Recent Icelandic rifting events have illuminated the roles of centralized crustal magma reservoirs and lateral magma transport1–4, important characteristics of mid-ocean ridge magmatism1,5. A consequence of such shallow crustal processing of magmas4,5 is the overprinting of signatures that trace the origin, evolution and transport of melts in the u...
The balance between the amount of gas coexisting with mantle-derived magmas at depth and that emitted during intereruptive phases may play a key role in the eruptive potential of volcanoes. Taking the December 2018 eruption at Mt. Etna volcano as a case study, we discuss the geochemical data streams observed. The signals indicate a long-lasting pre...

Mount Melbourne and Mount Rittmann are quiescent, although potentially explosive, alkaline volcanoes located 100 km apart in Northern Victoria Land quite close to three stations (Mario Zucchelli Station, Gondwana and Jang Bogo). The earliest investigations on Mount Melbourne started at the end of the 1960s; Mount Rittmann was discovered during the...
The South Sandwich Volcanic Arc is one of the most remote and enigmatic arcs on Earth. Sporadic observations from rare cloud-free satellite images—and even rarer in situ reports—provide glimpses into a dynamic arc system characterised by persistent gas emissions and frequent eruptive activity. Our understanding of the state of volcanic activity alo...
Long-range, high-altitude Unoccupied Aerial System (UAS) operations now enable in-situ measurements of volcanic gas chemistry at globally-significant active volcanoes. However, the extreme environments encountered within volcanic plumes present significant challenges for both air frame development and in-flight control. As part of a multidisciplina...
Recent volcanic gas compilations have urged the need to expand in-situ plume measurements to poorly studied, remote volcanic regions. Despite being recognized as one of the main volcanic epicenters on the planet, the Vanuatu arc remains poorly characterized for its subaerial emissions and their chemical imprints. Here, we report on the first plume...
Understanding the trigger mechanisms of phreatic eruptions is key to mitigating the effects of these hazardous but poorly forecastable volcanic events. It has recently been established that high-rate volcanic gas observations are potentially very suitable to identifying the source processes driving phreatic eruptions, and to eventually detecting pr...
Mud volcanoes are often associated with large areas of CO2 and CH4 emission that are potentially dangerous due to sudden paroxysmal gas and mud eruptions. Despite the interest in understanding such natural environments, they have not yet been thoroughly investigated and a single interpretative framework remains to be elaborated. This lack of knowle...
Volcanic gas emissions are intimately linked to the dynamics of magma ascent and outgassing, and, on geological timescales, constitute an important source of volatiles to the Earth's atmosphere. Measurements of gas composition and flux are therefore critical to both volcano monitoring and to determining the contribution of volcanoes to global geoch...
Resuming erupting activity at volcanoes that have been long quiescent poses a significant challenge to hazard assessment, as it require assessment of whether the change in activity is an isolated event or the beginning of a new eruptive sequence. Such inception is often poorly characterised as quiescent volcanoes tend to be poorly equipped and not...
A vigorously degassing lava lake appeared inside the Santiago pit crater of Masaya volcano (Nicaragua) in December 2015, after years of degassing with no (or minor) incandescence. Here, we present an unprecedented-long (3 years) and continuous volcanic gas record that instrumentally characterises the (re)activation of the lava-lake. Our results sho...
The 2014–2015 Bárðarbunga fissure eruption at Holuhraun in central Iceland was distinguished by the high emission of gases, in total 9.6 Mt SO2, with almost no tephra. This work collates all ground-based measurements of this extraordinary eruption cloud made under particularly challenging conditions: remote location, optically dense cloud with high...
Detecting renewal of volcanic activity is a challenging task and even more difficult in tropical settings. Continuous measurements of soil CO2 flux were carried out at the Piton de la Fournaise volcano during 2013-2016. Since this site is in the tropics, periods of heavy rainfall are in the norm. Measurements covered volcanic unrest after a hiatus...
