Fundamentals of Physical Volcanology is a comprehensive overview of
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.
This book explains in accessible terms how different areas of
science have been combined to reach our current level of knowledge
of volcanic systems. It includes an introduction to eruption types,
an outline of the development of physical volcanology, a
comprehensive overview of subsurface processes, eruption
mechanisms, the nature of volcanic eruptions and their products,
and a review of how volcanoes affect the environment.
Fundamentals of Physical Volcanology is essential reading for
undergraduate students in earth science.
