Volcanology W/Lab

Overview of the geological, chemical, and physical processes that generate volcanoes and the implications of volcanism and what they tell us about Earth's internal processes; properties, generation, and evolution of magmas and magma chambers; eruptive mechanisms; climate effects; and volcanic hazards, including modern monitoring techniques and mitigation. Labs include case studies of classic volcanic eruptions, as well as current activity, including the 2018 eruption of Kilauea.
