    Description: In summer 2013 a toxic and polluting gas blowout (19 tonnes day−1 CO2, 95 kg day−1 CH4) occurred from two shallow boreholes drilled at only 50 m from the International Airport of Rome (Italy), in the town of Fiumicino. Another gas blowout occurred in the same period from a borehole located offshore, 2 km away, also generating sea-water acidification; it lasted only a couple of days. Onshore, CO2was also diffusing fromholes within the soil, particularly toward the airport, generating a soil flux up to 1.8 tonnes day−1. In 3.5 months ~1500 tonnes of CO2 and 5.4 tonnes of CH4 were emitted in the atmosphere. Temporal monitoring of gas geochemistry indicates that in this area a mixing occurs between shallow and pressurized gas pockets, CO2-dominated, but with different chemical (i.e., He/CH4 ratio) and isotopic (3He/4He, δ13C-δDCH4) characteristics. Numerical simulation of CO2 dispersion in the atmosphere showed that dangerous air CO2 concentrations, up to lethal values, were only found near the vents at a height of 0.2 m. Fiumicino is a high blowout risk area, as CO2 rising through deep reaching faults pressurizes the shallowaquifer contained in gravels confined underneath shales of the Tiber delta deposits. The Fiumicino blowout is a typical example of dangerous phenomenon that may occur in urban context lying nearby active or recent volcanoes and requires quick response on hazard assessment by scientists to be addressed to civil protection and administrators.

    Description: We present a comparative study of soil CO2 flux ( ) measured by five groups (Groups 1–5) at the IAVCEI-CCVG Eighth Workshop on Volcanic Gases on Masaya volcano, Nicaragua. Groups 1–5 measured using the accumulation chamber method at 5-m spacing within a 900 m2 grid during a morning (AM) period. These measurements were repeated by Groups 1–3 during an afternoon (PM) period. Measured ranged from 218 to 14,719 g m–2 day–1. The variability of the five measurements made at each grid point ranged from ±5 to 167%. However, the arithmetic means of fluxes measured over the entire grid and associated total CO2 emission rate estimates varied between groups by only ±22%. All three groups that made PM measurements reported an 8–19% increase in total emissions over the AM results. Based on a comparison of measurements made during AM and PM times, we argue that this change is due in large part to natural temporal variability of gas flow, rather than to measurement error. In order to estimate the mean and associated CO2 emission rate of one data set and to map the spatial distribution, we compared six geostatistical methods: arithmetic and minimum variance unbiased estimator means of uninterpolated data, and arithmetic means of data interpolated by the multiquadric radial basis function, ordinary kriging, multi-Gaussian kriging, and sequential Gaussian simulation methods. While the total CO2 emission rates estimated using the different techniques only varied by ±4.4%, the maps showed important differences. We suggest that the sequential Gaussian simulation method yields the most realistic representation of the spatial distribution of , but a variety of geostatistical methods are appropriate to estimate the total CO2 emission rate from a study area, which is a primary goal in volcano monitoring research.

    Description: In order to test the potentiality of soil CO2 diffuse degassing measurements for the study of underground mass and heat transfer in geothermal systems detailed surveys were performed at Latera Caldera which is an excellent test site, due to the abundant available subsurface data. Over 2500 measurements of soil CO2 flux revealed that endogenous CO2 at Latera Caldera concentrates on a NE-SW band coinciding with a structural high of fractured Mesozoic limestones hosting a water-dominated high-enthalpy geothermal reservoir. The total hydrothermal CO2 degassing from the structural high has been evaluated at 350 t d-1 from an area of 3.1 km2. It has been estimated that such a CO2 release would imply a geothermal liquid flux of 263 kg s-1, with a heat release of 239 MW. The chemical and isotopic composition of the gas indicates a provenance from the geothermal reservoir and that CO2 is partly originated by thermal metamorphic decarbonation in the hottest deepest parts of the system and partly has a likely mantle origin. The ratios of CO2, H2, CH2 and CO to Ar, were used to estimate the T-P conditions of the reservoir. Results cluster at T ~ 200-300°C and PCO2 ~ 100-200 bars, close to the actual well measurements. Finally the approach proved to be an excellent tool to investigate the presence of an active geothermal reservoir at depth and that the H2-CO2-CH4-CO-Ar gas composition is a useful T-P geochemical indicator for such CO2 rich geothermal systems.

