How can i get into volcanology via a geography degree?

Unfortunately a geography degree won’t have the background in mineralogy, structure, physics and chemistry that will be required to specialize as a volcanologist. Volcanology is a very specialized science and you will need either a Masters or (preferably) Doctorate degree in volcanology. If that’s what you want to pursue you will have to go back to school and study geology and geophysics at the undergraduate level, and then specialize in volcanology at the graduate level. There is not a lot of work outside of academia and government surveys (eg, GSC, USGS, BGS etc) in volcanology, so you will need some very good academic credentials to qualify. I hope that helps and good luck!
