This book is a substantially updated, revised and extended version
of the book Volcanic Successions, published by Cas and Wright back
in 1987. Divided into six major parts, it offers comprehensive
information on magma properties; fragmentation processes; subaerial
and subaqueous lava types and field textures; sub-volcanic
intrusions; explosive or pyroclastic eruptions and deposits;
surface sedimentary processes; hydrothermal alteration and
lithification, and effects on volcanic rock textures; terminology
and approaches to describing and mapping volcanic rocks and
terrains; geology of volcanoes and facies models; volcanism and
tectonic setting; and to conclude, volcanic-hosted resources. It is
a highly up-to-date text, presenting a coherent flow of topics,
together with excellent visual material to illustrate key points
and deposit features. The new authorship team consists of Ray Cas,
Guido Giordano and John Wright, all of whom have extensive
experience across the complete spectrum of volcanological processes
and deposit types discussed in this exciting new book. The authors
approach the diversity of products in volcanic terrains as facies,
and use facies analysis and interpretation as a means of
constructing facies models for different volcanic settings and
their resources. ÂThe book is intended as a textbook and research
reference book for senior undergraduate and graduate students,
researchers and professionals alike.
