Basalt geochemistry can be used as a diagnostic indicator for determining the tectonic
setting of origin, because specific plate tectonic settings often impart distinctive geochemical …

In this chapter we discuss our InSAR observations of Aleutian volcanoes that have been
active during historical time, starting with Kiska Volcano in the west and ending with Mount …

The motion of hotspots and the deformation of their underlying plume conduits as calculated
within models of global mantle flow are presented. A new list of 44 possible hotspots with …

The mechanical conditions for a volcanic eruption to occur are conceptually simple: a
magma-driven fracture (normally a dyke) must be able to propagate from the source to the …

Maar-diatreme volcanoes mostly form when rising magma in basic to ultrabasic volcanic
fields interacts explosively with groundwater. Less commonly, there also exist maars …

Active microplate boundaries in ocean‐continent subduction zones may induce deformation
of the overlying plate and spatial or geochemical variations in the volcanic arc. We discuss …

The most dynamic demographic process of the past 250 years has been the movement of
people from rural areas to cities. For most of this period urbanisation has been concentrated …

The study of volcano-ice interactions, or'glaciovolcanism', is a field experiencing exponential
growth. This comprehensive volume presents a discussion of the distinctive processes and …

We present a global database on the subaerial morphometry of composite volcanoes. Data
was extracted from the 90-m resolution Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) digital …

The crustal structure in south‐central Alaska has been influenced by terrane accretion, flat
slab subduction, and a modern strike‐slip fault system. Within the active subduction system …
