IAVCEI and the Geological Society
of London have begun a book series that promotes and encourages a
greater understanding of volcanology. The series will include topics
such as the mitigation of volcanic disasters and research into closely
related disciplines, igneous geochemistry and petrology, geochronology,
volcanogenic mineral deposits, and the physics of the generation and
ascent of magmas in the upper mantle and crust.

IAV001 Statistics in Volcanology Editors: H M Mader, S G Coles, C B Connor and L J Connor ISBN no: 978-1-86239-208-3 Publication Date: November 2006 Pages: 296 Hardback Online Bookshop Code: IAV001 Price: List Price £85.00, IAVCEI Members £42.40 Blurb: Statistics in Volcanology is a comprehensive guide to modern statistical methods applied in volcanology, including forecast of volcanic eruptions, analysis of volcanological data sets, including time series, and assessment of numerical models of volcanic processes. Written for students and researchers in volcanology and statistics, this compilation of 19 chapters provides an overview of state-of-the-art methods that provide clear and robust insight into the nature of complex volcanic processes. Also provided are comprehensive overviews of volcanic phenomena, and a full glossary of both volcanological and statistical terms. Statistics in Volcanology is essential reading for everyone interested in this multidisciplinary field.

IAV002 Studies in Volcanology: the Legacy of George Walker Editors: T Thordarson, S Self, G Larsen, S K Rowland, A Hoskuldsson ISBN no: 978-1-86239-280-9 Publication Date: July 2009 Pages: 416 Hardback Online Bookshop Code: IAV002 Price: List Price £110.00, IAVCEI Members £55 Blurb: Professor George Patrick Leonard Walker was one of the fathers of modern quantitative volcanology and arguably the foremost volcanologist of the twentieth century. In his long career, George studied a wide spectrum of volcanological problems and in doing so influenced almost every branch of the field. This volume, which honours his memory and his contributions to the field of volcanology, contains a collection of papers inspired by, and building upon, many of the ideas previously developed by George. Many of the contributors either directly studied under and worked with George, or were profoundly influenced by his ideas. The topics broadly fall under the three themes of lava flows and effusion, explosive volcanism, and volcanoes and their infrastructure.

IAV003 The Colli Albani volcano Editors: R. Funiciello and G Giordano ISBN no: 978-1-86239-307-3 Publication Date: September 2010 Pages: 400 Hardback Online Bookshop Code: IAV003 Price: List Price £95, IAVCEI Members £47.5 Blurb: The Colli Albani volcano (also Alban Hills volcano) is the large quiescent volcanic field that dominates the Roman skyline. The Colli Albani is one of the most explosive mafic calderas in the world, associated with intermediate to large volume ignimbrites. At present it shows signs of unrest, including periodic seismic swarms, ground uplift and intense diffuse degassing, which are the main short-term hazards. New studies have discovered deposits related to previously unknown pre-Holocene and Holocene volcanic and phreatic activity. In the fourth Century B.C.E. Roman engineers excavated a tunnel through the Albano maar crater wall to keep the lake from breaching the rim and flooding the surrounding countryside, events that had previously destroyed this region several times. The Colli Albani Volcano contains 21 scientific contributions on stratigraphy, volcanotectonics, geochronology, petrography and geochemistry, hydrogeology, volcanic hazards, geophysics and archaeology, and a new 1:50 000 scale geological map of the volcano. The proximity to Rome and the interconnection between volcanic and human history also make this volcano of interest for both specialists and non-specialists.
