Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
"Past is the key to the future".
Understanding the evolution of volcanic zones in different tectonic environments is important for establishing risk mitigation policies that help to reduce potential damage from volcanic eruptions and lifecycles. During their life cycle, volcanic structures (e.g., stratovolcanoes, calderas, domes) can modify their (i) plumbing systems, (ii) magmatic processes, (iii) magmatic stagnation time, (iv) eruptive styles, and (v) stability, as examples, which may impact the local environment and human population. The volcanic products emitted during eruptions provide useful insights on these processes, making detailed petrography and bulk and mineral geochemistry useful tools for determining the factors which control them. Moreover, active or quiescent volcanic edifices are often associated with hydrothermal systems that can have high geothermal potential that, when exploited, can contribute to the energy transition, helping to reduce carbon emissions due to fossil fuel-related energy.
The objective of this Special Issue, entitled "Magmatic Evolution through Time of Volcanic Zones: Evidence from Isotopic, Geochemical and Geochronological Data of Eruption Products", is to invite contributions that are related to unravelling the evolution of volcanic zones, thus helping to understand the behavior of volcanic systems during their lifetime, as well as contributions to geothermal systems. Therefore, contributions are welcome related to, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Geochronological evolution of volcanic systems;
- Magmatic processes occurring during eruptive cycles of volcanic systems;
- Location and evolution of plumbing system of volcanic edifices;
- Timescales of magmatic input/interactions;
- Changes in eruptive styles of volcanic systems;
- Heat source assessment and heat flux modeling;
- Hydrothermal fluids and mineralogical alteration in volcanic systems.
This Special Issue aims to broaden our understanding of how different volcanic zones have varied with time. In turn, this will help society to be better prepared for future volcanic activity in the studied areas.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Minerals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
