vulcanologists
Magma chamber experts
Vulcanologists are scientists who study volcanoes—their formation, eruptions, lava flows, and associated geological activity.
The field combines geology, chemistry, and physics to understand volcanic behavior and predict eruptions: Vulcanologists monitored the seismic activity before the evacuation.
Also spelled volcanologists.
