“…While many volcanic fields, particularly Quaternary, display some recognizable patterns in eruption history, an equally large number display ambiguity in spatial and temporal evolution. To overcome this problem, volcanic hazards of such active volcanic fields are often dealt with by analyzing the full eruption spectrum of volcanic eruption types over the life of the volcanic field [40][41][42][43][44][45]. Geoheritage of monogenetic volcanic fields provides an invaluable asset in facilitating geoeducation in resilience to volcanic hazards.…”

Geoheritage is an important aspect in developing workable strategies for natural hazard resilience. This is reflected in the UNESCO IGCP Project (# 692. Geoheritage for Geohazard Resilience) that continues to successfully develop global awareness of the multifaced aspects of geoheritage research. Geohazards form a great variety of natural phenomena that should be properly identified, and their importance communicated to all levels of society. This is especially the case in urban areas such as Auckland. The largest socio-economic urban center in New Zealand, Auckland faces potential volcanic hazards as it sits on an active Quaternary monogenetic volcanic field. Individual volcanic geosites of young eruptive products are considered to form the foundation of community outreach demonstrating causes and consequences of volcanism associated volcanism. However, in recent decades, rapid urban development has increased demand for raw materials and encroached on natural sites which would be ideal for such outreach. The dramatic loss of volcanic geoheritage of Auckland is alarming. Here we demonstrate that abandoned quarry sites (e.g., Wiri Mountain) could be used as key locations to serve these goals. We contrast the reality that Auckland sites are underutilized and fast diminishing, with positive examples known from similar but older volcanic regions, such as the Mio/Pliocene Bakony–Balaton UNESCO Global Geopark in Hungary.

“…Changes in eruptive style and a shift of the vent location are common and both influence directly the shape of PVs and the type of monogenetic volcanoes formed (Ort and Carrasco-Núñez, 2009;Kshirsagar et al, 2016;Agustín-Flores et al, 2021). For example, near Catemaco Lake in the LTVF, scoria cones and phreatomagmatic structures formed during the same eruption, accompanied by a shifting of the vent location (e.g., Lagunas de Nixtamalapan and Amolapan in LTVF, Nelson and González-Caver, 1992).…”

“…Despite the higher gradient (compared to those of Alberca de Guadalupe and El Caracol) and the inferred high-water table, the eruption of these two PVs turned from an early phreatomagmatic to a magmatic eruptive phase. This change in style was interpreted to reflect a rapid exhaustion of the water supply (Agustín-Flores et al, 2021).…”

The formation of phreatomagmatic volcanoes (PVs) usually involves small volumes of magma but also very violent eruptive activity. Along the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB) the basic conditions that favor water-magma interaction are provided by the presence of frequent small-volume monogenetic volcanism and several inter-montane lacustrine basins. The TMVB is a Plio-Quaternary continental volcanic arc dominated by >3000 monogenetic volcanic structures with only ~3% being the result of phreatomagmatic eruptions. Around 70% of these are clustered in three specific areas within volcanic fields in Valle de Santiago, Serdán-Oriental, and Los Tuxtlas. Here we investigate the low frequency of PVs and their selective locations and whether local environmental conditions play an important role in their formation. An inventory of 103 PVs within the TMVB has been compiled, including tuff cones, tuff rings, and maar-diatremes. The inventory contains morphometric parameters for each structure along with data regarding geological (internal) and environmental (external) parameters of the areas where the PVs are built. The magmatic flux is the first-degree influence in the formation of PVs. Different combinations of environmental parameters have a secondary-degree influence which varies spatially and temporally related to paleoclimate, hydrology, and hydrogeology. A couple of environmental parameter sets are met more often, reflected in the areas with clustered PVs, but less frequent sets of parameters are also detected, reflected in the scattered PVs. Morphometric correlations allow for a clear differentiation between the group of tuff cones and the group of maar-diatremes and tuff rings. In both groups elongated and compound shapes are more frequent. Very often, human settlements are built around or inside PVs. However, their shapes and relatively small size can be misguiding regarding the hazard that this type of volcanism represents, especially in the absence of knowledge about the conditions that result in these type of eruptions. This inventory allows for the study of the many different conditions and places in which a phreatomagmatic eruption could occur, providing a better base of information to prepare for future eruptions.
