What will I learn?
This focused Volcanology Course builds practical skills for analysing active volcanoes, covering target selection, tectonic settings, magma generation, rock types, and geochemistry. You will learn to connect magma properties to eruption styles, utilise seismic, gas, deformation, and remote sensing data, and prepare hazard scenarios and reports drawing from reliable global observatory sources.