Stable isotopes of carbon and oxygen in volcanic gases are key tracers of volatile transfer between Earth’s interior and atmosphere. Although important, these data are available for few volcanoes because they have traditionally been difficult to obtain and are usually measured on gas samples collected from fumaroles. We present new field measuremen...
Emission of volcanic gas is thought to be the dominant process by which volatiles transit from the deep earth to the atmosphere. Volcanic gas emissions, remain poorly constrained, and volcanoes of Peru are entirely absent from the current global dataset. In Peru, Sabancaya and Ubinas volcanoes are by far the largest sources of volcanic gas. Here, w...
The proximity of the major city of Arequipa to El Misti has focused attention on the hazards posed by the active volcano. Since its last major eruption in the fifteenth century, El Misti has experienced a series of modest phreatic eruptions and fluctuating fumarolic activity. Here, we present the first measurements of the compositions of gas emitte...
We present here the first volcanic gas compositional time-series taken prior to a paroxysmal eruption of Villarrica volcano (Chile). Our gas plume observations were obtained using a fully autonomous Multi-component Gas Analyser System (Multi-GAS) in the 3 month-long phase of escalating volcanic activity that culminated into the 3 March 2015 paroxys...

The Icelandic Meteorological Office/Icelandic Volcano Observatory is rapidly developing and improving the use
of gas measurements as a tool for pre- and syn-eruptive monitoring within Iceland. Observations of deformation, seismicity, hydrological properties, and gas emissions, united...
The STRAP (Synergie Transdisciplinaire pour Répondre aux Aléas liés aux
Panaches volcaniques) campaign was conducted over the entire year of 2015
to investigate the volcanic plumes of Piton de La Fournaise (La Réunion,
France). For the first time, measurements at the local (near the vent) and at
the regional scales were conducted around the island....
: Volcanic eruptions are often preceded by precursory increases in the volcanic carbon dioxide
(CO2) flux. Unfortunately, the traditional techniques used to measure volcanic CO2 require near-vent,
in situ plume measurements that are potentially hazardous for operators and expose instruments to
extreme conditions. To overcome these limitations, the...
In this paper, we analysed 3-component seismic signals recorded during 27 November 2016-10 January 2017 by two stations installed in Tethys Bay (Victoria Land, Antarctica), close to Mario Zucchelli Station. Due to the low noise levels, it was possible to identify three different kinds of signals: teleseismic earthquakes, microseisms, and icequakes....
The STRAP (Synergie Transdisciplinaire pour Répondre aux Aléas liés aux Panaches volcaniques) campaign was conducted in 2015 to investigate the volcanic plumes of Piton de La Fournaise (La Réunion, France). For the first time, measurements at the local (near the vent) and at the regional scales around the island were conducted. The STRAP 2015 campa...
The periods of increased fumarolic activity at La Fossa volcano have been characterized, since early 80's, by
changes in the gas chemistry and in the output rate of fumaroles. Excepting the direct measurements of the steam output from fumaroles performed from 1983 to 1995, the mass output of the single gas species has been recently measured, with v...
San Miguel volcano, El Salvador, erupted on 29 December 2013, after a 46year period characterized by weak activity. Prior to the eruption a trend of increasing SO2 emission rate was observed, with all values measured after mid-November greater than the average value of the previous year (similar to 310td(-1)). During the eruption, SO2 emissions inc...
Hekla is a frequently active volcano with an infamously short pre-eruptive warning period. Our project contributes to the ongoing work on improving Hekla’s monitoring and early warning systems. In 2012 we began monitoring gas release at Hekla. The dataset comprises semi-permanent near-real time measurements with a MultiGAS system, quantification of...
Quantifying the CO2 flux sustained by lowtemperature
fumarolic fields in hydrothermal/volcanic environments
has remained a challenge, to date. Here, we explored
the potential of a commercial infrared tunable laser
unit for quantifying such fumarolic volcanic/hydrothermal
CO2 fluxes. Our field tests were conducted between
April 2013 and March 2014 a...
