Hazard Scenarios Related to Submarine Volcanic-Hydrothermal Activity and Advanced Monitoring Strategies: A Study Case from the Panarea Volcanic Group (Aeolian Islands, Italy)

<div>Geothermometric and geobarometric estimations (see the text for further details) of the bubbling gases collected at Panarea in the 1980s (data after [<a href="/journals/geofluids/2019/8728720/#B17">17</a>]), during the 2002-2003 volcanic crisis (data after [<a href="/journals/geofluids/2019/8728720/#B40">40</a>]), and from 2015 to 2018 (this paper). (a) Temperature vs. oxygen fugacity (expressed as Log fO<sub>2</sub>) diagram. The solid buffers quartz-fayalite-magnetite (QFM), nickel-nickel oxide (N-NO), and hematite-magnetite (HM) are plotted as reference (after Eugster and Wones [<a href="/journals/geofluids/2019/8728720/#B78">78</a>]). (b) Estimated equilibrium pressure of the hydrothermal reservoirs.
