What will I learn?
Gain hands-on skills in Volcanology to study active volcanoes, covering target selection, tectonic contexts, magma origins, rock classifications, and geochemistry. Connect magma traits to eruption types, analyse seismic, gas, deformation, and remote sensing data, and create precise hazard assessments and reports from reliable global observatory data.
