Answer:
There are many paths to becoming a volcanologist. Most share a
college or graduate school education in a scientific or
technical field, but the range of specialties is very large.
Training in geology, geophysics, geochemistry, biology,
biochemistry, mathematics, statistics, engineering, atmospheric
science, remote sensing, and related fields can be applied to
the study of volcanoes and the interactions between volcanoes
and the environment. The key ingredients are a strong
fascination and boundless curiosity about volcanoes and how they
work. From there, the possibilities are almost endless.
