This award supports travel and living expenses for 8 to 10 US advanced students to participate in a near-surface volcano-geophysics field camp on Montserrat. The purpose of the field camp is to train these students in the use of advanced geophysical equipment in the study of active volcanic terrains. The request for student training takes advantage of an existing US0-NSF and UK-NERC sponsored effort to understand the science and hazards of the relatively silisic volcanic system on Montserrat. The student training is further being organized so as to take advantage of the advanced volcano-geophysics and near-surface enivornmental-geophysics field camp that will be run on Montserrat by J. Neuberg (Leeds University, the UK). As a result, there will be no costs for renting or transporting heavy geophysical equipment to this island volcano. It is also anticipated that the results of the field camp will be used in planning the installation of the geophysical observatories that are part of the NSF/NERC sponsored science program on Montserrat.The educational purpose of the field camp will be two fold: (1) to demonstrate the techniques and value of 3D geophysical surveying and data in active volcanic geology, and (2) acquaint a large group of students with the scientific objectives and research possibilities of the Montserrat progrm. The student fieldwork and data analysis include advanced training in modern geophysical investigation methods and extensive interactions between industry, government, and the universities involved in the Montserrat science program.

该奖项支持8至10名美国高级学生参加蒙特塞拉特近地表火山-地球物理学野外营地的旅费和生活费。 野外营地的目的是训练这些学生使用先进的地球物理设备研究活火山地形。 对学生培训的要求利用了现有的US 0-NSF和UK-NERC赞助的努力，以了解蒙特塞拉特相对硅质火山系统的科学和危害。 目前正在进一步组织学生培训，以便利用J. Neuberg（英国利兹大学）将在蒙特塞拉特举办的先进的火山-地球物理学和近地表环境-地球物理学实地训练营。 因此，将不需要租用或运输重型地球物理设备到这座火山岛。 预计野外营的结果将用于规划地球物理观测站的安装，这些观测站是NSF/NERC赞助的蒙特塞拉特科学计划的一部分。野外营的教育目的有两个方面：（1）论证了三维地球物理测量和资料在活火山地质中的技术和价值;和（2）使一大群学生了解蒙特塞拉特方案的科学目标和研究可能性。学生的实地考察和数据分析包括现代地球物理调查方法的高级培训以及参与蒙特塞拉特科学计划的工业，政府和大学之间的广泛互动。
