CAREER:Education and Research in Earthquakes and Volcanic Directed Blasts

这个提议结合了流体力学和地震学来解决两个问题：(1)远距离地震的触发和(2)火山爆发的动力学。在这一过程中，本科生和研究生将接受严格的、但又容易获得的、以量化物理为基础的教育。建议的具体任务是：1.通过以下方式向本科生教授以物理为基础的地质学：a.将学生带入活跃的野外研究环境；b.将现代仪器带入课堂；c.设计新的物理火山学课程；d.指导本科生研究助理2.以限制区域尺度地震的触发机制。用孔压数据库测量地震引起的渗透率和孔隙度的变化使用地震目录和波形确定触发条件c。利用重复地震数据将流体流动与触发地震活动联系起来。通过以下方法量化火山定向爆炸的形成：a.模拟可压缩喷流坍塌的机制b.测量火山滑坡的底摩擦力

EAR-0238455Emily E. BrodskyThis proposal combines fluid mechanics and seismology to attack two problems: (1) the triggering of distant earthquakes and (2) the dynamics of volcanic blasts. In the process, undergraduate and graduate students will be provided with rigorous, yet accessible, quantitative physics-based education. The specific tasks proposed are:1. To teach physics-based geology to undergraduates by: a. Bringing students into an active field research environment b. Bringing modern instrumentation into the classroom c. Designing a new physical volcanology course d. Mentoring undergraduate research assistants2. To constrain the mechanisms for regional-scale earthquake triggering bya. Measuring seismically-induced permeability and porosity changes with pore pressure datab. Determining conditions for triggering using earthquake catalogs and waveformsc. Linking fluid flow and triggered seismicity using repeated earthquake data3. To quantify the formation of volcanic directed blasts by: a. Modeling the mechanism of compressible jet collapse b. Measuring the basal friction of a volcanic landslide
