The Solfatara Magmatic-Hydrothermal System: Geochemistry, Geothermometry and Geobarometry of Fumarolic Fluids

By Luigi Marini, Claudia Principe, Matteo Lelli

Preface.- Introduction.- 1. Historical data.- 2. Summary of the Campi Flegrei geology.- 3. The magmatic - hydrothermal system hosted in the Campi Flegrei caldera with emphasis on the Solfatara.- 4. The expansion (decompression) of the Solfatara fumarolic fluids.- 5. Chemical and isotopic characteristics of Solfatara-Pisciarelli fumarolic fluids.- 6. The geoindicators involving H2O, CO2, CO, CH4 and H2.- 7. The chemical kinetics of the reactions involving H2O, CO2, CO, CH4 and H2.- 8. Calibration and application of the RWG and SS4 indicators for the possible expansion paths of Solfatara fluids.- 9. The redox potential and sulfur gas species.- 10. Soil CO2 diffuse degassing and thermal energy release as indicators of volcanic unrest in the Solfatara-Pisciarelli area.- 11. A comparison between the Solfatara and other magmatic-hydrothermal systems.- 12. Conclusive remarks.
