Interests: petrology and geochemistry of "active" and "fossil" magmatic-hydrothermal systems through a combination of field-based and mineralogical and geochemical methods (i.e., stable isotopes, fluid inclusion investigation); understanding the physicochemical controls that govern the transition from magmatic to magmatic-hydrothermal systems and their implications on the processes of ore formation; study of thermometamorphic and metasomatic processes that take place at the wall of active magma chambers; geothermics
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magmatic-hydrothermal systems are fundamental in driving fluid circulation in the shallow crust and are responsible for convecting large amounts of the Earth’s heat to the surface. At the same time, the development of magmatic-hydrothermal systems plays a key role in several geological processes of great interest for human activities as: (i) Ιt can influence the dynamic of volcanic eruptions; (ii) it is at the base of the genetic processes that lead to the formation of hydrothermal ore deposits; and (iii) it strongly conditions the geothermal system development. For these reasons, the investigation of the magmatic–hydrothermal systems is pivotal to comprehend the genetic mechanisms that govern their development and the crucial volcanological, geothermal, and ore genesis implications.
Magmatic-hydrothermal systems are physically, chemically, and geometrically very complex. As a consequence, their study necessarily requires a multidisciplinary integrated approach, which can give useful constraints for the reconstruction of robust conceptual models concerning their formation.
The present Special Issue aims to collect articles covering various aspects of recent scientific advances focused on active and fossil magmatic-hydrothermal systems, including mineralogical, geochemical, isotopic, and numerical modeling approaches. Papers presenting multidisciplinary integrated investigations will be particularly welcomed.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Minerals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).
