Abstract

The study of volcanic and igneous plumbing system is a scientific discipline that builds on multi-disciplinary research on magma movement, evolution, and storage from the fields of volcanology, igneous petrology and geochemistry, geophysics and volcano geodesy. As outlined in the chapters of this book, research has revealed a complex picture of the processes that occur within the plumbing system. However, much work remains to be done, and this chapter discusses a number of challenges in future volcanic and igneous plumbing systems research based on recurring questions in the previous chapters. These challenges or directions include the link between nature and models, the time scales of magma transport, storage and eruption, the interplay between the rheology of magma and its host rock, as well as the relationship between magma plumbing and stress fields at different scales.
