Volcanoes and geothermal fields are the best-known natural expression of the Earth’s internal heat, which is mainly caused by the radioactive decay of isotopes in the mantle and the crust. The volcanic activity has played a fundamental role in the Earth’s atmosphere and life development and represents the most important source of geothermal energy. Most of our current knowledge about volcanoes and geothermal fields comes from geological, petrological, geochemical and geophysical data and observations mainly collected in the last decades. All these data, along with extensive analysis and modelling, have provided useful information about the structure and geometry of magma storage in the crust and transfer of magmas and geothermal fluids in volcanic or geothermal areas.
Moreover, contributes including both observational and theoretical studies as well as summarizing the state-of-the-art and new research directions are also welcome.
