Volcano Geomorphology

Beschreibung

This book presents a summary of volcano geomorphology. It describes in detail volcanic landforms and related geomorphic processes.It provides a review of the recent outcomes of new research topics in geomorphology and physical volcanology, e.g., an improved classification and understanding of volcanic landforms, either monogenetic or polygenetic. Such knowledge enables the understanding of processes and rates of growth and destruction of volcanic landforms and landscapes. It helps to get an overview of how to study volcanic landforms and processes in providing an updated review of a wide array of classical and modern methods.

“The structure of the book makes it easy for the reader to follow the processes leading to the formation of volcanic landforms. ... Moreover, the numerous diagrams, charts and tables effectively help the reader to understand the specialized content. All the chapters contain stunning images of the described landforms and processes, which bring the processes to life. ... the book is a suitable tool for under- and postgraduate teaching ... .” (Francesco Mazzarini, Bulletin of Volcanology, Vol. 88 (2), 2026)
