Cet ouvrage tient compte du renouveau des connaissances en volcanologie au cours de ces deux dernières décennies. L'auteur décrit la "chambre magmatique" et les processus complexes qui s'y déroulent. Quatre types d'éruption sont ensuite envisagés : émission de lave, retombées, explosions dirigées et enfin volcanisme sous-marin. Il insiste sur l'approche physique des processus et sur leurs possibles modélisations. Cette sixième édition actualisée tient compte des éruptions récentes et s'attache plus particulièrement aux nouvelles techniques de prévision, et surtout au suivi de la gestion des éruptions volcaniques. L'aspect utile du volcanisme (métallogénie, géothermie, santé, loisirs, etc.) n'est pas oublié. Ce livre constitue une référence incontournable pour tous ceux qui s'intéressent aux volcans.

Volcanoes are unquestionably one of the most spectacular and awe-inspiring features of the physical world. Our paradoxical fascination with them stems from their majestic beauty and powerful, if sometimes deadly, destructiveness. Notwithstanding the tremendous advances in volcanology since ancient times, some of the mystery surrounding volcanic eruptions remains today. The Encyclopedia of Volcanoes summarizes our present knowledge of volcanoes. Through its thematic organization around the melting of the earth, it provides a comprehensive source of information on the multidisciplinary influences of volcanic eruptions--both the destructive as well as the beneficial aspects. The majority of the chapters focus on the geoscience-related aspects of volcanism (radioactive heat source, melting rock, ascent of magma, surface phenomena associated with exiting magma, extraterrestrial volcanism, etc.). In addition, complementary chapters discuss the multidisciplinary aspects of volcanismthese include the history of volcanology, geothermal energy resources, interaction with the oceans and atmosphere, health aspects of volcanism, mitigation of volcanic disasters, post-eruption ecology, and the impact of eruptions on organismal biodiversity. In addition to its appeal to educators, students, and professional and amateur scientists, the Encyclopedia of Volcanoes functions as an important information resource for administrators and officials responsible for developing and implementing volcanic hazard mitigation around the world. The first and only reference work to cover all aspects of volcanology More than 80 separate peer-reviewed articles--all original contributions by leading authors from major institutions of science around the world, commissioned for this work An integrated transition from the volcanic process through hazards, risk, and societal impacts, with an emphasis on how volcanoes have influenced and shaped society Convenient single-volume format with topics arran
