Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research

An International Journal on the Geophysical, Geochemical, Petrological, Economic and Environmental Aspects of Volcanology and Geothermal Research

An international research journal with focus on volcanic and geothermal processes and their impact on the environment and society.

Submission of papers covering the following aspects of volcanology and geothermal research are encouraged:

(1) Geophysical aspects of volcanic systems: physical properties of volcanic rocks, silicate melts, and magmas; heat flow studies; volcano seismology, geodesy and remote sensing.

(2) Volcano hazard and risk research: hazard zonation methodology, development of forecasting tools; assessment techniques for vulnerability and impact.

(3) Computational modeling and experimental simulation of magmatic and hydrothermal processes: eruption dynamics; magma transport and storage; plume dynamics and ash dispersal; lava flow dynamics; hydrothermal fluid flow; thermodynamics of aqueous fluids and melts.

(4) Geological and geochemical measurements of active volcanic systems and volcanic processes: volcano stratigraphy, eruptive history; evolution of volcanic landforms; eruption style and progress; dispersal patterns of lava and ash; analysis of real-time eruption observations, volatile compositions and degassing; textural analysis of volcanic rocks.

(5) Hydrology, geochemistry and measurement of magmatic, volcanic and hydrothermal fluids (the latter only if these propose novel aspects and processes of volcano-hosted hydrothermal systems); monitoring and modelling of volcanic gas emissions (including direct, in-situ, and remote measurements) and diffuse degassing (soils and springs/aquifers); crater lakes; hydrothermal mineralization.

The journal does not accept geothermal or other research papers that are not related to volcanism.
