U.S.-Argentina/Chile Collaborative Research on Volcano Remote Sensing

0405634罗斯这个美国-阿根廷/智利奖项将为密歇根理工大学的威廉·I·罗斯博士和丽泽特·A·罗德里格斯女士提供支持。支持由国际科学与工程办公室(OISE)和岩石学和地球化学项目提供。PIS将与他们的同行合作，包括萨尔塔国立大学的Jose G.Viramonte博士、智利安托法加斯塔的Catolica del Norte大学的Eduardo E.Medina博士以及阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯科尔多瓦国家活动委员会的Gabriel Platzeck博士。该项目将支持来自密歇根理工大学、夏威夷大学、俄勒冈大学和匹兹堡大学的美国火山学家参加协作性实地和遥感研究，并参加火山遥感研讨会。主要目标是发展利用中央安第斯山脉作为涉及火山活动和遥感的研究地点。美国研究人员将把他们在火山学新技术方法方面的专业知识与他们在该领域拥有丰富经验的阿根廷同事分享。火山学实地课程将包括对从阿根廷萨尔塔到智利圣佩德罗德阿塔卡马的横跨安第斯山脉的地理样带进行实地考察，这将使学员能够熟悉遥感目标，提供有关目前在世界各地监测网络中使用的最新陆基遥感技术的培训。这些互惠互利的活动将促进火山学家和研究全球变化和极端环境中生活的学生之间的新合作。

0405634RoseThis U.S.- Argentina/Chile award will provide support to Dr. William I. Rose and Ms. Lizzette A. Rodriguez, Michigan Technological University. Support is provided by the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) and the Petrology and Geochemistry Program. The PIs will collaborate with their counterparts, Dr. Jose G. Viramonte, Universidad Nacional de Salta, Dr. Eduardo E. Medina, Universidad Catolica del Norte, Antofagasta, Chile, and Dr. Gabriel Platzeck, Comision Nacional de Actividades Espaciales, Buenos Aires, Argentina in Cordoba, Argentina. The project will support travel of U.S. volcanologists from Michigan Tech, the University of Hawaii, University of Oregon and the University of Pittsburgh to participate in collaborative field and remote sensing studies and to attend a volcanological remote sensing workshop. The primary goal is to develop the use of the Central Andes as a site for research involving volcanism and remote sensing. The U.S. researchers will bring their expertise in new technological methods in volcanology to share with their Argentine colleagues, who have extensive experience in the field. A Volcanology Field Course will involve a field trip to a geo-transect across the Andes from Salta, Argentina to San Pedro de Atacama, Chile, that will allow the participants to gain familiarity with remote sensing targets, providing training on the latest ground based remote sensing techniques currently being used in monitoring networks around the world. These mutually beneficial activities will catalyze new collaborations between volcanologists and students of global change and life in extreme environments.
