Cities on Volcanoes 7: Advanced Understanding of Volcanic Hazard Mitigation for Graduate Students

该奖项将支持20名美国研究生参加2012年11月在墨西哥科利马举行的火山城市（COV）会议。这次会议的目的是打破火山学家、社会科学家、应急管理人员、规划人员和工程师之间的传统分歧。火山城市会议有一个多学科的重点，主题和会议计划将所有这些学科的专家和学生聚集在一起，了解火山危害及其对社会的影响。因此，这是一个特殊的机会，年轻的科学家在不同的，但相关的，学科学习和建立网络作为他们未来的职业生涯的基础。这个会议支持奖将提供20个领先的研究生从美国与一个杰出的机会，建立和扩大他们的专业网络跨越学科和国际边界。这次会议特别适合处于专业发展早期阶段的科学家。学生参与者将会见广泛的专业人士，包括应急管理人员，社会学家和心理学家，规划师，医学科学家和经济学家。学会克服文化和语言差异，理解清晰沟通的必要性将是会议的一个特点。

This award will support the travel and participation of 20 US graduate students in the Cities on Volcanoes (COV) conference to be held in Colima, Mexico during November 2012. The aim of this conference is to break down the traditional divisions between volcanologists, social scientists, emergency managers, planners and engineers. The Cities on Volcanoes conference has a multidisciplinary focus with themes and sessions planned to throw together specialists and students in all of these disciplines that are involved in understanding volcano hazards and their impacts on society. As such it is a special opportunity for young scientists in disparate, yet related, disciplines to learn and to build networks as a basis for their future careers.This conference support award will provide 20 leading graduate students from the USA with an outstanding opportunity to build and expand their professional networks across disciplines and international boundaries. This meeting is particularly appropriate for scientists at the early stages of their professional development. The student participants will meet a wide set of professionals, including emergency managers, sociologists and psychologists, planners, medical scientists, and economists. Learning to surmount cultural and linguistic differences and understanding the need for clear communication will be a feature of the meeting.
