Volcanoes of the Earth
E&ES108 SP
Active volcanoes are very complex natural systems. This course will bring basic concepts from geology, chemistry and physics to bear on the questions of why volcanoes occur and behave the way they do. In the process,
we will examine some of their many
influences on human affairs although emphasis is on what makes these systems tick and how we know about them.
