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