AGU Chapman Conference on Submarine Volcanism

爆炸性火山爆发在地球上的许多地方都是严重的危险，特别是在那些与俯冲带有关的地区，例如沿着美国西北海岸、阿拉斯加南部海岸、沿着南美洲和中美洲西部海岸以及“火环”的西太平洋部分。 这些喷发所涉及的过程和机制尚不清楚;这次研讨会是查普曼会议，隶属于美国地球物理联盟地球科学家专业协会，重点是将国际专家和早期职业研究人员聚集在一起，传播信息，讨论挑战，并集思广益可能创造性的新方法，以提高我们对陆上和海底火山活动的理解，重点是爆炸性火山系统。该奖项的资金将用于支持美国早期职业科学家的旅行和参与，并增加来自各种美国和国际来源的资金，包括来自澳大利亚和三个国际专业协会的资金。 研讨会为期四天，是一次高度互动的查普曼会议，将在塔斯马尼亚州霍巴特的塔斯马尼亚大学举行，由一个包括美国、新西兰和澳大利亚科学家在内的国际委员会组织，这些科学家都是海底或陆地火山活动领域的领导者。 讲习班的更广泛影响包括传播科学信息和专门知识以及规划项目，以帮助更好地了解海底和陆地火山活动，其结果可供位于人口中心附近的火山观测站和火山监测系统使用，为灾害规划提供信息。 其他影响包括开展国际合作，编写一份报告和一本专著或专题科学期刊，向科学界和公众更广泛地传播所介绍的信息和与讲习班有关的信息。对美国早期职业研究人员在海底火山作用领域的支持也将有助于建立美国在这一科学领域的能力。

Explosive volcanic eruptions are serious hazards in many places on Earth, in particular in those areas associated with subduction zones such as those along the northwest coast of the US, the southern coast of Alaska, along the western coasts of South and Central America, and the western Pacific portion of the "Ring of Fire". The processes involved and mechanisms by which these eruptions take place are not well understood; and this workshop, a Chapman Conference, which is affiliated with the American Geophysical Union professional society of geoscientists, focuses on bringing together international experts and early career researchers to disseminate information, discuss challenges, and brainstorm possible creative new ways of improving our understanding of both subaerial and submarine volcanism, with an emphasis on explosive volcanic systems. The funds from this award will be spent to support the travel and participation of US early career scientists and augment funds from a variety of US and international sources, including those from Australia and from three international professional societies. The workshop, a four-day highly interactive Chapman Conference, will be held at the University of Tasmania in Hobart, Tasmania and is being organized by an international committee that includes US, New Zealand, and Australian scientists, all leaders in the field of submarine or terrestrial volcanism. Broader impacts of the workshop include disseminating scientific information and expertise and planning projects to help better understand submarine and terrestrial volcanism, the results of which can be used by volcano observatories and volcano monitoring systems situated near population centers to provide information for hazard planning. Additional impacts include international collaboration and the production of a report and a monograph or themed scientific journal issue to disseminate the information presented and related to the workshop more broadly to the scientific community and public. Support of early career US researchers in the field of submarine volcanism will also help build US capacity in this area of science.
