Volcanoes have always fascinated and terrified human beings, and although knowledge is increasing all the time, significant challenges remain in understanding and predicting the behaviour of these most dramatic of natural phenomena. This book draws on the research of expert volcanologists around the world to provide the reader with the latest knowledge on the subject. In the first part of the book, new advances in the understanding of volcanic systems are presented. Topics include an account of the role of andesitic volcanism in understanding late Mesozoic tectonic events in the Russian Far East, and an overview of volcanic natural resources and protection issues. In the second part, a comprehensive approach to volcanological problems is presented. Topics include new research on plume magmatism in East Antarctica, the concept of the hotspot examined through the volcanic complex of French Polynesia, the geodynamics of the Mediterranean and quaternary volcanism in Northeast Japan. This book is distinguished by the wide-ranging expertise of its contributors, who draw on a wealth of experience acquired in research contexts worldwide to provide the book with truly global reach. It will appeal to student, graduate and advanced readers seeking the latest knowledge and ideas in this important area.
