VOLCANOLOGY AND GEOLOGY OF VOLCANIC AREAS
(objectives)
THE COURSE PROVIDES TO THE STUDENTS THE BASIC CONCEPTS USEFUL FOR UNDERSTAND THE ERUPTIVE PROCESSES AND THE DEPOSITIONAL MECHANISM OF THE EFFUSIVE AND EXPLOSIVE DEPOSITS, STARTING FROM THE ANALYSES, CHARACTERIZATION AND INTERPRETATION OF THE DEPOSITS . MAIN TOPIC OF THE COURSE IS TO JOINT THE FIELD OBSERVATION TO THE THEORETICAL CONCEPTS. FOR THE COMPREHENSION OF THE ARGUMENTS DEALT DURING THE COURSE IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE CONCEPTS OF SEDIMENTOLOGY, PETROGRAPHY AND GEOCHEMISTRY.
