    Notes: Abstract Volcanic gases in the temperature range from 269° to 635° were sampled by means of a filter combination, consisting of two activated charcoal filters, a cooler and a condensate trap. Samples of the steam plume were taken additionally to quantify the depletion of the elements after condensation and dilution by the atmosphere. The elements F, Cl, Br, I, As, Sb, Se, Te and Hg were determined by instrumental and radiochemical NAA. The data obtained are compared to literature values and the total amount released is estimated. The concentrations in the condensate are compared to the amounts on the filters, enabling the identification of some of the compounds present in the gases. Objects of the investigation were Stromboli and Vulcano in Southern Italy.

    Notes: Abstract Commercially available7LiOH was used for collecting volcanic gas samples on the island of Vulcano, Southern Italy, to determine trace elements by NAA. The high γ-background activity, which is induced when NaOH solutions are used as collecting agents was avoided in this way. While several elements (Cl, Br, I, As) could be determined in the collected samples, activation products of impurities in7LiOH produced considerable γ-background and this prevented the determination of other trace elements. An ion-exchange procedure for reducing impurities in7LiOH solutions, in particular of Hg, Ta and W, was then developed and is described here. This procedure, supplemented by steps to eliminate interference from18F in the irradiated samples due to small amounts of6Li in the7LiOH employed will allow very sensitive determinations of further trace elements in volcanic gases.

    Geochemistry of the mantle source and magma feeding system beneath Turrialba volcano, Costa Rica (2016)
    Elsevier Science Limited
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-10-29
    Description: Turrialba volcano lies in the southern sector of the Central American Volcanic Front (CAVF) in Costa Rica. The geochemistry of major and trace elements, and Sr and Nd isotopes of a selected suite of volcanic rocks ranging in composition from basaltic andesite to dacite and belonging to the last 10 ka of activity of Turrialba volcano is described, together with the He-, Ne-, and Ar-isotope compositions of fluid inclusions hosted in olivine and pyroxene crystals. Most of the variability in the rock chemistry is consistentwith typical trends of fractional crystallization, but there is an outlying group of andesites that displays an adakite-like composition (with a consistent depletion in high-field-strength elements and a marked enrichment in Sr) and low 3He/4He ratios (7.0–7.2 Ra). The trace-element composition of these rocks is typical of subduction-related magmas influenced by an OIB-like component at the source associated with the subduction of the Galapagos seamounts. The 87Sr/86Sr (0.703612–0.703678) and 143Nd/144Nd (0.512960–0.512984) ratios of the bulk rocks vary within narrowranges, and are among the least-radiogenic isotope signatures of the CAVF volcanoes. The 3He/4He ratios measured in fluid inclusions hosted in olivine crystals (up to 8.1 Ra) are among the highest for the CAVF, and indicate that radiogenic 4He from fluids derived fromthe subducting slab contribute negligibly to the mantle wedge. The difference in He isotopes between most of studied rocks and those showing adakite-like features reasonably reflects two distinct components in the local mantle: (1) a MORB-like component, characterized by the highest He-isotope ratios (7.8–8.1 Ra), and (2) an OIB-like component, characterized by lower He-isotope ratios (7.0–7.2 Ra), coming from the subduction of the Galapagos seamounts. An overview at the regional scale indicates that high He-isotope ratios are peculiar to the two extreme sectors of the CAVF (Costa Rica to the south and Guatemala to the north), whereas in the central sector (Nicaragua) the magma source is probably contaminated by slab fluids. For the past few years Turrialba volcano has been in a volcanic unrest phase that has included a series of explosions, the most recent of which occurred between October 2014 and May 2015. The volcano is subject to an ongoing safety alert due to the possibility of a magmatic eruption. One of the crucial questions to be addressed is the kind of eruption that can be expected, and hence what type of magma is likely to be involved. The high 3He/4He ratios (7.8–8.0 Ra) measured during 2011 at high-temperature fumaroles of Turrialba craters are comparable to those measured in fluid inclusions of basaltic andesites that erupted in 1864–1866, suggesting that the magma currently feeding the shallow plumbing system has similar geochemical characteristics to the most recently erupted magma.

    Geophysical investigations at Stromboli volcano, Italy: implications for ground water flow and paroxysmal activity (2005)
    Blackwell
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Stromboli volcano (Italy) is characterized by a permanent mild explosive activity disrupted by major and paroxysmal eruptions. These strong eruptions could be triggered by phreatomagmatic processes. With the aim of obtaining a better understanding of ground water flow in the vicinity of the active vents, we carried out a set of geophysical measurements along two profiles crossing the Fossa area (through the Pizzo, the Large and the Small Fossa craters). These measurements include electrical resistivity, induced polarization, self-potential, temperature and CO2 ground concentration. These methods are used in order to delineate the crater boundaries, which act as preferential fluid flow pathways for the upflow of hydrothermal fluids. The absence of fumarolic activity in the Fossa area and the ground temperature close to 100 °C at a depth of 30 cm indicate that the hydrothermal fluids condense close to the ground surface. Part of this condensed water forms a shallow drainage network (〈20 m) in which groundwater flows downslope toward a perched aquifer. The piezometric surface of this aquifer is located ∼20 m below the topographic low of the Small Fossa crater and is close (〈100 m) to the active vents. Electrical resistivity tomography, temperature and CO2 measurements show that this shallow aquifer separates the underlying hydrothermal body from the ground surface. Further studies are needed to ascertain the size of this aquifer and to check its possible implications for the major and paroxysmal events observed at the Stromboli volcano.

