Volcanic studies involve the investigation of volcanic activity, including the processes that occur within volcanoes and their surrounding environments. This field of research encompasses a wide range of disciplines, such as geology, geophysics, geochemistry, and volcanology. Researchers in this area study volcanic eruptions, lava flows, volcanic gases, volcanic hazards, and the monitoring and prediction of volcanic activity. The goal of volcanic studies is to better understand the behavior of volcanoes to mitigate risks and protect populations living in volcanic regions.
