Abstract(s)

The scientific interest for the thermal manifestations of S. Miguel dates back to Fouqué, whose results were published in 1873, while further contributions were given by Lepierre (1912) and Herculano de Carvalho (1953). In 1969 Quintino in his study on the hydrothermal system of Furnas stressed the importance of the chemical analyses of the fumaroles and the thermal waters as an investigation tool in determining the characteristics of subsoil fluid circulation. Apart from the more important researches carried out by the S. Miguel geothermal project, this paper is aimed to give a short up-to-date contribution on the basis of some chemical data obtained by surface sampling of fumaroles and thermal springs from Furnas and Agua de Pau areas.
