To quantify the interactions between hydrothermal and magmatic systems in dormant and active phases in order to forecast the role fluids play in explosive caldera eruptions. The main objectives are to determine the controls on permeability pathways and fluid flow within calderas, identify the role the hydrothermal system plays in magmatic outgassing, and to assess hydrothermal system response to periods of intrusion.
