Open call for Papers - Special Issue on Multi-Scale Geochemical Monitoring of Active Volcanism: Integrating Satellite, Remote, and In Situ Methodologies for Volcanic and Environmental Assessment
2026-03-23
The geochemical monitoring of active volcanic systems has entered a new era characterized by the integration of multi-scale observations, ranging from sub-meter ground-based sensors to global satellite constellations. This Special Issue focuses on the state-of-the-art methodologies used to track volcanic degassing and its far-reaching consequences. A primary focus of this volume is the synergy between intensive parameters (chemical species ratios and isotopic compositions) and extensive parameters (total mass fluxes). We highlight the critical role of worldwide ground based geochemical networks and advanced satellite platforms (such as TROPOMI and OMI) in the continuous measurement of SO2, CO2, and H2S fluxes.
Deadline for Submission: 30 June 2026
