Hydrothermal Sealing at Turrialba, Poás, and Rincón de la Vieja Volcanoes (Costa Rica) Promotes Phreatic and Phreatomagmatic Eruptions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Hydrothermal sealing is a mechanism thought to be responsible for challenging‐to‐forecast phreatic and phreatomagmatic eruptions. To better understand this process, we present a study in which we assessed the textural, mineralogical, and physical properties (porosity, permeability, and tensile strength) of blocks of hydrothermal seal that were
