Series: Advances in Volcanology

This book presents a summary of volcano geomorphology. It describes in detail volcanic landforms and related geomorphic processes.

It provides a review of the recent outcomes of new research topics in geomorphology and physical volcanology, e.g., an improved classification and understanding of volcanic landforms, either monogenetic or polygenetic. Such knowledge enables the understanding of processes and rates of growth and destruction of volcanic landforms and landscapes. It helps to get an overview of how to study volcanic landforms and processes in providing an updated review of a wide array of classical and modern methods.
