Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrothermal systems are characterized by processes in which hot H2O-rich fluids circulate in the sub-surface and then discharge at the surface generating hydrothermal activity. The observation on the surface of fumaroles and hot springs proves the existence of hot fluids in the underground. When fluids discharge at the surface, they deposit hydrothermal minerals filling up small fractures and/or veins and altering the hosting rocks.
Hydrothermal activity is observed in volcanic arc islands. Linking surface observations with magmatic processes at depth is a necessary step to improve the understanding of the volcanic systems in order to monitor anomalous activity that could lead to future eruptions.
This special issue will cover any subject of Earth science about the hydrothermal systems, from geophysical, geological, geochemical, volcanology and petrology analysis to seismic monitoring, including the mechanisms of fluid discharge. Analytical, numerical and modeling studies from depth to surface scale are welcome. Multidisciplinary approaches and /or original methodologies are strongly encouraged, as well as case studies of areas characterized by high volcanic hazard.
