Peter Francis Slides Part I

A Slide Set by Peter Francis

From his book Volcanoes: A Planetary Perspective (1993) Oxford University Press, Oxford, UK, 443 pp.

Dr. Francis has graciously granted VolcanoWorld permission to refer to his slideset and we thank him for his generosity. We obtained the following from the NASA EOS IDS Volcanology Team's Web document.

Dr. Francis writes:

This selection of slides was compiled in reponse to requests for illustrative material arising from my Oxford University Press book. I hope it will be of some help in teaching volcanology. Inevitably, it was difficult to choose 40 slides to cover the whole field of volcanology, and there are many subjects not covered at all. In making the selection, I chose slides that were:

Reasonably good pictures in themselves.
Good illustrations of some volcano or point of volcanology.
Not already too widely familiar.
Suitable for use in class teaching.
Covering a wide range of subjects.

I have indicated in parentheses the relevant parts of the book text in which the material is described (e.g., Section 7.4) and also the same or similar figures (e.g., Fig. 9.17). In some cases, these are not identical, because I have replaced original black and white prints with color slides.

I hope that you find the slide set useful, and would of course welcome any comments you may have on the slides themselves or the explanatory captions. Please write to me at:
