Vein networks may re-activate by tectonic stress and/or fluid overpressure through ‘fault-valve’ and ‘crack-seal’ mechanisms<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref></sup>. Most studies on hydrothermal systems of active volcanoes are based on the geophysical and geochemical monitoring<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref></sup>, but studies on the formation and evolution of vein networks are still lacking, with a few exceptions<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref></sup>. Therefore, research aimed at filling this gap may improve our understanding of the vein-controlling processes as well as of the dynamics of hydrothermal systems. This is particularly important to establish monitoring approaches and to forecast hydrothermal explosions and volcanic eruptions, which may be preceded by a sudden change in the fracture/vein networks as well as by variations in the flux of the discharged fluids. In fact, hydrothermal fields associated with active volcanoes show a large spectrum of vein networks, which range from sub-parallel to orthogonal sets and pervasively anastomosed arrangements<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref></sup>. Sub-parallel arrangements form when the fluid pressure is lower than the maximum horizontal stress, whereas anastomosed networks testify a fluid pressure higher than the maximum horizontal stress<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref></sup>.</p><p>Lipari Island (Aeolian Islands, Italy, Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1A</xref>) is an ideal candidate for the study of vein networks in active volcanic and hydrothermal areas as a) it is an active volcanic complex, with eruptions occurred between 267 ka and 1220 AD<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref></sup>, b) an active hydrothermal system with associated vein network affects the western sector of the island<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref></sup>, and c) the hydrothermal alteration records a poly-phased history related to changes in the temperature and composition of the discharged fluids<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref></sup>. In this study we present original data on vein networks, which provide new insights into the processes acting in hydrothermal systems. Results have relevant implications for the interpretation of monitoring data in volcanic/hydrothermal areas.<fig id="Fig1"><label>Figure 1</label><caption><p>(<bold>A</bold>) Location of Lipari Island.

The Lipari eruptive history can be divided in three main periods<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref></sup>: a) the early activity (267 ka to about 150 ka), mainly concentrated in the western sector and developed along N-S aligned volcanoes (Timponi in Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1B</xref>); b) the 119 ka to 81 ka volcanism, developed in the central sector with the emplacements of the lavas and pyroclastics of the Monte S. Angelo and Monte Chirica volcanoes; c) the 42 ka to 1220 AD activity, which concentrates in the southern/eastern sectors and includes pyroclastics, domes and lava flows. The hydrothermal field is located in the Lipari western sector, where it forms a spatially discontinuous, N-S striking hydrothermal alteration belt (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1C</xref>). This area is interested by veins, normal faults with a prevailing NNW-SSE to N-S strike<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref></sup>, and by active fumarolic activity. Hydrothermal emissions are dominated by magmatic CO<sub>2</sub> with equilibrium temperatures of 170–180 °C and SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2−</sup> up to 780 ppm<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref></sup>. The hydrothermal alteration affects the lavas and scorias of the oldest Timponi volcanoes, the overlying pyroclastics of Monte S. Angelo, the 27 ka old Pianoconte pyroclastic deposits<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref></sup> and the present-day soil (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>). The alteration processes developed in two main phases<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref></sup> (a) an early one (hereafter E1, Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1D</xref>), with temperature ~40 °C and pH~8 characterized by kaolinite with silica, hematite, gypsum, anhydrite (in veins), and alunite; (b) a more recent, fumarolic-type event (hereafter E2, Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1E</xref>), with temperatures up to 90 °C, pH~3 and kaolinite, sulphur, gypsum with Fe-oxide globules (in veins), jarosite and sulphates (in veins and fumaroles). According to the age of the younger volcanic units affected by alteration (27 ka, Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1C</xref>), we deduce that the above described alteration phases are younger than 27 ka and are still active. We cannot further constrain the age of these two phases because the age of the alteration minerals is unknown.</p></sec><sec id="Sec2"><title>Physical parameters of the vein networks</title><p>The E1 and E2 veins are characterized in the field by measuring aperture <italic>a</italic>, length <italic>l</italic>, and vein spacing <italic>s</italic>.

