Collaborative Research on Volcanic Hazard Mitigation in Guatemala and El Salvador

.0118587玫瑰这个奖项将支持威廉博士。罗斯，密歇根理工大学，与埃迪·桑切斯·贝内特博士，总干事，危地马拉国家系统研究所，和卡洛斯普林格博士，研究所自然资源研究所，圣萨尔瓦多，研究在这些国家，这是地球上第二个最活跃的火山区的一部分，火山灾害减轻工作。 这些火山中有许多都靠近人口中心，本提案将重点关注针对这些高风险地区的具体研究问题。研究人员计划通过使用卫星遥感和动态GPS测量技术，沿着数字地形学，传统的野外测绘和火山过程的实验室模拟来解决缓解问题。通过这些方法，他们计划开发一个当前和潜在危险的模型，用于描述不断变化的危险。 **** .

Rose, Michigan Technological University, in a collaboration with Dr. Eddie Sanchez Bennet, General Director, Instituto Nacional de Sismologia, Guatemala, and Dr. Carlos Pullinger, Instituto de Investigacion de Riesgos Naturales, San Salvador, for a study of volcanic hazard mitigation efforts in those countries, which are part of the second most consistently active volcano zone on earth. Many of those volcanoes are close to population centers, and this proposal will focus on specific research problems addressing areas with high risk such as those.The researchers plan to address mitigation by the use of satellite remote sensing and kinematic GPS survey techniques along with digital topography, conventional field mapping, and laboratory simulation of volcanic processes. Through these methods they plan to develop a model of current and prospective hazards to be used to delineate changing hazard. **** .
