Active Tectonics and Its Interactions with Copahue Volcano

  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Active Volcanoes of the World ((AVOLCAN))

Abstract

The aim of this review is to describe the state-of-art of the neotectonic setting of this area as well as to present new data resulting from a recent structural field survey. The integrated analysis of literature and new structural data shows incongruities mainly in some regional structures and in the ENE-WSW striking fault system that affects and controls the feeding system of Copahue volcano. In addition, taking into account the very recent volcanic activity, the structural constraints and the earthquakes occurred in the area close to the volcano, a static stress numerical model was applied to simulate the variations of the local stress perturbing the normal activity of the volcanic plumbing system favouring magma ascent and consequent eruptions. At present, a comprehensive structural model is lacking and more in-depth studies can furnish a complete tectonic framework of the area, which can provide fundamental information to assess volcanic hazard, forecast future volcanic activity, and to enhance the development of the associated geothermal field.

Acknowledgments

Fieldwork in the Copahue area was carried out in the framework and with funding of the IGCP 508YS Project “Inception of volcano collapses by fault activity: examples from Argentina, Ecuador and Italy” co-led by C. Corazzato, and benefited also from a TWAS grant. The authors thank Ivan Petrinovic for field cooperation. We acknowledge Ross E. Stein, Jian Lin and Min Ding for providing the Coulomb input file for the 1960 Chile earthquake. Hiroo Kanamori kindly provided the focal mechanism data for the 1960. Anthony Sladen is acknowledged for kindly providing the 2010 Chile earthquake finite fault models. We also want to thank the Editors for inviting us in the thematic volume and for their kind support, and Marco Bonini and José Viramonte, whose comments improved the paper.
