Abstract
Of all the geologic features on the earth’s surface, the major silicic caldera complexes are one of the most fascinating and fundamental phenomena. Not only do they represent profound thermal anomalies in the lithosphere which potentially may be exploited for energy and economic ore deposits, they also offer grave volcanic and earthquake hazards during major eruptive phases.
