- Volcanotectonics : understanding the structure, deformation, and dynamics of volcanoes / by Gudmundsson, Agust,author.(CARDINAL)865673;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Volcanotectonic structures -- Volcanotectonic deformation -- Volcanotectonic earthquakes -- Volcanotectonic processes -- Formation and dynamics of magma chambers and reservoirs -- Magma movement through the crust : dike paths -- Dynamics of volcanic eruptions -- Formation and evolution of volcanoes -- Understanding unrest and forecasting eruptions -- Appendices."Volcanotectonics is comparatively new scientific field that combines various methods and techniques of geology and physics so as to understand the structure and behaviour of polygenetic (central) volcanoes and the conditions for their eruptions. More specifically, volcanotectonics uses the techniques and methods of tectonics, structural geology, geophysics, and physics to collect data on volcanoes, as well as to analyse and interpret the physical processes that generate those data. The focus is on processes responsible for periods of volcanic unrest, caldera collapses, and eruptions"--- Subjects: Volcanic activity prediction.; Volcanic hazard analysis.; Volcanic eruptions.; Volcanoes.; Geology, Structural.; Morphotectonics.;
