A growing body of geoscience education research suggests that many students in the American K-12 system do not fully understand key geoscience concepts. Moreover, early misunderstandings appear to persist even at the introductory undergraduate level. This thesis focuses on exploring the understanding of volcanic systems among American undergraduates via a new assessment instrument, the Volcanic...

In this chapter, we describe basic features and give some current applications of the most popular detection technology used in muography: scintillator-based muon detectors, widely not only volcanology, where their properties find natural applications, but also geosciences, archeology, non-invasive industrial control, civil engineering, homeland security, nuclear non-proliferation more. As will...

The best preserved and most complete lava flow sequences of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) in Morocco are exposed High Atlas can reach up to 300 m thickness. Four distinct formations, emplaced subaerial environments, classically recognized: Lower, Intermediate, Upper Recurrent formations. These formations separated by paleosoils sedimentary (mudstones, siltstones, sandstones, lim...

Volcano monitoring in Peru is carried out by the Instituto Geofísico del Perú (IGP), through its Centro Vulcanológico Nacional (CENVUL). CENVUL monitors 12 of 16 volcanoes considered as historically active and potentially southern issues periodic bulletins about volcanic activity and, depending on alert-level each volcano, also alerts warnings unrest, ash dispersion, occurrence lahars. The info...

Abstract This review summarizes what the volcanology community has learned thus far from studying deposits of pyroclastic currents (PCs) 1980 eruption sequence at Mount St. Helens. The includes mass flow events during May 18 eruption, including lateral blast, afternoon column collapse and boil-over PC activity, some aspects debris avalanche. We also include a summary PCs generated in smaller er...

Introduction: Seven successful Soviet Venus landers reported compositional information on Venus surface rocks [1-3], and Magellan SAR discovered a wide range of familiar Earthlike volcanic landforms amidst a partially disimilar tectonic landscape. The landers produced compositional data and surface imagery consistent with orbital views indicating or suggesting volcanic landing sites associated ...
