This book provides a comprehensive description of the
volcanological, petrological and geochemical features of the
Copahue volcano, located at the border between Argentina and Chile.
Scientific studies are limited for this volcanic system, due to its
remote location and difficult access in winter. However, Copahue is
one of the most active volcanic systems in the southern Andes.
Monitoring the volcano's activity is of utter importance, as it
provides means of existence for the nearby village of the same
name, hosting the world's highest-located hot-springs resort. This
book's aim is to present the current monitoring activities,Â
and to describe future research programs that are planned in order
to mitigate volcanic hazards. Special attention is therefore
devoted to the social and industrial activities close to the
volcano, such as health therapies and geothermal energy
exploitation. In a special section, the Copahue volcano is
presented as a terrestrial modern analog for early-Earth and Mars
environments.
