Magmatism Course
Gain mastery over arc magmatism processes from mantle melting through to eruption. The course connects magma transport mechanisms, rock textures, and geochemical signatures to assessments of volcanic risks, mineral resources, and tectonic contexts, making it perfect for geologists and geographers dealing with modern or ancient volcanic arcs.

What will I learn?
This course provides a practical overview of magma generation, movement, storage, and solidification in arc environments. Participants will explore key processes including mantle melting, magma differentiation, thermodynamics, dike and sill emplacement, magma chamber development, and rock textures. Learners will combine field observations, petrologic analysis, and geochemical data to create comprehensive cross-sections, applying these insights to volcanic hazards, resource evaluation, and technical reporting.
