The generation temperatures of gas-water fluids released from mud volcanoes in different provinces of the Caucasian region have been constrained using Mg/Li (T_Mg/Li) chemical geothermometry. Mud volcanic fluids in the Taman Peninsula (Kerch-Taman mud volcanic province) were generated at temperatures (T_Mg/Li) from 41°C to 137°C. The depths of the respective mud reservoirs estimated from T_Mg/Li values and local geothermal gradient are in a range of 1.0 to 3.4 km which spans the Maykop Formation of marine shale. For the South Caspian province, the T_Mg/Li values of waters vary from 18°C to 137°C and the respective root depths H_Mg/Li of mud volcanoes range from ∼ 0.85 to 6.5 km. The obtained T_Mg/Li values for the analyzed mud volcanic waters from Caucasian provinces are in positive correlation with HCO₃⁻ contents and water oxygen isotope compositions (\({\delta ^{18}}{{\text{O}}_{{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}}}\) and \(\Delta {\delta ^{18}}{{\text{O}}_{{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}}}\)) and in high negative correlation with Cl⁻. The increase of T_Mg/Li toward the Greater Caucasus Range, as well as the lateral T_Mg/Li patterns in the Taman and South Caspian mud volcanic provinces, support the idea that mud volcanic fluids generate at temperatures increasing progressively toward the Alpine orogenic belt.

使用Mg / Li（T _{Mg / Li}）化学地热法限制了高加索地区不同省份的泥火山释放的气水流体的生成温度。塔曼半岛（刻赤塔曼泥火山省）的泥火山流体是在41°C至137°C的温度（T _{Mg / Li}）下产生的。根据T _{Mg / Li}值和局部地热梯度估算的各个泥浆储层深度在1.0至3.4 km范围内，横跨海相页岩的Maykop组。对于南里海省，水的T _{Mg / Li}值从18°C到137°C不等，相应的根深H _{Mg / Li}泥火山的范围从约0.85到6.5公里。将所得到的Ť_镁/锂从高加索省所分析的泥火山水域值与HCO正相关₃ ^-含量和水中的氧同位素组成（\（{\增量^ {18}} {{\文本{ö}} _ {{{\ text {H}} _ {\ text {2}}} {\ text {O}}}} \）和\（\ Delta {\ delta ^ {18}} {{\ text {O}} _ {{{\文本{H}} _ {\文本{2}}} {\文本{ö}}}} \）），并在有Cl高度负相关^-。的增加Ť_镁/锂朝向大高加索范围，以及横向Ť_镁/锂 塔曼和里海南部泥火山地区的地质模式支持了这样一种观点，即泥火山流体的产生温度是朝着高山造山带逐渐增加的。
