This introduction to the Volcanology, Geochemistry and Petrology (VGP) section of the 1979–1982 IUGG Quadrennial Report is intended to serve as a thumbnail sketch of some major research developments and trends in VGP over the past four years. These notes are drawn from, and limited to, the nine review articles which follow in this section. While I have made an effort to give mention to all areas covered by the reviews, the subjects about which I know most have inevitably received the greater play. A full reading of the reviews will provide a more balanced summary.
