There is no single text that covers all of volcanology, which is a very broad, interdisciplinary topic. We will use Francis and Oppenheimer, especially chapters 7, 8, 11 and 16. Francis, Peter and Clive Oppenheimer Volcanoes Paperback: 521 pages Oxford University Pr; (2004) ISBN: 0199254699
Another useful book is Encyclopedia of Volcanoes, ed by H Sigurdsson (Academic Press, 2000--ISBN# 0-12-643140-X).
An excellent text about fine particles is Friedlander, 2000, Smoke, Dust and Haze 2000, 480pp.; 172 illus. 512999-7 Oxford Unversity Press
An excellent atmospheric science text is Atmospheric Science: An introductory Survey, By Wallace and Hobbs, 2006 (2nd edition).
Texts in sedimentology and fluid mechanics would be useful as well, but I do not have specific recommendations. We will use a lot of scientific articles, and students are urged to read widely among these.