    Possible role of fluid overpressure in the generation of earthquake swarms in active tectonic areas: The case of the Peloritani Mts. (Sicily, Italy) (2008)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: The Peloritani Mts. (NE Sicily) are characterized by frequent seismicity. Between 1994 and 2006 more than 1000 earthquakes (1.0≤ML≤3.3) occurred, mostly as highly clustered swarms located at shallow depth near the villages of Castroreale and Rodì Milici (western part of Peloritani Mts.). The same area is also characterized by some geothermal springs and gas vents. Using a multidisciplinary approach, data were collected on the tectonic setting, seismicity pattern and geochemical characteristics of fluid emissions, with the aim of understanding the process of earthquake swarm generation beneath the investigated area. Most of the gases emitted in the study area, in terms of focused and/or diffuse gas emissions often associated with thermal fluids, is of mantle origin, as shown by their He isotopes ratio. On approaching the surface, deep gases interact strongly with local aquifers. An estimate of both the surface efflux of mantle-derived gases measured in focused emissions and of the P–T conditions of fluids in the local crust point to a pressurised gas source that would be located at depth of 7–12 km, corresponding to the range of hypocentral depths of seismic swarms. The complex network of tectonic structures in the area would act as high-permeability pathways for the migration of sub-crustal fluids towards the surface. This scenario could be compatible with a close interplay between pressurised mantle fluids at depth, nucleation of earthquakes due to higher-thanhydrostatic pore pressure and release of mantle-derived gases at the surface. This sequence would be repeated in time, thus producing the observed cycles in the local seismic activity.

    A new method for sampling fumarolic gases: analysis of major, minor and metallic trace elements with ammonia solutions (2007)
    Agu
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: A new method using ammonia solutions in pre-evacuated quartz bottles has been experimented for volcanic gas sampling and analysing. Various tests (reproducibility, variability and comparison with known methods such as NaOH pre-evacuated bottles and acid condensates) have been performed to check for their efficiency. By using ammonia solutions, acid gases (St, HCl, HF), carbon dioxide, noncondensible gases (N2, Ar, …) and metallic trace elements (MTE) can be measured with standard methods (HPLC, GC, titrimetry, ICP-MS). Results showthat acid gases, CO2 and noncondensible gases are sampled and analysedwith similar efficiency inNH4OHbottles than by using the known and accurate NaOH method.Moreover, a key point is that NH4OH solutions, after undergoing adequate processing (oxidation and acidification) allow also precise MTE measurements by using standard ICP-MS methods. Such MTE measurements appear much more reliable than those performed on acid condensates. Pre-evacuated ammonia bottles appear therefore as an optimum tool to collect volcanic gases and to obtain their complete chemical composition.

    Fluid circulation at Stromboli volcano (Aeolian Islands, Italy) from self-potential and CO2 surveys (2005)
    Elsevier
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: This work addresses the study of fluid circulation of the Stromboli island using a dense coverage of self-potential (SP) and soil CO2 data. A marked difference exists between the northern flank and the other flanks of the island. The northern flank exhibits (1) a typical negative SP/altitude gradient not observed on the other flanks, and (2) higher levels of CO2. The general SP pattern suggests that the northern flank is composed of porous layers through which vadose water flows down to a basal water table, in contrast to the other flanks where impermeable layers impede the vertical flow of vadose water. In the Sciara del Fuoco and Rina Grande-Le Schicciole landslide complexes, breccias of shallow gliding planes may constitute such impermeable layers whereas elsewhere, poorly permeable, fine-grained pyroclastites or altered lava flows may be present. This general model of the flanks also explains the main CO2 patterns: concentration of CO2 at the surface is high on the porous north flank and lower on the other flanks where impermeable layers can block the upward CO2 flux. The active upper part of the island is underlain by a well-defined hydrothermal system bounded by short-wavelength negative SP anomalies and high peaks of CO2. These boundaries coincide with faults limiting ancient collapses of calderas, craters and flank landslides. The hydrothermal system is not homogeneous but composed of three main subsystems and of a fourth minor one and is not centered on the active craters. The latter are located near its border. This divergence between the location of the active craters and the extent of the hydrothermal system suggests that the internal heat sources may not be limited to sources below the active craters. If the heat source strictly corresponds to intrusions at depth around the active conduits, the geometry of the hydrothermal subsystems must be strongly controlled by heterogeneities within the edifice such as craters, caldera walls or gliding planes of flank collapse, as suggested by the correspondence between SP^CO2 anomalies and structural limits. The inner zone of the hydrothermal subsystems is characterized by positive SP anomalies, indicating upward movements of fluids, and by very low values of CO2 emanation. This pattern suggests that the hydrothermal zone becomes self-sealed at depth, thus creating a barrier to the CO2 flux. In this hypothesis, the observed hydrothermal system is a shallow one and it involves mostly convection of infiltrated meteoric water above the sealed zone. Finally, on the base of CO2 degassing measurements, we present evidence for the presence of two regional faults, oriented N41‡ and N64‡, and decoupled from the volcanic structures.

