"A full understanding of the complex interaction between volcanic activity and Quaternary environmental change requires the collaboration of both volcanologists and Quaternary scientists. Volcanoes in the Quaternary brings together papers from workers in both fields and reflects…
This volume offers an overview of the processes that control when and how volcanoes erupt. It explains how different areas of science have been combined to reach our knowledge of volcanic systems. It includes an introduction to eruption types, an outline of the development of ph…
