Volcanic Vents

This spreadsheet indicates the content requested for features representing active volcanic vent data. This simple content model is intended to identify recently active volcanic vents that may indicate areas of active hydrothermal systems. Detailed geophysical or geodetic information related to active magma movement and prediction of eruptive activity are out of scope.

Discussion

This template defines the content model for a service that delivers Volcanic Vent observations. Many of these will be standard map location and IDs, but numerous other measurements may be delivered. Much of the variation will concern procedures used to recorded volcanic data, citations, and possible other collected data that may be useful for geothermal resource research. The Volcanic Vent template should be used when compiling geo data from maps and field data. The content model presented here is intended to present key information necessary to query a volcanic vent observation service and to evaluate the reported activity and potentially related temperature.
