A petrological study of Nyamulagira volcano, (North-Kivu, DR Congo): A tool for minimizing the threat of future eruptions on Goma’s population and surroundings KU Leuven
The Nyamulagira volcano (DR Congo) represents one of the most active volcanoes on Earth and is a real threat to the densely populated city of Goma. However, very little is known about the petrology of the volcano. Better understanding sub-volcanic processes is however essential to rigorously monitor the activity of the volcano and to predict realistic paths for future eruptions. In this PhD project, we propose a research plan combining (1) a ...