These structures include sub-vertical normal faults, fractures and gypsum filled veins. The easternmost belt is about 250 m long and ~50 m wide, while the western one measures 160 m in length and 15–20 m in width. The present-day fumarolic activity consists of several emission points concentrated in the overstep area (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1C</xref>). E1 alteration affects the whole hydrothermalized area, whereas E2 concentrates at the tip of the two belts and in the overstep area. Kinematic indicators of the outcropping N-S striking faults<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref></sup> indicate dip-slip movements consistent with a regional, normal stress field with sub-vertical <italic>σ</italic><sub><italic>1</italic></sub>, sub-horizontal N-S striking <italic>σ</italic><sub><italic>2</italic></sub> = <italic>σ</italic><sub><italic>H</italic></sub>, and E-W striking <italic>σ</italic><sub><italic>3</italic></sub> = <italic>σ</italic><sub><italic>h</italic></sub>. The gypsum filling the E1 and E2 veins occurs in subvertical juxtaposed to sub-parallel crystals, sometimes with fibrous habit (Fig. <xref rid="MOESM1" ref-type="media">S2B</xref>, Supplementary information). Evidences of sub-horizontal growth are lacking, suggesting a deposition during a unique major event from upward raising brine-like fluids. Frequently arranged in radial patterns, up to 3–4 cm long gypsum crystals characterize the sub-circular conduits of the fossil hydrothermal chimneys (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1F</xref>). The E1 gypsum-filled veins form sub-parallel sets, with dip ≥65° and show a prevailing N-S strike (±45°, Fig. <xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">2A</xref>; Supplementary information). E2 veins form orthogonal sets or quasi-anastomosed networks and their orientation spans in a wide range of strike and dip values. In fact three main sets of veins may be recognized: N-S striking, sub-vertical to sub-horizontal veins, E-W striking sub-vertical veins, and NNE to NE-SW striking veins with dip of 70°–80° (Fig. <xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">2A</xref>; Supplementary information).<fig id="Fig2"><label>Figure 2</label><caption><p>(<bold>A</bold>) Density plot (2–8%; equal area Schmidt net, lower hemisphere) of poles to vein walls in the E1 and E2 alteration zones.

The theoretical distribution of vein intersections shows that E2 is characterized by a higher spatial dispersion and number of intersections than E1 (Fig. <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3A</xref>). This indicates that a concentrated flow along a preferred N-S striking pathway characterizes E1, whereas a pervasive flow occurs in E2. The occurrence of a less concentrated flow in E2 may be due to the higher fracture density and permeability of the E2 rock mass, according to the calculated values of <italic>F</italic><sub><italic>den</italic></sub> and <italic>F</italic><sub><italic>dil</italic></sub>. In addition, because in the last 27 ka the regional tectonic stress of Lipari has not changed<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref></sup>, the sub-parallel arrangement of the E1 veins indicates σ<sub>h</sub> = σ<sub>3</sub> < Δ<italic>P</italic> < σ<sub>H</sub> = σ<sub>2</sub>. In particular, the E1 veins are parallel to the local N-S striking σ<sub>2</sub> and orthogonal to the E-W striking σ<sub>3</sub>. Therefore, the formation of these veins is controlled by the normal stress field, which is that acting at regional scale. Minor left-lateral and right-lateral shears have been also recognized in the study area, but they affect the older, 267 to 150 ka rocks<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref></sup>. However, the E1 veins form sub-parallel sets and not en-echelon or Riedel-type arrangements, as expected for right-lateral and left-lateral shear zones.<fig id="Fig3"><label>Figure 3</label><caption><p>(<bold>A</bold>) Spatial distribution of the potential vein intersections in the E1 and E2 alteration zones (beta-plot; equal area Schmidt net, lower hemisphere).

