This book describes the different tools that have been developed during the last decades to explain how scientists study volcanoes. It takes into consideration volcanology as being a complex field at the interface between geology, geochemistry and geophysics and provides information about these aspects to embrace the diversity of a volcanic system. The book also provides an outlook to which direction this research is leading. It offers a hands-on experience directly useful if the reader wants to start applying the principles exposed.
