Course Description

Overview

Join a team of volcanic, tectonic, and seismic experts as they provide a comprehensive overview of the Mount Fagradalsfjall eruption in Iceland, which began on March 19, 2021. Explore the geological context of the eruption, including plate tectonics, magnetic anomalies, rift zones, and mantle plumes. Delve into seismic tomography studies and their implications for understanding Iceland's unique geological setting. Examine the eruption's characteristics, including gas composition, heavy metals, and air pollution. Learn about forecasting and monitoring techniques, as well as the health implications of volcanic activity. Engage with expert discussions on controversial topics in volcanic research and gain insights into ongoing collaborations in the field. Conclude with a broader perspective on the Atlantic breakup and its connection to Iceland's volcanic activity.