We use volatiles in melt inclusions and nominally anhydrous phenocrysts, with volcanic gas flux and composition, and textural analysis of mafic inclusions to estimate the mass of exsolved vapour prior to eruption at Soufriere Hills Volcano (SHV). Pre-eruptive andesite coexists with exsolved vapour comprising 1.6–2.4 wt% of the bulk magma. The water...
CO2 is a key chemical tracer for exploring volcanic degassing mechanisms of basaltic magmatic systems (1). The rate of CO2 release from sub-aerial volcanism is monitored via studies on volcanic plumes and fumaroles, but information is still sparse and incomplete for many regions of the globe, including the majority of the volcanoes in the Central A...
crateric SO 2 emissions, and electrochemical/NDIR multi-component gas analyser system (multi-GAS) instruments for measuring CO 2 /SO 2 ratios of excerpts of the volcanic plume. This study aims to quantify the representativeness of excerpts of CO 2 /SO 2 ratios measured by Multi-GAS as a fraction of the whole plume composition, by comparison with si...
Near-infrared room-temperature Tunable Diode Lasers (TDL) have recently found increased usage in atmospheric chemistry and air monitoring research, but applications in Volcanology are still limited to a few examples. Here, we explored the potentiality of a commercial infrared laser unit (GasFinder 2.0 from Boreal Laser Ltd) to measurement of volcan...
The measurement of soil CO2 flux variations is a
well-established practice in many volcanic areas around the world. Until
recently, however, most of these were made using direct sampling
methods. These days, a variety of automatic devices providing real-time
data now make the continuous monitoring of volcanic areas possible. A
network of automatic...
Quantifying the flux of magma derived CO2 dissipated by fumarolic fields at dormant volcanoes is fundamental to assess their current state of hydrothermal activity and, therefore, the likelihood of a future phreatic/magmatic eruption. There is, in fact, documented evidence that gas fluxes, and CO2 flux in particular, can increase substantially duri...
The continuous measurement of molecular hydrogen (H2) emissions from passively degassing volcanoes has recently been made possible using a new generation of low-cost electrochemical sensors. We have used such sensors to measure H2, along with SO2, H2O and CO2, in the gas and aerosol plume emitted from the phonolite lava lake at Erebus volcano, Anta...
We present a new device for continuous monitoring of the concentration of CO(2) dissolved in water. The device consists of a tube made of a polymeric semi-permeable membrane connected to an infrared gas analyser (IRGA) and a pump. Several laboratory experiments were performed to set the best operating condition and test the accuracy of measurements...
The CO 2 laser-based lidar ATLAS has been used to study the Stromboli volcano plume. ATLAS measured water vapor concentration in cross-sections of the plume and wind speed at the crater. Water vapor concentration and wind speed were retrieved by differential absorption lidar and correlation technique, respectively. Lidar returns were obtained up to...
The low-intensity activity of basaltic volcanoes is occasionally
interrupted by short-lived but energetic explosions which, whilst
frequently observed, are amongst the most enigmatic volcanic events in
Nature. The combination of poorly understood and deep, challenging to
measure, source processes make such events currently impossible to
forecast. H...
Measure of CO2fluxes diffused from the soil (phi CO2) released from active volcanoes brings profound insights into our understanding of volcanic processes, as a matter of fact strong CO2 soil flux variations were recorded before and during the last eruptions on Mt. Etna. In order to further our understanding of the volcano dynamics concerning soil'...
Large variations of the CO2 flux through the soil were observed between November 2002 and January 2006 at Mt. Etna volcano. In many cases, the CO2 flux was strongly influenced by changes in air temperature and atmospheric pressure. A new filtering method was then developed
to remove the atmospheric influences on soil CO2 flux and, at the same time,...
The recent eruption of Stromboli in February–April 2007 offered a unique chance to test our current understanding of processes driving the transition from ordinary (persistent Strombolian) to effusive activity, and the ability of instrumental geophysical and geochemical networks to interpret and predict these events. Here, we report on the results...
