Evidence of a shallow magma reservoir below Los Humeros volcanic complex: Insights from the geochemistry of silicate melt inclusions

A ponding reservoir located within an interval betwwen 5 and 13 km at depth is evidenced by silicate melt inclusions entrapment pressures. This ponding depth's interval is in agreement with previous studies by thermal modeling, resistivity and geobaromatry done in the same area. The geothermal activity of Los Humeros volcanic area is expected to be the result of the cooling of the magma in the shallow chamber. A large geochemical variability, in less than 1 Ma, is demonstrated by trace and volatile element compositions evolution through time. Subduction contamination is expected into the mantle source with the highest contamination event at 69 Ka, during the second caldera event of Los Humeros volcanic complex.
