–1, respectively. Further details on the selected petrophysical parameters can be found in the Tables 2 and 3 of the manuscript.

The values of the Thermal and Velocity models are gridded with a regular spacing of 0.25 km. The values of the BD model are gridded with a regular spacing of 0.5 km.
