SUMMARY:Tracking fluids through Earth’s crust: Insights from volcanic se
 ismicity and impacts for society - Thomas Hudson - Oxford

DESCRIPTION:Mapping fluid accumulation in the crust is pertinent for numer
 ous applications including volcanic hazard assessment\, geothermal energy 
 generation and mineral exploration. In this talk\, I will elucidate the di
 stribution of fluids in the crust below Uturuncu volcano\, Bolivia\, using
  various microseismic methods. I will first explore the origin of fluids a
 t this volcano\, mapping the path of these fluids from the mantle to a sha
 llow hydrothermal system. Along the way\, I will evidence the presence of 
 fluids\, mechanisms of migration\, and insights into fluid composition. We
  will then zoom out to the bigger picture\, discussing some implications o
 f our findings for society\, including how these techniques might derisk g
 eothermal projects and provide foundations for critical metal exploration.
