0530109Bluth---This Partnership for International Research and Education (PIRE) award will support scientists, engineers and students from Michigan Technological University to work with collaborators in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Ecuador on the collaborative development of remote sensing tools for hazard mitigation and water resource development. The project will use satellite remote sensing in wide-ranging ways to monitor active volcanism (e.g., volcanic gas emission and lava flow topography) and to conduct systematic investigation of groundwater (e.g., contour and fracture analysis for water resource exploration); these approaches will have longer-than-usual timeframes and will be accompanied by complementary field studies. The collaboration of scientists and engineers from Michigan State University, INSIVUMEH (Instituto Nacional de Sismologia, Vulcanologia, Meteorologia, E Hidrologia) in Guatemala, from SNET (Servicio Nacional de Estudios Territoriales) in El Salvador, and from the Escuela Politecnica-Nacional Instituto Geofisico in Ecuador will connect the U.S. community with the first formal linkage among geoscience agencies from four Pacific Rim Latin American countries. This PIRE award features a diverse combination of educational activities, including extended field research opportunities for post-doctoral associates, for Ph. D. and Masters students, and for undergraduate students, expansion of an existing Peace Corps International Masters Program in Natural Hazards, a specialized undergraduate curriculum in hydrology that combines geoengineering and entrepreneurial training with international research, and coursework in the language, culture, history and politics of Latin America. One hundred undergraduate students and 51 graduate students will come together to work in this large-scale project with researchers from Latin America and the U.S. This partnership will serve both the U.S. and Latin America by bringing together diverse groups in long-term collaborations to develop remote sensing applications of great value to all of the nations. This award is co-funded by NSF's Division of Earth Sciences.

0530109 Bluth-国际研究和教育合作伙伴关系（PIRE）奖将支持密歇根理工大学的科学家、工程师和学生与危地马拉、萨尔瓦多、尼加拉瓜和厄瓜多尔的合作者合作开发用于减灾和水资源开发的遥感工具。该项目将广泛利用卫星遥感监测活火山活动（例如，火山气体排放和熔岩流地形）并对地下水进行系统调查（例如，水资源勘探的等高线和断裂分析）;这些方法的时限将比通常的长，并将辅之以补充性实地研究。来自密歇根州立大学、INSIVUMEH的科学家和工程师的合作（Instituto Nacional de Sismologia，Vulcanologia，Meteorologia，E Hidrologia）in Guatemala，from SNET（Servicio Nacional de Estudios Territoriales）in El萨尔瓦多，还有理工学院的厄瓜多尔的国家地球科学研究所将把美国社区与来自四个环太平洋拉丁美洲的地球科学机构之间的第一个正式联系联系起来国家 这个PIRE奖的特点是教育活动的多样化组合，包括为博士后助理，为博士研究生，为博士研究生和博士研究生提供广泛的实地研究机会。为和平队和硕士生提供了一个新的课程，为本科生提供了一个现有的和平队国际自然灾害硕士课程的扩展，这是一个将地球工程和创业培训与国际研究相结合的水文学专业本科课程，以及拉丁美洲语言、文化、历史和政治方面的课程。100名本科生和51名研究生将与来自拉丁美洲和美国的研究人员一起参与这一大型项目，这种伙伴关系将通过长期合作将不同群体聚集在一起，为美国和拉丁美洲服务，以开发对所有国家都具有重要价值的遥感应用。该奖项由NSF地球科学部共同资助。
