Opis

A comprehensive guide for students and researchers to the physical processes inside volcanoes that control eruption frequency, duration, and size.

Recenzje

'Overall, Volcanotectonics is a book that successfully puts together multiple techniques, datasets, theoretical framework, and practical exercises of various magmatic processes for a valuable volcanic hazard assessment. Critical thinking is encouraged through the book by reasoning about the complexity of volcanic systems and whether we are ready or not to successfully forecast eruptions.' Martha Gabriela Gómez-Vasconcelos, Bulletin of Volcanology