Therefore, the fluid pressure is larger than the regional stress field.</p><p>The value of <italic>C</italic>, which is proportional to <italic>q</italic> and to the pressure gradient, is lower in E2 (Fig. <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3B</xref>) and this could reflect a decrease in the pressure gradient.

This low value of <italic>q</italic> in E2 may be explained in light of experimental and numerical models of solute transport in fracture networks<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref></sup>.

Therefore, we conclude that E2 has a volumetric flux lower than E1 because of the larger number of vein intersections and smaller vein size (Figs <xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">2B</xref> and <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3A</xref>).

This conclusion is supported by geochemical data<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref></sup>, which indicate the addition of a magmatic component during the E2 episode. In light of these data, the E1 alteration is related to a low <italic>P</italic><sub><italic>f</italic></sub>, shallow hydrothermal source possibly heated by a magmatic reservoir not directly connected to it. Since Δ<italic>P</italic><sub><italic>E2</italic></sub>/Δ<italic>P</italic><sub><italic>E1</italic></sub> = 4.28, the more recent E2 alteration is characterized by significant pressurization of a deeper, hydrothermal system (<italic>h</italic> = 4.6 ± 1.2 km) possibly connected to a magma reservoir.</p><p>The emplacement of sub-horizontal veins in E2 implies that an uplift due to the formation of sub-horizontal veins has occurred during the E2 hydrofracturing event. Based on the outcropping veins, we estimate this cumulative vertical opening by summing the apertures of the sub-horizontal veins. By selecting 27 vertically juxtaposed veins with dip ≤25°, we obtain a minimum value of ca. 0.62 m in E2.</p><p>As concerns the time scale for the sealing of the Lipari veins by gypsum/anhydrite filling, the available estimates of growth rate of these minerals along a fracture span from 0.03 to 315 mm/yr<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR30">30</xref></sup>, with an average value of 3 mm/yr. This large variation reflects the complexity of the growth process, which depends on the saturation of the solution, pH, temperature, fluid pressure, and applied stress. The average value of 3 mm/yr is of the same order of magnitude of the 1.3 mm/yr hydrothermal alteration rate estimated at Lipari<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref></sup>. Therefore, to estimate the time scale required for the sealing of the Lipari veins, we divide the aperture values of the E1 and E2 veins (Table <xref rid="Tab1" ref-type="table">1</xref>) by the growth rate of 3 mm/yr<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR30">30</xref></sup>. The obtained results are: 3 to 117 yr for the E1 veins (average 23 yr) and 0.7 to 50 yr for E2 (average 10 yr). These values, although affected by large uncertainties, suggest that the time scale for the sealing of the Lipari hydrothermal veins is of years and the time span for the sealing of the E1 veins is larger than that required for E2. As known, sealing processes reduce the rock permeability, increase the pressure of the hydrothermal fluids at depth, and may favor uplift episodes<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR31">31</xref></sup>. Accordingly, time scales for the sealing of the Lipari veins, and, possibly, for the local uplift, are comparable to those estimated for the uplift episodes observed at other active volcanoes, e.g. in 1982–1984 and 1400–1538 at Campi Flegrei (Italy)<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR32">32</xref></sup>, and in 1923–1985 at Yellowstone Caldera<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref></sup>.</p><p>The present-day Lipari gas emissions concentrate in the overstep zone between the two main N-S striking deformation belts affecting the hydrothermal area (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>). These overstep zones represent dynamically maintained interaction areas where active fracturing, re-opening of fluid pathway, and fluid discharge likely occur, even though self-sealing processes operate<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR28">28</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR29">29</xref></sup>.