IAVCEI: International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior

Association that represents the primary international focus for research in volcanology, efforts to mitigate volcanic disasters, and research into related disciplines, such as igneous geochemistry and petrology, geochronology, volcanogenic mineral deposits, and the physics of the generation and ascent of magmas in the upper mantle and crust.

Igneous Rock Tour

Introduction to igneous rocks, explaining the composition of granite, diorite, gabbro, rhyolite, andesite, basalt, and intrusive and extrusive rocks. Images of rock outcrops in their natural settings accompany the explanatory text, and the tour ends with a short quiz.

Journal of Petrology

OUP journal. Topics include trace element and isotope geochemistry and geochronology applied to petrogenesis; experimental petrology; processes of magma generation, differentiation and emplacement; quantitative studies of rock-forming minerals and their paragenesis; regional studies of igneous and meta morphic rocks which contribute to the solution of fundamental petrological problems; theoretical modelling of petrogenetic processes.
