Extremely high diversity of sulfate minerals in caves of the Irazú Volcano (Costa Rica) related to crater lake and fumarolic activity
(International Journal of Speleology, 2018-05)
The caves of the Irazú volcano (Costa Rica), became accessible after the partial collapse of the NW sector of the Irazú volcano in 1994, offering the opportunity to investigate active minerogenetic processes in volcanic ...
Relationship between Diffuse CO2 Degassing and Volcanic Activity. Case Study of the Poás, Irazú, and Turrialba Volcanoes, Costa Rica
(Frontiers in Earth Science, 2017-10-11)
Active volcanoes exhibit diffuse gas emanations through the ground, the most abundant species of which is CO2. However, the relationship between diffuse degassing and volcanic activity is not often clear and some volcanoes ...
Halogen activation in the plume of Masaya volcano: field observations and box model investigations
(Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020)
Volcanic emissions are a source of halogens to the atmosphere. Rapid reactions convert the initially emitted hydrogen halides (HCl, HBr, HI) into reactive species e.g. BrO, Br2, BrCl, ClO, OClO and IO. The activation ...
Nitrogen recycling at the Costa Rican subduction zone: The role of incoming plate structure
(Springer Nature, 2017-10-24)
Efficient recycling of subducted sedimentary nitrogen (N) back to the atmosphere through arc volcanism has been advocated for the Central America margin while at other locations mass balance considerations and N contents ...
La actividad explosiva del volcán Turrialba (Costa Rica) en el período 2010 - 2016
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2016-12-18)
The most recent eruptive activity of Turrialba volcano began on the 5th of January 2010, after more than a century of dormancy. The fragmentation process and aerodynamic behavior of the ash from Turrialba’s vulcanian ...
Carbon and sulfur isotopes in tree rings as a proxy for volcanic degassing
(Geological Society of America, 2019-07-05)
Trees are useful archives of past atmospheric conditions. They have most commonly been used to infer large-scale changes in climate, industrial pollution, and the magnitude and frequency of geological hazards. While ...
Poás volcano: Geophysical-Geochemical signatures and dynamics of its magmatic-hydrothermal system
(International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior, 2014-09)
Poás volcanic complex hosts a hyper-acid lake where geochemical signatures are related to two major controlling processes: (a) The level of inux and dissolution-hydrolysis of magmatic volatiles in a sub-surface hydrothermal ...
