Many aspects of volcanoes, most notably the eruptive processes and the
compositional variations of magma, have been widely investigated for
several decades and today constitute the core of any volcanology textbook.
Nevertheless, in the last two decades, boosted by the availability of
volcano monitoring data, there has been an increasing interest in the
pre-eruptive processes related to the shallow accumulation and to the
transfer of magma approaching the surface, as well as in the resulting
structure of volcanoes. These are innovative and essential aspects of
modern volcanology and, as driving volcanic unrest, their understanding
also improves hazard assessment and eruption forecasting. So far, the
significant progress made in unravelling these volcano-tectonic processes
has not been supported by a comprehensive overview.

This monograph aims at filling this gap, describing the pre-eruptive
processes related to the structure, deformation, and tectonics of
volcanoes, at the local and regional scale, in any tectonic setting. The
monograph is organized into three sections (â??Fundamentalsâ??, â??Magma
migration towards the surfaceâ??, and â??The regional perspectiveâ??), consisting
of thirteen chapters that are lavishly illustrated. The reader is
accompanied in a journey within the volcano factory, discovering the
processes associated with the shallow accumulation of magma and its
transfer towards the surface, how these control the structure of volcanoes
and their activity and, ultimately, improve our ability to estimate hazard
and forecast eruption.

The potential readership includes any academic, researcher, and
upper-undergraduate student interested in volcanology, magma intrusions,
structural geology, tectonics, geodesy, as well as geology and geophysics
in general.



Valerio Acocella, professor of Volcano-Tectonics and Volcanic Risk at the
University of Roma Tre, Rome, Italy, has been studying volcanoes worldwide
for more than two decades, publishing approximately 150 scientific papers.
He has coordinated large research projects on Etna and Campi Flegrei, as
well as the IAVCEI Commission on Calderas. He has been serving as the
editor for several scientific journals and organizing sessions at many
scientific meetings.
