A Comprehensive Study of Volcanic Phenomena

Overview & Synopsis

This book is a new addition to research works exploring the diversity of volcanic geology. This book has collected works that approach volcanic phenomena via traditional methods and highlights the significance of volcanic geology in correct and realistic volcanic reconstruction through geological mapping and material science. This important and commonly less respected area of volcanology provides the fundamental basis for understanding volcanoes. The book has attracted works that show advanced technologies and their usage in volcano science. Research subjects such as hidden volcanoes deep beneath the sea surface are common targets of complex technology-aided mapping. Geophysical methods that use approaches to locate potential eruptible magma or magmatic fluids are among the most dynamically evolving methods. As one of the ultimate goals of volcanology is to provide geology-based models that identify volcanic hazards to offer science-based approaches for volcanic hazard mitigation, this book also contains some ideas to show eruption scenarios and historical record–based approaches to understand volcanoes and how to live with them. Overall, this book is a nice collection representing the broad and colorful nature of volcano science.
