Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student has acquired the ability to carry out a geological study of a volcanic area in order to interpret the processes that control where and how volcanic eruptions occur. Multidisciplinary skills are provided that bring together aspects of geology, sedimentology and volcano-tectonics, petrology and physics (i.e. fluid dynamics) in order to understand how to define the eruptive dynamics, transport and emplacement mechanisms of volcanogenic flows, and the processes of erosion and post-depositional alteration of volcanic deposits, based on the study of volcanic successions and morphologies and volcano-tectonic collapses. In particular, the student is able to obtain the main eruptive parameters and define the temporal development of eruptive activity in recent and/or ancient volcanoes and the recurrence of eruptions for the purposes of volcanic hazard assessment.
