0732632PatrickThis grant support acquisition of a forward looking infrared radiometer (FLIR) for imaging surface temperatures of volcanic eruptive products. The FLIR will foster a diverse range of collaborative research using thermal methods to support a better understanding of effusive and explosive volcanic processes. Broader impacts include: 1) the utility of FLIR images for inferring volcanic edifice stability and potentially identifying eruption precursors; 2) the fostering of collaborative volcanological research between MTU faculty and researchers in the Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Ecuador, where target volcanoes will be studied; 3) PI plans to involve underrepresented undergraduate student interns from the University of Puerto Rico in field research; and 4) use of the FLIR camera by students in an ongoing MTU developed Peace Corps Master's International Program that embeds MTU Geology students at Latin American Volcano Observatories as a part of their program of study.***

0732632帕特里克这笔赠款支持购买一个前视红外辐射计（FLIR）成像火山喷发产品的表面温度。 前视红外光谱将利用热方法促进各种合作研究，以支持更好地了解喷发和爆炸火山过程。 更广泛的影响包括：1）前视红外图像用于推断火山建筑物的稳定性和可能识别喷发前兆; 2）促进MTU教职员工与危地马拉、尼加拉瓜、萨尔瓦多、哥斯达黎加和厄瓜多尔的研究人员之间的火山学合作研究，这些国家将对目标火山进行研究; 3）PI计划让代表性不足的波多黎各大学本科生实习生参与实地研究;以及4）学生在正在进行的MTU开发的和平队硕士国际计划中使用前视红外相机，该计划将MTU地质学学生嵌入拉丁美洲火山观测站作为其学习计划的一部分。*
