“Volcanic and Igneous Plumbing Systems: Exploring Magma Transport, Storage, and Evolution in the Earth’s Crust” comprehensively integrates findings from multiple fields within geoscience to thoroughly investigate the volcanics and Igneous Plumbing Systems (VIPS).”
VIPS encompass a complex network of features responsible for the transport and storage of magma within the Earth’s crust. These features include dykes, sills and larger magma bodies that form the pathway and supply system of magma beneath active volcanoes. Blending fundamental principles with cutting-edge research and illustrative visuals, this distinctive resource offers a comprehensive perspective on every covered subject. This encompasses aspects such as magma transport, magma chambers, tectonics, and volcanism.
Encompassing a range of methodologies for examining these subjects, this book provides Earth Science researchers and academics, including those in geophysics, volcanology, and igneous petrology, with the necessary insights to effectively integrate this knowledge into their respective fields.
This resource offers a comprehensible and comprehensive survey of ongoing research in both of volcanic and igneous plumbing systems. It incorporates vibrant full-color illustrations to enhance clarity and includes essential foundational details for optimal comprehension. Each chapter also showcases a field example derived from top-tier research, complete with photographs and maps, enriching the learning experience.
