**About the Editors**

#### **Renato Somma**

Renato Somma is a Geologist and has a PhD in Geophysics and Volcanology from the University of Naples Italy. A researcher at the Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, he has extensive experience in the development of original interpretative geochemical models for several Italian volcanic districts, modelling of geothermal reservoirs, development of new concepts for the interpretation of ground deformation and seismicity at collapse calderas, stress–strain modelling and studies of fault interaction and volcano-tectonic, geo-mechanics and induced seismicity by fluid injection, medical geology and environmental pollution. He is currently involved in researches related to resilience and volcanic risk mitigation and innovation of insurance services in catastrophe risk management as associate researcher at CNR-IRISS and research for the localization and characterization of submarine fumarolic and hydrothermal emissions as associate researcher at CNR-ISMAR. He is principal investigator of relevant national and international projects, he has coordinated wide high-quality research groups. He is Associate Editor for Energies, Challenges, Sensors by MDPI and Frontiers for Young Minds. By Frontiers. He is the author of more than 60 publications ISI and 150 presentations at meetings.

#### **Daniela Blessent**

Daniela Blessent is an Environmental Engineer from the Politecnico di Torino (Italy). She obtained a PhD in Earth Sciences at Laval University (Quebec, Canada) in numerical modeling in Hydrogeology. She worked as a lecturer at Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal between 2010 and 2012. ´ Since 2013, she has been working as professor at the University of Medellin, in the Environmental Engineering program and was associate editor of the Hydrogeology Journal between 2016 and 2018. She received the "Geothermal Special Achievement Award" from Geothermal Rising (United States Geothermal Association) in 2020, which recognizes special or outstanding achievements in any aspect of the development of geothermal energy and related areas. She is the leader of the project "Geothermal Resources for Energy Transition" supported by the international geosciences program, IGCP, of UNESCO, with 18 participating countries, and since January 2020, she has been the president of the Colombian Geothermal Association.
