U.S. - Argentina Program: Workshop on "Volcanic Lakes" in Caviahue, Argentina; November 2004

0406150Varekamp这一美国-阿根廷奖将为Johan C.Varekamp博士及其同行、科马休大学的Daniel H.Delpino博士和Adriana M.Bermudez博士组织一次关于阿根廷Caviahue火山湖的研讨会提供支持。这次研讨会将与在智利普孔附近举行的IAVCEI会议同时举行，吸引了广泛的火山学家、湖泊学家、全球变化专业的学生以及那些在极端环境中研究生命的人。他们将讨论诸如火山监测、污染地表水的火山排放的公共卫生问题、与湖泊爆炸有关的危险以及火山信号对在湖泊沉积物序列中重建古气候信号的影响等主题。卡瓦胡村有受火山影响的河流和湖水。会议将汇集来自世界各地的专家，评估火山预报的最新水平。该项目由国际科学与工程办公室(OISE)和岩石学和地球化学计划联合支持，还将讨论许多拥有活火山的欠发达国家地表水域火山污染的程度和严重性。

0406150VarekampThis U.S.- Argentina award will provide support for Dr. Johan C. Varekamp and his counterparts, Dr. Daniel H. Delpino and Dr. Adriana M. Bermudez of University of Comahue, to organize a workshop on Volcanic Lakes in Caviahue, Argentina. This workshop will be held alongside the IAVCEI meeting held in nearby Pucon, Chile, drawing a wide cross-section of volcanologists, limnologists, global change students and those that work on life in extreme environments. They will discuss topics such as volcanic monitoring, public health aspects of volcanic emissions that contaminate surface waters, dangers associated with lake explosions, and impacts of volcanic signals on reconstruction of paleo-climate signals in lake sediment sequences, and others. The village of Caviahue has rivers and lake waters impacted by volcanic inputs.The meetings will bring together experts from all over the world to evaluate the state-of-the-art in volcano forecasting. Research on the extent and severity of volcanic pollution of surface waters in many less developed countries with active volcanoes will also be discussed.This project is jointly supported by the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) and the Petrology and Geochemistry Program.
