Modeling volcanic processes : the physics and mathematics of volcanism / / edited by Sarah A. Fagents, Tracy K.P. Gregg, Rosaly M.C. Lopes.
"Understanding the physical behavior of volcanoes is key to mitigating the hazards active volcanoes pose to the ever-increasing populations living nearby. The processes involved in volcanic eruptions are driven by a series of interlinked physical phenomena, and to fully understand these, volcan...