    Description: A permanent automatic infrared (IR) station was installed at Solfatara crater, the most active zone of Campi Flegrei caldera. After a positive in situ calibration of the IR camera, we analyze 2175 thermal IR images of the same scene from 2004 to 2007. The scene includes a portion of the steam heated hot soils of Solfatara. The experiment was initiated to detect and quantify temperature changes of the shallow thermal structure of a quiescent volcano such as Solfatara over long periods. Ambient temperature results as the main parameter affecting IR temperatures while air humidity and rain control image quality. A geometric correction of the images was necessary to remove the effects of slow movement of the camera. After a suitable correction the images give a reliable and detailed picture of the temperature changes, over the period October 2004 – January 2007, which suggests origin of the changes were linked to anthropogenic activity, vegetation growth and to the increase of the flux of hydrothermal fluids in the area of the hottest fumaroles. Two positive temperature anomalies were registered after the occurrence of two seismic swarms which affected the hydrothermal system of Solfatara in October 2005 and October 2006. It is worth noting that these signs were detected in a system characterized by a low level of activity with respect to systems affected by real volcanic crisis where more spectacular results will be expected. Results of the experiment show that this kind of monitoring system can be a suitable tool for volcanic surveillance.

    Description: Il monitoraggio in continuo di parametri geochimici in aree di vulcanismo attivo è di primaria importanza per due ragioni principali: 1) prevedere l’evoluzione temporale dei sistemi vulcanici, in particolare l’inizio dell’attività eruttiva; 2) migliorare le conoscenze sui processi profondi che governano il degassamento. Ai fini della previsione di un evento eruttivo, il controllo in continuo del degassamento dal suolo si è mostrato notevolmente utile in diverse zone vulcaniche attive; anomalie nel degassamento della CO2 o di gas in tracce, per i quali la CO2 agisce come carrier (i.e. Rn and He), sono stati osservati prima e/o durante episodi di “unrest” in diversi vulcani (i.e. Etna, Stromboli, Vulcano, Campi Flegrei, Allard et al.,1991; Badalamenti et al., 1988, 1991a, 1991b; Baubron et al.,1990; Carapezza et al.,1990; Chiodini 1996; Lombardi et al.,1984; Lombardi and Nappi, 1986). E’ stato inoltre accertato che la quantità di CO2 rilasciata come emanazione diffusa da un suolo vulcanico è più elevata di quella emessa dalle manifestazioni fumaroliche. In alcuni casi questa quantità è confrontabile con i gas emessi da plumes di vulcani in eruzione (Allard et al.,1991; Baubron,1990; Baubron et al.,1991; Chiodini, 1996; Chiodini et al., 2000). Il principale scopo del monitoraggio, indipendentemente da fini scientifici o di sorveglianza, è di misurare ed interpretare il segnale che arriva dal profondo. Sfortunatamente, la maggior parte delle misure registrate può essere influenzata da fattori esterni. E’ stato empiricamente osservato, infatti, che la concentrazione di gas nel suolo, è legata ai fattori ambientali quali pioggia, pressione barometrica, temperatura e umidità del suolo e dell’aria, intensità e direzione del vento (Alm et al.,1999; Hinkle 1986,1994; Reimer 1980). Un recente lavoro di J.D. Rogie et al., ha messo in evidenza che anche il flusso di CO2 dal suolo dipende dai fattori atmosferici, in particolare, per 4 l’area di Mammoth Mountain, dalla pressione atmosferica e dall’intensità del vento (Rogie J.D. et al., 2001). Di conseguenza, per poter usare proficuamente l’informazione contenuta nei dati registrati, è necessario trovare la relazione tra i fattori esterni ed il flusso, quantificare e quindi rimuovere il “disturbo”. Oggetto del presente rapporto è l’esposizione dei risultati registrati negli ultimi due anni dalle Stazioni per l’Acquisizione di Parametri Geochimici (SAPG) che sono installate ai Campi Flegrei ed al Vesuvio. Le SAPG misurano il flusso di CO2 (jCO2 ) dal suolo e, contemporaneamente, alcuni parametri ambientali che possono avere influenza sul processo di degassamento. Sarà quindi esposta la trattazione matematico-statistica dei dati che ha lo scopo di quantificare ed eliminare l’aliquota di segnale imputabile a tali fattori esterni.

