IGCP-724 group attended the 16th ICGG and carried out field work in Spain
16-22 June, 2024, the 16th International Conference on Gas Geochemistry was held in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, Spain. IGCP-724 group member Giovanni Martinelli, Galip Yuce, Ying Li and Le Hu attended the Conference and gave presentations.
The presentations by Giovanni Martinelli, Ying Li, Galip Yuce and Le Hu are “Recognition of tectonically by geofluids occurrence”, “Geochemical Characteristics of Thermal springs and insights into the intersection between the Xiaojiang fault and the Red River fault southeastern Tibet Plateau”, “The importance of monitoring fluids and gas geochemistry in combination with the tectonical surveys to estimate next failure along the active faults: a remarkable example Erzin district, Türkiye”, and “Mantle-derived helium records the deep structural information of the Yushu-Ganzi-Xianshuihe fault zone in eastern Tibet”, respectively. These presentations tallied with the theme of IGCP-724 project and attracted great attentions by the conference participants. In addition, Ying Li, on behalf of the group, introduced the details of IGCP-724 projects and called for attentions on the project.
The team members had a small meeting there discussing the progress of the project and next steps we should push ahead with. And, under the help with Conference organizers, the team conducted the geological field work together in Tenerife. We investigated the geological background of the Teide volcano, which is one of the most famous active volcanoes in the world, rises to its fullest on the shoulders of mortals at 3,718m above sea level and some 7,000m above the ocean floor. We discussed relationship between the seismicities and activity of volcanoes, and exchange viewpoints with the researchers from Canary Islands Volcanology Institute. Volcano eruptions and earthquakes are both natural disasters for mankind, we hope that under the cooperation of scientists all over the world, the hazard risks can be minimized.
