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

What will I learn?
This course provides a practical overview of magma generation, movement, storage, and solidification in volcanic arc environments. Participants will explore processes like mantle melting, magma differentiation, thermodynamics, dike and sill emplacement, magma chamber development, and rock textures. Learners integrate field observations, petrologic analysis, and geochemical data to construct detailed cross-sections, applying knowledge to volcanic hazards, resource evaluation, and technical reporting.
