With VMAPP there are a number of additional resources and benefits that can help with exploration within volcanic basins. This area provides access to additional documentation, GIS resources and further information about potential field-workshop activities, consulting and other training possibilities.

Field Guides

We have been running successful field workshops for many years to targeted areas around the globe (see the Field Training section below). We have provided some selections of field-workshop materials for the VMAPP members as an introductory resource to highlight the valuable contribution these can make to training, teamwork, and exploration needs. Here are a selection of some guides to areas in light PDF versions (higher resolution PDFs have been supplied directly).

GIS resources

As part of the Basin Modules activity we generate volcanic facies maps of key areas. These are available as QGIS projects for ease of portability and compatibility. There are some selected QGIS projects available below, and you can always contact the VMAPP team about your GIS needs.

Field Workshops

An important part of understating volcanic basins and margins is getting feet on the ground to look at the geology. Through VMAPP we offer a number of potential field workshops in areas we have spent many years working. We are also able to discuss additional field training areas and requirements to devolop bespoke workshops that meet the needs of your team. Here we provide a synopsis of some of the common field workshops that we run.

Consultancy

Through VMAPP, consultancy on proprietary data and projects are discounted. We also like to prioritise working with our VMAPP clients as it enables us to build on the solid framework of materials that you can access through the VMAPP projects.

We have extensive internal expertise and work in collaboration with other renowned researchers to provide the best state of the art work on volcanic basins and margins.

Please contact the team directly with any consultancy needs that you may have and benefit from the existing VMAPP collaboration.
