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

该奖项支持8至10名美国高级学生参加蒙特塞拉特岛近地表火山地球物理野外营地的旅行和生活费用。野外营地的目的是训练这些学生在研究活火山地形时使用先进的地球物理设备。学生培训的要求利用了现有的US0-NSF和UK-NERC赞助的努力，以了解蒙特塞拉特岛相对硅质的火山系统的科学和危害。正在进一步组织学生培训，以便利用J. Neuberg（联合王国利兹大学）将在蒙特塞拉特开办的先进的火山地球物理和近地表环境地球物理野外营地。因此，租用或运输重型地球物理设备到这座火山岛将不需要任何费用。还预计实地考察营的结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/国家环境研究委员会赞助的蒙特塞拉特科学方案的一部分。野外营地的教育目的有两个方面：(1)展示活火山地质学中三维地球物理测量和数据的技术和价值；(2)使一大群学生熟悉蒙特塞拉特项目的科学目标和研究可能性。学生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。

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.
