Summary: This study provides a detailed review of the Xalapa Monogenetic Volcanic Field (XMVF) in terms of its geology and geomorphology. It presents a renewed inventory of volcanoes, identifies new volcanoes, and provides geological mapping and morphometric analyses. The study also includes new radiocarbon dating and outlines the boundaries of the XMVF. The results suggest that the most likely hazards in the XMVF are lava flows, explosive eruptions, and phreatomagmatic activity, which could mainly affect the northern and southern flanks of Cofre de Perote volcano and the central XMVF sectors.

Summary: Improvements in DEM resolution have facilitated research on small to moderate landforms. This study explores the accuracy and potential application of global free SRTM, AW3D30, and ASTER GDEM in monogenetic volcanic fields. The results show that AW3D30 has higher accuracy than SRTM, but is still affected by slope angle and morphological features.

Summary: This study conducts a comprehensive analysis of gravity, magnetic, and land surface temperature data to investigate the geothermal potential of the Lunayyir volcanic field in western Saudi Arabia. The gravity data reveal a series of gravity anomalies that indicate the presence of subsurface geologic structures similar to other geothermal areas. The magnetic data show a relatively low magnetic susceptibility, consistent with the presence of volcanic rocks and shallow heat sources. Furthermore, satellite data indicates higher land surface temperature in 2007, suggesting volcanic activities in the subsurface. These findings highlight the importance of combining different geophysical datasets for a better understanding of underground geology and geothermal systems.

Summary: Distributed-style volcanism generates clusters of small volcanoes by isolated magma bodies ascending from broad magma sources, helping to infer unobserved geological phenomena. The Tharsis Volcanic Province on Mars covers approximately one-quarter of the planet's surface and contains numerous small volcanoes formed through distributed volcanism.

Summary: This study investigates the Samana monogenetic volcanic field in Colombia, identifying it as a cluster of at least seven volcanoes with similar composition and potentially active. The results reveal a complex magma evolution compared to monogenetic volcanic fields of more mafic compositions in other tectonic settings.

Summary: The Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL) is an African-only active alkaline intraplate feature that is important for understanding Cenozoic tectonic processes and volcanic activity. Using high-resolution airborne magnetic data, this study reveals geophysical signatures of the southern CVL and proposes a new interpretation for the geological structures in the area.

Summary: By combining ground, airborne, and satellite data, the researchers modeled the lithospheric field over Xinjiang and Tibet using the 3D Surface Spline (3DSS), Regional Spherical Harmonic Analysis (RSHA), and CHAOS-7.11 models. The 3DSS model provided a more detailed description of the lithospheric field compared to other models, particularly in Southern Xinjiang and Tibet. Additionally, there was a good consistency between the heat flow distribution and the lithospheric field in southern Tibet. The study received a score of 8 out of 10.

Summary: This study reports the CO2 diffuse emissions in the Michoacán and Guanajuato monogenetic volcanic field in Mexico for the first time. The temporal evolution and spatial structures of the emissions are analyzed based on data from 2006 to 2020. The study highlights the importance of continuous monitoring of diffuse emissions in detecting changes in volcanic activity and anomalous emissions, and emphasizes the need to prioritize this monitoring for comprehensive volcano surveillance.

Summary: This study presents a novel high-resolution aeromagnetic dataset, revealing the inner structure and deformation pattern of the Mt. Melbourne Volcanic Field in Antarctica. The results show that the volcanic activity in the entire field occurred between 2.58 and 0.78 Ma, with widespread reversely-polarized volcanics and intruded normally-polarized dikes and radial lava flows. These findings contribute to a better understanding of volcanic activity in Northern Victoria Land, Antarctica.

Summary: Understanding individuals' evacuation decisions is crucial for emergency policy making and long-term social reconstruction. This study identifies five socio-psychological factors that contribute to individuals' evacuation intention under natural hazard conditions, including attitude towards advice, risk perception, social norm, perceived behavioral control, and preparedness intention. Based on these factors, a conceptual framework is proposed and implemented using a structural equation modeling approach. The results support the proposed framework and provide insights into the interrelationships between the predictive factors.

Summary: Accurate classification of terrestrial and non-terrestrial volcanic landforms requires a robust suite of morphometric parameters. This study analyzed different types of volcanic landforms using high-resolution datasets to establish a set of dimensionless morphometric parameters for remote identification. The technique used in this study can be applied to other landform studies.

Summary: Phreatomagmatism, caused by the interaction of erupting magma and groundwater, is a common phenomenon in monogenetic volcanism. This study found that pressure variations inside the eruptive conduit play a major role in controlling phreatomagmatism, rather than the lithological and hydraulic properties of aquifers.
