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

该发展中国家科学奖将支持将于 1992 年 8 月在哥伦比亚帕斯托举行的关于哥伦比亚加莱拉斯火山群的国际研讨会。组织者是亚利桑那州立大学的 Stanley Williams 和 Marta Lucia Calvache V. 以及哥伦比亚帕斯托哥伦比亚南火山观测站的 Jaime Romero L.。 该研讨会旨在综合有关加莱拉斯的最先进知识，制作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，加勒拉斯的地震活动显着增加。 研究人员之前对火山近期地质情况的研究表明，可能会发生爆炸性喷发。 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，并尝试通过在灾难发生前增加基础知识来减轻潜在危险。 如果火山喷发发生在研讨会之前，组织者将利用它来整合成果并指导后续研究。 美国和拉丁美洲的参与者都将从及时的信息交流和开发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.
