This book aims to give an overview on the present state of volcanic lake research, covering topics such as volcano monitoring, the chemistry, dynamics and degassing of acidic crater lakes, mass-energy-chemical-isotopic balance approaches, limnology and degassing of Nyos-type lakes, the impact on the human and natural environment, the eruption products and impact of crater lake breaching eruptions, numerical modeling of gas clouds and lake eruptions, thermo-hydro-mechanical and deformation modeling, CO2 fluxes from lakes, volcanic lakes observed from space, biological activity, continuous...

This is an updated edition of the book by the same author: "Plio-Quaternary volcanism in Italy - Petrology, geochemistry, geodynamics," published in 2005 by Springer. This edition has the same structure as the previous publication, with a general introduction; various chapters dedicated to different volcanic provinces in Italy; and a final chapter on the relationships between magmatism and geodynamics. It includes information that has become available in the last ten years, and new chapters have been added offering detailed discussions of the Oligo-Miocene orogenic volcanism on Sardinia and...

Recent decades have seen a number of volcanic crises and whilst the discipline of volcanology has made significant progress, the knowledge gained from volcanic crises that seeks to establish how volcanological sciences and crises management come together has not been widely published.Consequently this book brings together authors from all over the globe that work with volcanoes, ranging from observatory volcanologists, disaster practitioners, government officials, and NGO and government practitioners to reflect on three key aspects of volcanic crises. First, the unique and wide-ranging nature...
