Fundamentals of Physical Volcanology

Inhalt

The world's leading student text on physical volcanology offers an unmatched introduction to the field

In the revised second edition of Fundamentals of Physical Volcanology, the authors provide a comprehensive introduction to the processes that control when and how volcanoes erupt. Understanding these processes involves bringing together ideas from a number of disciplines, including branches of geology, such as petrology and geochemistry, and aspects of physics, such as fluid dynamics and thermodynamics.

With the help of new and improved illustrations, this new edition explains eruption types and mechanisms, subsurface processes, volcanic eruption products, and how volcanoes affect their surrounding environment.

Readers will also find:

  • Quantitative treatment of physical volcanological processes
  • A review of the historical development of volcanology
  • Examples of current research trends and topics in volcanology

Perfect for undergraduate earth sciences students and graduate students starting research programs in volcanology, Fundamentals of Physical Volcanology will also earn a place in the libraries of researchers in related fields seeking an accessible introduction to the principles of physical volcanology.
