Franco Tassi

Franco Tassi put many unstudied volcanoes -with or without lakes- on the map with his complete fluid geochemical approach and style. Tassi is the most “limnological” and “wet” among the gas geochemists. Besides being a key CVL SC member, Tassi is the Leader of our “Sister Commission” IAVCEI-CCVG (2013-present). Tassi is tutor of many Italian, Chilean and Argentinan youngsters, creating a steady flux from below of great scientists to assure the future of both CVL and CCVG. Tassi is co-author of the first Monograph on Volcanic Lakes (Springer, 2015), of the Copahue volume, and, together with R. Mora-Amador and O. Vaselli of the Poás volume (2019) of the Springer IAVCEI Series Active volcanoes of the world.
