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.

地热威尔斯井排放物的研究表明，氢同位素在H2、CH 4和H2O之间的分配可以反映深层含水层的温度。然而，几乎没有什么是已知的天然气上升通过地壳之间的H2，CH 4和H2O的同位素平衡行为。我们试图分析H2，CH 4和H2O的整体同位素组成以及希腊Nisyros火山火山热液排放物中CH 4的聚集同位素组成，确定对表观H_2-H_2O和CH_4-的控制过程，H2O氢同位素分馏，并确定热液CH 4和H2的整体和聚集同位素组成在多大程度上被重置，将储液器连接到通风表面。需要有这种资料，才能通过氢和成团同位素数据评估甲烷的来源，并通过监测地表排放气体的化学和同位素组成的变化来确定火山活动的状况。
