This award will support the participation of approximately 20 students in the Cities on Volcanoes 4 meeting that is to be held in Quito, Ecuador in January 2006. The meeting represents an outstanding opportunity for students to gain insight into volcanic hazard and response through mixing with an international group of emergency managers, volcanologists, educators, sociologists, psychologists, economists and city planners. In this regard, the meeting extends beyond traditional, process-focused themes and considers the integration of physical science with social and health sciences, engineering, hazard monitoring and emergency response. Assuch, it provides students of volcanology a unique opportunity to understand and assess the relevance of their study and research within the context of the hazard that volcanoes pose to local populations, as well as probable responses and reactions during crises. In terms of broader impacts, participation in this conference will help volcanology graduate students to be more aware of the role of their disciplinary study within the context of hazard mitigation. The conference will offer unique early-career opportunities for students to mix with hazard managers and monitoring agencies, and thus gain insights into the needs of these user groups.

该奖项将支持城市中约20名学生参加2006年1月在厄瓜多尔基多举行的第四次火山会议。这次会议为学生提供了一个绝佳的机会，通过与一个由应急管理人员、火山学家、教育工作者、社会学家、心理学家、经济学家和城市规划师组成的国际小组，了解火山灾害和应对措施。在这方面，会议超越了以进程为重点的传统主题，并审议了将物理科学与社会科学和卫生科学、工程学、危险监测和应急反应相结合的问题。因此，它为火山学学生提供了一个独特的机会，在火山对当地人民造成的危险以及危机期间可能的反应和反应的背景下，了解和评估他们的学习和研究的相关性。在更广泛的影响方面，参加这次会议将帮助火山学研究生更好地认识到他们的学科研究在减灾背景下的作用。会议将为学生提供独特的早期职业机会，让他们与危险管理者和监测机构打成一片，从而深入了解这些用户群体的需求。
