Magmatism Course
Gain mastery over magmatism processes from initial mantle melting through to volcanic eruptions. The course connects magma transport mechanisms, rock textures, and geochemical signatures to assessments of volcanic risks, geothermal energy potential, mineral deposits, and tectonic contexts. Perfect for geography and geology experts dealing with modern or historical volcanic arcs, offering hands-on skills for professional applications in hazard evaluation and resource exploration.

What will I learn?
This course provides a practical overview of magma generation, movement, storage, and solidification in arc environments. Participants will study essential 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 detailed cross-sections, and apply this knowledge to evaluate volcanic hazards, mineral resources, and produce clear technical reports.
