The summit hydrothermal system of Stromboli: New insights from self-potential, temperature, CO2 and fumarolic fluids measurements, with structural and monitoring implications.
International audience; Accurate and precisely located self-potential (SP), temperature (T) and COi measurements were carried out in the summit area of Stromboli along 72 straight profiles. SP data were acquired every metre and T data every 2.5 m. CO2 concentrations were acquired with the same density as T, but only along seven profiles. The high density of data and the diversity of the measured parameters allows us to study structures and phenomena at a scale rarely investigated. The shallow summit hydrothermal activity (Pizzo-Fossa area) is indicated by large positive SP, T and COi anomalies. These anomalies are focused on crater faults, suggesting that the fracture zones are more permeab…
