Volcanoes are geological powerhouses and an important geohazard. By studying their geological products and physical behaviour, we can not only learn about the engine room of Earth's interior but also how to protect populations threatened by them. To learn how volcano research can be used in this way, this module will look at a variety of volcano-related subjects, ranging from volcano monitoring and volcanic risk reduction, through physical, social and geological volcanology, to how volcanology interacts with climatology, petrology and natural resources. You will participate in lectures, seminars, lab sessions and field-based activities to teach you about the state-of-the-art theory of volcano science and their practical applications.

Pre-requisites for this module are CSM2190 Geophysics and CSM2312 Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology. There are no co-requisites. This module may be suitable for non-specialist students or interdisciplinary pathways.
