Volcanology Course
This course equips geography and geology experts with vital tools to understand volcanic processes from magma formation through to risk evaluation. Participants learn to examine rocks, analyze monitoring information, develop eruption forecasts, and effectively share hazard details with local communities for better preparedness and safety.

What will I learn?
Gain essential skills in volcanology to evaluate active volcanoes, covering target selection, tectonic contexts, magma origins, rock classifications, and geochemical analysis. Connect magma traits to eruption behaviors, interpret seismic, gas, deformation, and remote sensing data, and create precise hazard assessments and reports from reliable international observatory data.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Volcano selection and tectonic setting: quickly assess high-risk volcanic structures.
- Rock types and magma chemistry: identify rocks from basalts to rhyolites for rapid source analysis.
- Magma systems and monitoring: interpret signals from seismic activity, gas emissions, and ground deformation.
- Eruptive styles and deposits: connect magma features to lava flows, pyroclastic flows, ash falls, and mudflows.
- Hazard scenarios and reporting: create reliable predictions and produce practical communication reports.