</p><p>Our analysis of the Lipari vein networks has implications for the monitoring strategies of hydrothermal systems and to better understand the deformation processes related to fluid upraising and pressurization. The pressurization of the Lipari hydrothermal system produced an unrest episode possibly associated with the emplacement of a passively degassing shallow magma reservoir. Similar unrests, including uplifts, are recorded, among others, at the active Campi Flegrei and Yellowstone calderas<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">33</xref></sup>. At Lipari, we provide for the first time the field-based evidence that the hydraulic conductance and thus the volumetric flux in a hydrothermal field decrease with the increase of the number of intersections of fluid-filled fractures. This may be caused by crack growth processes and/or formation of small cracks (low <italic>l</italic> and <italic>a</italic>) acting as bridges among the older and larger ones. An increase in the number of fracture intersections favors longer residence time of brine-like fluids, so promoting deposition and self-sealing processes<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">34</xref></sup> and an overall increase of the fluid pressure at depth. As a result, a decrease in the fluid discharge in active hydrothermal fields does not unequivocally indicate a depressurization event, but, on the contrary, could be a sign of pressurization at depth. In addition, as recorded at Lipari, the formation of horizontal veins may induce an uplift.</p><p>Our conclusions support the results from physical models of uplift associated to hydrothermal systems<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref></sup> and allow to explain the data collected before the 2006 phreatic eruptions at Poas volcano (Costa Rica)<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR36">36</xref></sup> and at Campi Flegrei between 1983 and 2003<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">37</xref></sup>. In detail, physical models<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref></sup> show that a low discharge of hydrothermal fluids associated to uplift reflects high pore pressures at depth related to reduction in permeability by self-sealing processes. At Poas volcano, phreatic eruptions occurred in 2006 and were not anticipated by significant changes in the concentration of sulfates in the crater lake between 1995 and 2005<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR36">36</xref></sup>, thus suggesting a pressurization of the hydrothermal system at depth before the eruption. At Campi Flegrei, the increase of CO<sub>2</sub>/H<sub>2</sub>O occurred during the four unrest episodes between 1983 and 2003 is delayed of hundred of days with respect to the beginning of the uplift and seismic phases<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">37</xref></sup>. This delay indicates that the early injection of CO<sub>2</sub> at depth pressurizes a sealed hydrothermal system and induces an uplift<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR36">36</xref></sup>; the later release of CO<sub>2</sub> to the surface occurs when the system increases its permeability because of the opening of fractures due to earthquakes. As a conclusion, low discharge of hydrothermal fluids may reflect pressurization processes and precede hydrothermal explosions like those occurred at Nisyros Island, Greece in 1871–1888, at Porkchop Geyser in Norris Geyser Basin, USA in 1989, and at Poás volcano, Costa Rica in 2006. Phreatic and hydrothermal explosions may thus interrupt cycles of self-sealing and vein network formation. The recurrence time of such cycles and of the unrest episodes may help for an evaluation of the hazard associated to hydrothermal/phreatic explosions and gas discharge. As a general conclusion, the long term monitoring of vein networks in volcanic areas can give useful information on the dynamics of hydrothermal systems and allow us to constrain the interpretation of the geochemical and geophysical signals.</p></sec><sec id="Sec5"><title>Methods</title><p>We conducted a field mapping of the two alteration zones and structural measurements of all the outcropping veins in the Lipari hydrothermal area. Measurements are taken in ten main sites, which include the E1 or E2 alterations (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>). We measured the fracture spacing <italic>s</italic> (m), the maximum vein aperture (thickness) <italic>a</italic> (m) and length <italic>l</italic> (m). In many cases, the vein thickness is constant along <italic>l</italic> and decreases at the vein tips. <italic>s</italic> is measured on profiles oriented perpendicularly to the local preferred strike of the vein network. Profiles of different orientation are selected in the case of veins with orthogonal strikes. <italic>a</italic> is measured on sections orthogonal to the vein walls. The measurement error is ±2° on vein strike and dip. The measurements of lengths (e.g., thickness and length of veins) are ±1 mm for a length scale < 40 cm and ±2 mm for a scale > 40 cm and <180 cm; for a length scale > 180 cm, the error is ±4 mm. The parameters of the statistical distribution of the E1 veins are: Mean Principal Orientation = 84/269; Mean Resultant direction = 82–261; Mean Resultant length = 0.74 (Variance = 0.26).
