Environmental Effects on Volcanic Eruptions

Presents late-1990s research into the effect that environmental conditions have on volcanic eruptions and the subsequent emplacement of volcanic products. The text consists of a series of chapters that investigate specific environments - both terrestrial and extraterrestrial - and the expression of volcanic materials found within those settings. Numerical, analytical and computer models are used in most chapters to provide quantitative insights into how volcanoes behave in different environmental settings.
