Previous investigations on discharges from geothermal wells revealed that hydrogen isotope partitioning between H2, CH4 and H2O can reflect aquifer reservoir temperature at depth. However, almost nothing is known about the isotopic equilibration behavior between H2, CH4 and H2O in natural gases ascending through the crust. We seek to analyze the bulk isotopic composition of H2, CH4 and H2O and the clumped isotopic composition of CH4 in volcanic-hydrothermal emissions from Nisyros volcano, Greece, to identify the processes exerting control on the apparent H2-H2O and CH4-H2O hydrogen isotope fractionations and to determine to what extent the bulk and clumped isotopic compositions of hydrothermal CH4 and H2 are reset during their ascent from the reservoir to the venting surface. Such information is required to be able to assess the origin of methane by means of hydrogen and clumped isotope data and to determine the state of volcanic activity by monitoring variations in the chemical and isotopic composition of the gases discharging at the surface.

先前对地热井排放的研究表明，H2，CH4和H2O之间的氢同位素分配可以反映深度的含水层储层温度。然而，关于天然气通过地壳上升的H2，CH4和H2O之间的同位素平衡行为几乎一无所知。我们试图分析H2，CH4和H2O的大量同位素组成，以及CH4在希腊Nisyros火山的火山流热排放中的CH4集成的同位素组成，以确定对明显的H2-H2O和CH4-H2O和CH4-H2O层次的组合的过程，以确定对明显的H2O和CH4-H2O层次的组合的控制。水热CH4和H2在从储层到通风表的上升期间重置。必须通过氢和集结的同位素数据来评估甲烷的起源，并通过监测表面排放气体排放的化学和同位素组成的变化来评估甲烷的起源。
