Welcome to e-Volcano, an online platform for video lectures & brief perspectives in volcanology
New technologies and computer programs have been significantly advancing our ways of teaching and learning in the past decades and new platforms have been created to provide new learning tools to support the visual and auditory learning. Also, the repeated lockdowns due to the current Coronavirus crisis and resulting home-office has led many scientists to start using video tools for scientific communication. However, while most of the scientific content in Volcanology is available in written form via books and papers, the community has not yet had the chance to widely benefit from quality online tools such as video lectures and podcasts as a learning and teaching tool. This is where eVolcano comes into play.
eVolcano is an online platform where peer reviewed video content is made freely available to all students, scientists, and the public. Volcanology experts will be invited to record scientific videos covering the main topics in the field. The volcanology community will further be able to send proposals for video submissions, complementing the main videos with short communications, exercises, debates, and many more.
All videos are peer reviewed by an Editor and reviewer(s) before being published fully open access, to ensure the high quality of all content published.
The Pilot project includes videos targeting the University level in English language. Future videos could include a diversity of languages, as well as target different School and public knowledge levels.
What eVolcano can provide:
This eVolcano lecture on pyroclastic fall deposits is given by Samantha Engwell (British Geological Survey) and Julia Eychenne (Laboratoire Magmas et Volcans, France). It provides insights into the sedimentary and textural characteristics of tephra fall deposits, from the outcrop scale…
The video provides a short introduction to magmatic volatiles and the basic chemical and petrological factors that control their solubility. Besides the two most common volatile species, water and carbon dioxide, the video discusses noble gases, sulfur, and chlorine. The viewer is…
Explosive volcanic eruptions can perturb the hydrology of landscapes downwind and downstream of volcanoes by damaging vegetation and depositing large amounts of volcaniclastic sediment. Fluxes of water and sediment from volcanically perturbed landscapes can increase substantially, prompting hazardous geomorphic responses…
