An International Workshop on Galeras Volcanic Complex, Pasto, Colombia; January 10-16, 1993

这项发展中国家科学奖将支助将于1992年8月在哥伦比亚帕斯托举行的关于哥伦比亚加拉斯火山群的国际讲习班。组织者是亚利桑那州立大学的Stanley Williams和Marta Lucia Calvache V.以及哥伦比亚Pasto的哥伦比亚南部火山观测站的Jaime Romero L.。该研讨会旨在综合有关加拉斯火山的最新知识，建立火山系统的初步工作模型，并规划未来的研究合作。在过去三年中，Galeras的地震活动显著增加。研究人员先前对火山近期地质情况的研究表明，可能会发生爆发性喷发。在本次研讨会上，参与者将为Galeras正在进行的研究项目设计新的维度，并试图在灾难发生前通过增加基本知识来减轻潜在的危害。如果火山爆发发生在研讨会之前，组织者将利用它来整合结果并指导后续研究。美国和拉丁美洲的参与者都将从及时的信息交流和发展未来合作项目的机会中受益。

This Science in Developing Countries award will support an international workshop on Galeras Volcanic Complex, Colombia, to be held in Pasto, Colombia in August 1992. Organizers are Stanley Williams and Marta Lucia Calvache V. of Arizona State University and Jaime Romero L. of the Observatorio Volcanologico de Colombia-Sur in Pasto, Colombia. The workshop aims to synthesize state-of-the- art knowledge concerning Galeras, produce a preliminary working model of the volcanic system, and plan future research collaboration. During the last three years, seismic activity at Galeras has increased significantly. The researchers' prior work on the volcano's recent geology suggests that an explosive eruption is likely. In this workshop, participants will design new dimensions to ongoing research programs at Galeras and try to mitigate potential hazards by increasing basic knowledge before a disaster. If the eruption occurs before the workshop, the organizers will use it to integrate results and direct continuing research. Both the U.S. and Latin American participants will benefit from a timely exchange of information and from the opportunity to develop future collaborative projects.
