Active volcanoes provide a uniquely exciting environment in which students can learn how to conduct field-based geologic research. A new course, Field Volcanology, is based in the southern Cascades, a region containing three active volcanoes with contrasting eruptive styles. The course extends the traditional geology field camp curriculum by teaching how mapping can be used in conjunction with other skills to address specific research questions. Through a series of integrated projects the participants learn how to prepare detailed geologic maps and cross sections; install equipment in the field; collect, analyze and interpret a variety of original data; use field criteria to evaluate different eruption models; and assess the state of activity and potential hazards of each volcano. By using this environment and teaching approach we seek to produce motivated and well-trained young scientists who will be better prepared for a professional career in whatever subdiscipline they choose to pursue. The proposed five-week Field Volcanology course builds upon two of the major strengths of the Geology Department at Arizona State University: its internationally recognized program in volcanology and its undergraduate and graduate curricula that are centered upon a variety of field courses. It also takes advantage of some equipment purchased through an earlier ILI grant for development of a field geophysics course.

活火山提供了一个独特的令人兴奋的环境，学生可以学习如何进行实地地质研究。 一个新的课程，现场火山学，是基于南部的瀑布，一个地区包含三个活火山与对比喷发风格。 该课程扩展了传统的地质野外营地课程，教授如何将制图与其他技能结合起来，以解决特定的研究问题。 通过一系列综合项目，参与者学习如何编制详细的地质图和横截面;在现场安装设备;收集、分析和解释各种原始数据;使用现场标准评估不同的喷发模型;评估每座火山的活动状态和潜在危险。 通过使用这种环境和教学方法，我们寻求产生积极和训练有素的年轻科学家谁将更好地为他们选择追求的任何子学科的职业生涯做好准备。 拟议的为期五周的野外火山学课程建立在亚利桑那州立大学地质系的两个主要优势之上：其国际公认的火山学课程及其以各种野外课程为中心的本科生和研究生课程。 它还利用了通过ILI早先的赠款购买的一些设备，用于开发实地电子物理学课程。
