Explosive Volcanism Workshop. Integrating Numerical and Laboratory Models of Explosive Eruptions with Field Observations: Understanding Pyroclastic Transport

这笔赠款将支助一个国际讲习班，重点讨论如何更好地将爆炸性喷发的数字和实验室模型与实地观察相结合的战略，特别注意了解活火山中火山碎屑流的迁移。 研讨会将于2007年3月31日至4月3日在亚利桑那州普雷斯科特举行。 该研讨会将汇集计算，实验和实地科学家，努力改善过程火山学的沟通，并更好地了解共同的研究兴趣和未来的机会。召集人是阿曼达克拉克（亚利桑那州立大学）、杰里米菲利普斯（布里斯托大学）和乔治伯甘茨（华盛顿大学）。该研讨会将有几个具体目标，包括1）定义下一波合作研究项目应建立的主要前沿，特别侧重于将爆炸性火山作用的计算、实验和实地研究结合起来; 2）设计（概念上）一个爆炸性火山活动数据库，它将容纳简单的实验，现场和建模数据主要用于（重要的）验证练习和对现场和实验室数据的定量解释;设计课程模块从数据库中分发（或其他地点），以火山羽流或火山碎屑流为例，展示科学家如何将概念模型发展为定量或数字模型。会议将围绕羽流和火山碎屑流动力学和火山灰沉降物等广泛主题组织。该奖项将支持参与费用，以几个人，但优先将给予那些给主题演讲，学生和早期职业调查。

This grant will support an international workshop focused on strategies on how to better integrate numerical and laboratory models of explosive eruptions with field observations, with the special attention to the understanding of transport of pyroclastic flows in active volcanoes. The worshop will take place March 31-April 3 2007, in Prescott, Arizona. The workshop will bring together computational, experimental and field-based scientists in an effort to improve communication in process volcanology, and a better understanding of shared research interests and future opportunities. The conveners are Amanda Clarke (Arizona State University), Jeremy Phillips (University of Bristol) and George Bergantz (University of Washington). The workshop will have several specific goals, including 1) defining the main fronts upon which the next wave of collaborative research projects should be built, focusing particularly upon bringing together computational, experimental and field-based study of explosive volcanism; 2) designing (conceptually) an Explosive Volcanism Database, which will house simple experimental, field and modeling data to be used primarily for (important) validation exercises and quantitative interpretation of field and lab data; and 3) designing a course module to be distributed from the database (or other site) to demonstrate, via the example of volcanic plumes or pyroclastic flows, how scientists develop a conceptual model into a quantitative or numerical model. Sessions will be organized around the broad topics of plume and pyroclastic flow dynamics and tephra fallout. This award will support participation costs to several individuals but preference will be given to those giving keynote talks, students and early-career investigators.
