The Azores archipelago, located in a contact zone of three tectonic plates, displays a rich and diversified volcanic landscape with basaltic lava flows. There are 271 lava tubes and caves spread all over the archipelago (48% in the Pico Island and 26% in Terceira Island). São Miguel is t...

We present the first neon data, as well as new helium data, on Terceira Island (Azores archipelago, Portugal). Clear 20Ne and 21Ne excesses compared to air are observed ( 20Ne/ 22Ne > 11.2) and moreover, the samples show a more primitive 21Ne/ 22Ne ratio than MORB, confirming that...

The ochreous speleothems examined here were obtained from a lava tube on Terceira Island (Azores) and show compact mineralized areas intermixed with zones in which bacterial structures are evident. Bacterial layers of filament-like structures are common throughout the deposits but differences in ...

Ten audio-magnetotelluric soundings have been carried out along a profile crossing the Serra do Cume caldera in the eastern part of the Terceira Island (Azores). The main objectives of this investigation were to detect geoelectrical features related with tectonic structures and to characterize ...
