Understanding the physical behavior of volcanoes is essential in mitigating the hazards they pose to growing populations living nearby. Volcanic eruptions are driven by a complex interplay of physical phenomena, requiring volcanologists to employ various physics subdisciplines to fully comprehend them. This book offers a comprehensive and advanced resource examining the physics of volcanic behavior and reviewing the state-of-the-art in modeling volcanic processes.

The book begins by introducing simple modeling formulations and progresses to present cutting-edge research illustrated by case studies. Individual chapters cover subsurface magmatic processes, eruption in various environments, and the application of modeling to understanding other volcanic planets in our Solar System.

Designed as an accessible and practical text for graduate students of physical volcanology, this book also serves as an invaluable resource for researchers and professionals in volcanology, geophysics, geochemistry, petrology, and natural hazards. By delving into the intricate physical mechanisms behind volcanic eruptions, this book contributes to our understanding of these hazardous phenomena and helps develop strategies for preparedness and response.
