REU Site: Near-Surface Geophysics Field Camp on an Activite Salisic Volcano

该奖项资助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野外夏令营的旅费和生活费。野外训练营的目的是培训这些学生在研究活跃的火山地形时使用先进的地球物理设备。学生培训的请求利用了现有的US0-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险。正在进一步组织学生培训，以便利用将由J.Neuberg(英国利兹大学)在蒙特塞拉特开办的高级火山地球物理学和近地表地球物理野外训练营。因此，向这座岛屿火山租用或运输重型地球物理设备将不需要任何成本。预计野外夏令营的成果将用于规划安装地球物理观测站，这些观测站是国家科学基金会/国家环境研究中心赞助的蒙特塞拉特科学方案的一部分。野外夏令营的教育目的有两个：(1)展示活动火山地质学中的三维地球物理测量和数据的技术和价值，(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。学生的实地调查和数据分析包括现代地球物理调查方法的高级培训，以及蒙特塞拉特科学计划涉及的行业、政府和大学之间的广泛互动。

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.
