Magmatism Course
Gain mastery over magmatism processes from mantle melting through to volcanic eruptions. The course connects magma transport mechanisms, rock textures, and geochemical signatures to assessments of volcanic risks, mineral resources, and tectonic contexts, making it perfect for geography and geology experts dealing with modern or historical arc systems in professional settings.

What will I learn?
This course provides a practical overview of magma generation, movement, storage, and solidification in arc environments. Participants will explore key processes including mantle melting, 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, applying these skills to volcanic hazards, resource evaluation, and clear technical reports.
Elevify advantages
