Abstract

Geological-structural and hydrogeological features available in the Kamchatka region were used to identify three leading types of volcanogenic hydrogeological structures: Quaternary volcanogenic basins (VBs), Neogene volcanogenic adbasins (VABs), and artesian volcanogenic basins (AVBs). The first type subdivides into six subtypes by morphogenetic features. It is these subtypes that control the conditions under which the VBs are generated. All these are characterized from the standpoint of regional hydrogeology.
