Mt. Pinatubo is one of several recent-age volcanoes along the west Luzon volcanic arc. A fumarole near the suminit emits gases with magmatic characteristics. Several thermal springs on the east and west flanks yield various fluid typos, including neutral chloride and bicarbonate. Three wellbores probed the Mt. Pinatubo caldera from elevations of +1230 through -1600 mRSL. Trajectories may be des...

1) An accretionary prism with a constant width of approximately 75 km does exist; 2) The morphology of this prism varies rapidly along the arc and is linked, firstly to the morphology and structure of the upper part of the dipping plate and, secondly to the presence of volcanic island acting as sediment sources; The island arc and its connecting structural features such as troughs at the rear o...

The Cascade Range is a geothermal dichotomy. On the one hand, it is an active volcanic arc above a subducting plate and is demonstrably an area of high heat flow. On the other hand, the distribution of hydrothermal manifestations compared to other volcanic arcs is sparse, and the hydrothermal outflow calculated from stream chemistry is low. Several large estimates of undiscovered geothermal res...

the kasian volcanic body is located in the eastern margin of the zagros thrust belt, close to the sanandaj-sirjan metamorphic zone. these volcanic rocks are mainly composed of andesite and andesite-basalt rocks with porphyritic, hypocrystalline porphyritic, hyalo-porphyritic and hyalo-microlitic porphyritic textures. analyses of the distributions of major, rare earth and trace elements reveal a...

[1] We use 2007–2011 Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) data to perform an arc-wide interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) time series survey of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB) and to study time-dependent ground deformation of four Indonesian volcanoes selected following the 2007–2009 study of Chaussard and Amelung (2012). Our objectives are to examine whether arc volcano...

The Upper Kitsault River area lies approximately 23 to 30 km north of Alice Arm, in the Skeena Mining Division, British Columbia. Mineral occurrences are of three principal types: copper and gold-rich quartz-chlorite stockwork deposits, silver-rich quartz-sulphate-carbonate deposits; and molybdenum-rich quartz stockwork deposits (Alldrick et al., 1987). The first two types are hosted by lower J...

Abstmct: Island arc lavas from New Britain and the Marianas have 143 Nd/144 Nd similar to other oceanic basalts and distinctly different from continental flood basalts and thus appear to be derived from a high Sm/Nd, light-REE-depleted reservoir. Consideration of both Nd and Sr isotopes suggests seawater involvement in the generation of some island arc lavas and thus indicates that they may be ...
