TL;DR: In this paper, a health hazard assessment of exposure to soil gases (carbon dioxide and radon) was undertaken in the village of Furnas, located in the caldera of an active volcano.

TL;DR: The well-constrained hydrology of the Furnas caldera permits the quantification of the precipitation, evapotranspiration, runoff and the groundwater discharge out of the volcanic structure Chemical composition of the discharge in Furnas has been stable for at least a century as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the environmental impact of fumarolic and soil emanations of magma-derived carbon dioxide across Furnas caldera by measuring the 14 C and 13 C content of 40 specimens of different C3 plants growing within and outside the degassing areas.

TL;DR: In 1998, a volcanic eruption started about 10 km W of Terceira Island, Azores, on the so-called terceira Rift The eruptive vents were located in the Serreta Submarine Ridge, at depths ranging from 300 to 1000 meters.

TL;DR: In this article, the first helium isotope data for thermal waters and gas emissions on the islands of Terceira, Graciosa, Faial, Pico and Flores, as well as new data for Sao Miguel were presented.
