Magmatism Course
Gain mastery over magmatism processes from mantle melting to volcanic eruptions. The course connects magma transport, rock textures, and geochemistry to assessing volcanic risks, mineral resources, and tectonic contexts, making it perfect for geography and geology experts dealing with active or ancient volcanic arcs in professional settings.

What will I learn?
This Magmatism Course provides a practical overview of magma generation, movement, storage, and solidification in arc environments. You will explore key processes like mantle melting, differentiation, thermodynamics, dike and sill emplacement, magma chamber development, and rock textures. Learn to combine field observations, petrologic analysis, and geochemical data to create clear cross-sections, and apply this knowledge to volcanic hazards, resource evaluation, and technical reporting.
