VS12 Understanding Volcanic Lakes: a Multi-Disciplinary Approach
*Convener: Franco Tassi <franco.tassi@xxxxxxxx> (Florence, Italy)*
*Co-convener: Dmitri Rouwet (Bologna, Italy)*
Description
Volcanic lakes are one of the most spectacular natural features on our
planet. They are the intersections of magmatic-hydrothermal systems and the
Earth’s surface, and are, poetically speaking, “blue windows” into the
depth of a volcano. This peculiar situation ideally leads to the fact that
tracking temporal variations in the chemical and physical properties of a
volcanic lake can be highly insightful to decipher the volcanic,
hydrothermal or degassing histories of the underlying volcano. As such,
volcanic lakes are ideal targets in monitoring setups. Hazards related to
volcanic lakes can be direct (e.g. phreatic and phreatomagmatic eruptions,
CO2 limnic gas bursts, lahars by lake throw out), or indirect (e.g acid
rain related to strongly evaporating and degassing lakes, acid seepage into
the volcanic edifice). Logically, fluid geochemistry is the most obvious
means to study volcanic lakes, although related subsurface processes are
better understood by geophysical surveys, numerical modeling, or
hydrogeology. Moreover, the sedimentary record at crater lake bottoms can
trace back into the past activity of lakes, or can even give insights into
paleoclimates. This symposium welcomes multi-disciplinary approaches to
study volcanic lakes, in order to stimulate future interdisciplinary
research.
