“…Drastic permeability increase during cooling of jointing bodies (Fig. 7b ) may also explain why the aureoles of shallow magma bodies serendipitously encountered by geothermal drilling 33 , 34 have very steep temperature gradients over short distances of a few tens of metres 35 , 36 . Drilling of these magmatic aureoles has been characterised by strong loss in drilling fluid circulation 37 ; the results here suggest that efficient cooling by injection of fluids at ~80 °C in a magmatic aureole at ca.…”

“…The magmatic plumbing in Krafla gained particular notoriety in 2009 when a borehole, K‐39, unexpectedly encountered magma at depths of 2062 m while drilling into the geothermal system within the central volcano [ Mortensen et al , ]. Subsequently, the nearby Iceland Deep Drilling Project‐1 (IDDP‐1) drill hole also drilled into melt at a depth of 2104 m [ Elders et al , ]. These magma bodies have received substantial attention both as targets of geochemical and geophysical surveys and as a model for superheated geothermal power generation [ Elders et al , ].…”

“…Scientific drilling provides unique access to dynamic tectonic environments and samples, and allows us to examine active processes before they are overprinted or altered during exhumation (e.g., Ito et al, 2007;Zoback et al, 2011;Eichelberger and Uto, 2007). Installation of borehole observatories enables monitoring of in situ geophysical, geochemical, mechanical, physical, and hydrological conditions, and their evolution over time.…”

“…Understanding the life cycle of typical volcanic systems is crucial to managing the risk associated with their eruptions (Eichelberger and Uto, 2007). Active magmatic systems also drive hydrothermal circulation, which has been linked to exhalative and epithermal mineral deposits, and to high-enthalpy geothermal energy resources (Elders and Sass, 1988;Fournier, 1999;Eichelberger and Uto, 2007). These linkages provide the opportunity for multi-disciplinary studies that combine hazards analysis with both green energy and Okmok Volcano has produced two caldera-forming eruptions in the last 10 000 years, along with frequent smaller eruptions.…”
