This page provides resources to help educators bring volcanic modeling into their classrooms. VICTOR offers cloud-based tools, workflows, and models that let students explore volcanic phenomena while learning essential data science techniques.
The teaching materials developed by the VICTOR team include videos, tutorials, lecture slides, lab assignments, and case studies to help students engage with workflows, interdisciplinary models, and hazard assessment. Our goal is to provide hands-on studies to foster a deeper understanding of computation volcanology in real-world contexts.
