The International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI) is a learned society that focuses on research in volcanology, efforts to mitigate volcanic disasters, and research into closely related disciplines, such as igneous geochemistry and petrology, geochronology, volcanogenic mineral deposits, and the physics of the generation and ascent of magmas in the ...
Rhyolitic lava dome of Chaitén Volcano during its 2008–2010 eruption One of the Inyo Craters, an example of a rhyolite dome Nea Kameni seen from Thera, Santorini. In volcanology, a lava dome is a circular, mound-shaped protrusion resulting from the slow extrusion of viscous lava from a volcano.
