U.S.-Philippines: First International Decade Volcano Workshop on Taal, Luzon, Philippines, March 27-April 1, 1995

9413343 Self该奖项提供资金，允许夏威夷大学地质与地球物理系的Stephen Self博士与Raymundo S. Punongbayan，Ronnie C.托雷斯和Eddie Listanco博士，菲律宾火山和地震研究所（PHIVOLCS），美国-第一个国际十年火山塔尔问题讲习班，菲律宾吕宋岛。 除了上述美国和菲律宾协调员外，还向10名美国地质学相关领域的专家提供了支助。 另有约24名菲律宾参与者得到其他来源的支助。 该讲习班将汇集国际和当地的专门知识，以多学科方法解决塔尔火山固有的火山学问题。 这些问题包括安山质破火山口岩浆活动、大破火山口的增量增长、湍流大体积火山碎屑流、蒸汽岩浆喷发和底潮、活动火山岛和潜在活动破火山口的监测以及区域构造应变对火山活动和破火山口发育的影响。 关于塔尔火山的十年火山讲习班是及时的，完全符合国际减少自然灾害十年的目标。 塔尔火山被指定为“十年火山”，是全球12至15座火山之一，因为它的属性被认为是菲律宾约200座火山中最危险的。 这些属性包括频繁的活动，最大数量的危险元素，该地区人口密度高，交通便利，以及复杂而鲜为人知的火山学。 PI和菲律宾协调员在该提案领域的研究享有盛誉。 该项目与东亚和太平洋计划的目标有关，该计划旨在通过交流科学信息，思想，技能和技术以及通过在共同利益和利益问题上的合作来提高美国和发展中国家科学家和工程师之间的合作水平。 ***

9413343 Self This award provides funds to permit Dr. Stephen Self, Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Hawaii, to plan and conduct with Dr. Raymundo S. Punongbayan, Mr. Ronnie C. Torres, and Dr. Eddie Listanco, Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), the U.S.-Philippines First International Decade Volcano Workshop on Taal, Luzon, Philippines. Support is provided for 10 U.S. scientists who are specialists in relevant areas of geology in addition to the aforementioned U.S. and Philippine coordinators. Some 24 other Philippine participants are supported from other sources. The workshop will bring together international and local expertise in a multidisciplinary approach to volcanological problems inherent in Taal volcano. These problems include andesitic caldera magmatism, incremental growth of large calderas, turbulent large-volume pyroclastic flows, phreatomagmatic eruptions and base surges, monitoring of active Volcano Island and the potentially active caldera, and influence of regional tectonic strain on volcanism and caldera development. The Decade Volcano Workshop on Taal is timely and fits well into the goals of the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction. Taal volcano was designated as a "Decade Volcano," one of 12 to 15 worldwide, because its attributes are regarded as the most dangerous among some 200 Philippine volcanoes. These attributes include frequent activity, greatest number of elements at risk, high population density in the region, excellent accessibility, and a complicated and little understood volcanology. The PI and the Philippine Coordinators have excellent reputations for their research in the field of this proposal. This project is relevant to the objectives of the East Asia and Pacific Program which seeks to increase the level of cooperation between U.S. and developing country scientists and engineers through the exchange of scientific information, ideas, skills, and techniques a nd through collaboration on problems of mutual interest and benefit. ***
