Updates in volcanology – A comprehensive approach to volcanological problems / Обновления в вулканологии – комплексный подход к вулканологическим проблемам

In Advances in Volcanology, scientists from highly active volcanic countries, such as Japan, Italy, and New Zealand, as well as others from Germany, Portugal, and Russia, debate less commonplace themes. Topics from classic field volcanology, including practical problems with volcanic stratigraphy in oil exploitation, to the most modern techniques related to tomographic studies are discussed. The question about the role of hydro-volcanism as a modifying factor versus juvenile gases as the primary engine of volcanism is discussed in full. The complex geodynamic meaning of the large basaltic province versus large alkaline provinces is analyzed by means of large scale examples, using geochemical, tectonic, and stratigraphic demonstrations. Tectonic modification related to collisional-extensional volcanic environments, which puzzle structural geologists, is also considered. This is germane to a modern conception of volcanology as a typical multi-scale, multi-method discipline. <...>