    Description: Carbon dioxide flux from the soil is regularly monitored in selected areas of Vesuvio and Solfatara (Campi Flegrei, Pozzuoli) with the twofold aim of i) monitoring spatial and temporal variations of the degassing process and ii) investigating if the surface phenomena could provide information about the processes occurring at depth. At present, the surveyed areas include 15 fixed points around the rim of Vesuvio and 71 fixed points in the floor of Solfatara crater. Soil CO2 flux has been measured since 1998, at least once a month, in both areas. In addition, two automatic permanent stations, located at Vesuvio and Solfatara, measure the CO2 flux and some environmental parameters that can potentially influence the CO2 diffuse degassing. Series acquired by continuous stations are characterized by an annual periodicity that is related to the typical periodicities of some meteorological parameters. Conversely, series of CO2 flux data arising from periodic measurements over the arrays of Vesuvio and Solfatara are less dependent on external factors such as meteorological parameters, local soil properties (porosity, hydraulic conductivity) and topographic effects (high or low ground). Therefore we argue that the long-term trend of this signal contains the “best” possible representation of the endogenous signal related to the upflow of deep hydrothermal fluids.

    Description: The peculiarity of the quiescent La Fossa volcano is the occurrence of ‘‘crises’’ characterized by strong increases of fumarole T and output and by chemical changes indicative of an increasing input of magmatic fluids. Several surveys carried out during a new ‘‘crisis’’ began in November 2004 indicate that the total diffuse CO2 emission for the crater area increases by one order of magnitude during crises (up to 1600 ton d 1 in December 2005). Concern exists on the possibility that these crises be related to an unrest process leading to eruption. The repetition along decades of the same gas compositional variations during crises, their temporal coincidence with increases of the local shallow seismicity, and the lack of any significant ground motion, rather suggest that they correspond to moments of increasing volatile release from a stationary magma system.

    Description: In this paper we describe the activities carried out for the realization of an image surveillance systems, in the thermal infrared (TIR) wavelengths range, for the continuous long-term monitoring of the shallow thermal structure of the Solfatara (Campi Flegrei) and Vesuvius volcanoes. The system implementation was pursued by both acquiring and integrating all the technological instruments necessary to operate an instrumental system constituted by: a network of remote monitoring stations; a transmission system for the image data centralization; a control unit for both the remote stations control and the acquired data processing. The analysis of two-years long series of IR images collected at the Solfatara allowed us to evaluate, in the observation period, the main thermal features of the major fumarole field located in the SE inner slope of the Solfatara crater.

    Description: Fumarolic fluid compositions and diffuse soil emissions of hydrothermal fluids of the Donna Rachele area (0.86 km2, western flank of Mt. Epomeo, Ischia Island) have been studied in order to develop a conceptual geochemical model of the hydrothermal system. The degassing area was mapped and the total release of hydrothermal gas and heat associated with the diffuse emission of hydrothermal fluids was estimated. A mesostructural study was carried out in order to investigate the relations between the brittle structures and the main pathways of the uprising vapor.The fumarolic compositions are typical of hydrothermal fluids and water (s99%) represents the major component. All gas species in the 2O^H2^CO^CH4^CO2^H2S system are close to equilibrium concentrations at temperatures of V300‡C and at redox conditions slightly more oxidizing than expected. The compositions of the Donna Rachele fumarolic gas approach the pure liquid equilibrium composition. This indicates a high fraction of separated vapor and suggests the presence of a highly energetic hydrothermal system at depth. The pure liquid equilibrium compositions of the Donna Rachele fumaroles, along with the historical records of shallow seismicity, the ‘explosion’ of a well in 1995, the occurrence of intense acoustic phenomena and of shallow wells discharging vapor indicate that the internal pressure of the hydrothermal system is occasionally larger than the hydrostatic pressure. To quantify the energy dissipated in the Donna Rachele area by the emission of fumarolic fluids, the hydrothermal diffuse degassing was studied by means of 336 soil CO2 flux measurements. The highest CO2 fluxes were measured in hydrothermally altered areas along the faults that border Mt. Epomeo. Structural data indicate that the vapor rises up along NW^SE striking normal faults related to gravity-induced stresses and affecting highly fractured lavas. The older faults, which are related to the Mt. Epomeo resurgence, act as a permeability barrier and bound the Donna Rachele diffuse degassing structure. The total hydrothermal CO2 output was estimated to be V9 t d31. Assuming that the H2O/CO2 ratio of the fluids that feed the diffuse degassing is the same as that of fumarolic effluents, the calculated heat flux is V40 MW. This value, which represents an important energy release, is only a part of the total thermal energy release of Ischia, where other fumarolic areas occur. The results obtained at Ischia indicate the importance of thermal energy released by diffuse degassing structures in the energy balance of quiescent volcanoes. Values of the thermal energy release from the Ischia hydrothermal system are comparable with those estimated on other quiescent volcanoes.