    Mercury emissions and stable isotopic compositions at Vulcano Island (Italy) (2010)
    ELSEVIER
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Sampling and analyses methods for determining the stable isotopic compositions of Hg in an active volcanic system were tested and optimized at the volcanic complex of Vulcano (Aeolian Islands, Italy). Condensed gaseous fumarole Hg(fum) T , plume gaseous elemental Hg(g) 0 and plume particulate Hg(p) II were obtained at fumaroles F0, F5, F11, and FA. The average total Hg emissions, based on HgT/SO2 in condensed fumarolic gases and plumes, range from 2.5 to 10.1 kg y−1, in agreement with published values [Ferrara, R., Mazzolai, B., Lanzillotta, E., Nucaro, E., Pirrone, N., 2000. Volcanoes as emission sources of atmospheric mercury in the Mediterranean Basin. Sci. Total Environ. 259(1–3), 115–121; Aiuppa, A., Bagnato, E., Witt, M.L.I., Mather, T.A., Parello, F., Pyle, D.M., Martin, R.S., 2007. Real-time simultaneous detection of volcanic Hg and SO2 at La Fossa Crater, Vulcano (Aeolian Islands, Sicily). Geophys. Res. Lett. 34(L21307).]. Plume Hg(p) II increases with distance from the fumarole vent, at the expense of Hg(g) 0 and indicates significant in-plume oxidation and condensation of fumarole Hg(fum) T . Relative to the NIST SRM3133 Hg standard, the stable isotopic compositions of Hg are δ202Hg(fum) T =−0.74‰±0.18 (2SD, n=4) for condensed gaseous fumarole Hg(fum) T , δ202Hg(g) 0 =−1.74‰±0.36 (2SD, n=1) for plume gaseous elemental Hg(g) 0 at the F0 fumarole, and δ202Hg(p) II =−0.11‰±0.18 (2SD, n=4) for plume particulate Hg(p) II . The enrichment of Hg(p) II in the heavy isotopes and Hg(g) 0 in the light isotopes relative to the total condensed fumarolic Hg(fum) T gas complements the speciation data and demonstrates a gas-particle fractionation occurring after the gas expulsion inambient T° atmosphere. A first order Rayleigh equilibriumcondensation isotope fractionation model yields a fractionation factor αcond-gas of 1.00135±0.00058.

    Importance of structural history in the summit area of Stromboli during the 2002–2003 eruptive crisis inferred from temperature, soil CO2, self-potential, and electrical resistivity tomography (2010)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: assess the stability of the flanks of this volcanic edifice during such a crisis. To provide a response to this question, we analyzed a detailed fluid flow mapping plus the reiteration of a profile located in the vicinity of the active vents using the self-potential method, temperature data, soil-gas (CO2) measurements, and electric resistivity tomography. Coupling the interpretation of these methods that are sensitive to the flow of gas and water in the ground indicates the position of areas of mechanical weakness. In addition, they can be used to monitor the change in the discharge of fluids associated with these features before and during the 2002–2003 eruptive crisis. Our results emphasize the importance of old structural boundaries, such as the Large Fossa crater, in the development of the new set of fractures observed during the 2002–2003 eruptive crisis. Between October 2002 and January 2003, the use of CO2 soil-gas technique evidenced an increase in the discharge of CO2 outside the Large Fossa crater boundaries, along the failure boundary of the southern Sciara del Fuoco area. Self-potential and temperature measurements made before the 2002–2003 eruptive crisis reveal significant changes along the main structural boundaries of the Fossa area. The development of these anomalies is interpreted as an increase of the permeability of the structure from May 2000 to May 2002. Between January 2003 and March 2003 the reiteration of self-potential, temperature, and CO2 measurements shows an increase of fluid discharge along weakness planes located inside the Large Fossa crater boundary. They evidence no change outside this structural boundary. The importance of the Large Fossa crater boundary in controlling the deformation and fluid flow from January to March 2003 has been attested by the development of the fractures inside the Large Fossa crater boundary, and also with a network of electrooptical distance measurement stations located inside and outside this ancient crater. This multidisciplinary approach to fluid flow assessment before and during an eruptive crisis is complementary to geodetic measurements of the deformation of the edifice. It demonstrates for the first time the powerful potential of combining electrical resistivity tomography, self-potential, temperature, and soil CO2 measurements in assessing the position of the planes of mechanical weakness in a volcanic edifice.