The soil CO2 flux on Mt. Etna as recorded by the ETNAGAS
network (an automatic system for measuring soil CO2 flux and
meteorological parameters) started to increase strongly about 5 months
prior to the onset of the 2004-2005 eruption and decreased a few months
before the end of the eruption. Time delays in the occurrences of
anomalies in soil CO2 f...
Soil temperature and total dissolved gas pressure (TDGP) data were recorded by two continuous monitoring stations on the volcano of Stromboli ( Italy) between March and October 2006. During this period several TDGP and soil temperature anomalies, unrelated to external causes and characterized by a similar shape and occurrence time, were recorded. T...

... Intense earthquake swarms and changes in ground deformation patterns indicated the intrusion of a NE-SW-trending vertical segmented dyke with sustained magma inflow (Sigmundsson et al., 2022). On 19 March 2021, a fissure eruption began as an effusive outpouring of basaltic lava from closely-spaced vents (Bindeman et al., 2022;Halldórsson et al., 2022). After about a month of activity, five additional vents opened along a 1 km-long segment extending to the northeast (Bindeman et al., 2022;Pedersen et al., 2022). ...
... The eruption of Christmas 2018 was preceded by mild eruptive activity with small lava flows [18][19][20][21]. Then, in the morning of 24th December, the eruptive activity strengthened and a large breach occurred on the south-east flank of the volcano. ...

Such studies include development of flight platforms [17,18], use of positioning systems (e.g., GNSS integration [19], RTK [20]), use and development of various sensors (LIDAR [21], multispectral [22], hyperspectral [23], thermal cameras [24,25]), use of different types of radar [26], monitoring volcanic gas emissions [27], monitoring fauna [28,29], and many more. ...
... Hence, the technique further provides an edge to the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) or non-Annex 1 countries plying REDD+, i.e. Malawi, where finances pose a great constraint, yet they must provide robust estimates to meet the Measuring Reporting and Verification standard [28], [29] During data acquisition, flight safety, stability and efficiency for UAVs, particularly in hilly and mountainous terrain beyond visual line of sights (BVLOS) are of paramount importance [30,31]. These may be compromised by wind and turbulence, consequently affecting the quality of data acquired by the sensor aboard the imaging craft (ibid). ...
... Therefore, if increasing gas-phase S remobilization during magmatic-gas driven heating of the Fig. 3 Mapping the chemical diversity of the La Fossa fumarolic field. The map shows the spatial heterogeneity of the fumarolic CO 2 /SO 2 ratio in the fumarolic field, and is obtained by post-processing the results of the 16-18 November 2021 Multi-GAS walking traverses using the methodology of ref. 100 . This processing routine allows resolving the spatial heterogeneity of the fumarolic field with high temporal/spatial resolution, and is thus complementary to the standard protocol used to derive the ratios listed in Supplementary Table 2 (in which all data acquired nearby any single fumarole are jointly analysed). ...
... Geophysical evidence suggests that the feeding system beneath Turrialba volcano is made up of two magma reservoirs. Conde et al. (2014) deduced two levels of magma storage from the clustering of localised seismic events, one probably at 4-6 km depth and the shallow one at roughly 1 km below the summit. de Moor et al. (2016); Müller (2018) and Badilla and Taylor (2019) proposed a mid-crust reservoir located in the range between 5-10 km, which is located beneath Irazú volcano according to Lücke et al.

... Volcanoes are natural sources of several air pollutants, including reactive gases (e.g., SO 2 ) and GHGs (e.g., CO 2 ). Drone-assisted monitoring of volcanic plumes provides an interesting option for well-established ground-based measurements, as they can transport gas detectors or samplers directly into the plume, and thus, eliminate the risk to humans [78,[128][129][130][131]. For example, the authors of [128] developed a multi-gas system composed of an amperometric sensor for SO 2 and NDIR detector for CO 2 monitoring. ...
