Workshops on Volcanoes II: Masaya Volcano, Nicaragua February 2019

互动式科学和教育研讨会将于2019年2月在马萨亚火山（尼加拉瓜）举行。会议将汇集研究生，博士后研究人员和早期职业教师，以获得收集，处理和解释基于地面和卫星的火山过程观测的实践经验，并将为学生，早期职业教师和国际合作者提供身临其境的网络机会。讲习班将包括初步（讲习班前）部署、讲习班期间的持续实地研究、讲座和介绍以及数据分析。在美国举行的后续小型研讨会将使研讨会的主要研究者能够完成数据分析、整合和出版。该讲习班是计划举办的一系列创新讲习班中的第二个，这些讲习班涉及对选定的开放式喷口火山系统进行有针对性的研究。马萨亚火山是举办该讲习班的理想地点，因为那里目前有一个动态的、容易进入的熔岩湖。火山活动可以通过一系列地球物理数据收集来检验，包括地震、次声、大地测量、光学、热以及地基紫外线和微波传感。它还提供了一个理想的机会，将来自卫星平台的遥感观测（例如，大地测量、气体、光学和热），并进行地面观测。科学计划将通过动手演示和集中讨论，重点关注数据采集，处理和分析技术。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

An interactive scientific and educational workshop will be held at Masaya Volcano (Nicaragua) in February of 2019. The meeting will bring together graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and early career faculty to gain hands-on experience with collection, processing, and interpretation of ground- and satellite-based observations of volcanic processes, and will provide an immersive networking opportunity for students, early career faculty and international collaborators. The workshop will entail an initial (pre-workshop) deployment, ongoing field study during the workshop, lectures and presentations, and data analysis. A follow-up mini-workshop in the US will allow the workshop PIs to complete data analysis, integration, and publication. This workshop is the second in a planned series of innovative workshops involving targeted study of select open-vent volcanic systems.Masaya Volcano is the ideal locale for this workshop owing to the current presence of a dynamic and easily accessible lava lake. The volcanic activity is amenable to a range of geophysical data collection, including seismic, infrasonic, geodetic, optical, thermal, and ground-based UV and microwave sensing. It also presents an ideal opportunity the integration of remote sensing observations from satellite platforms (e.g., geodetic, gas, optical and thermal), with ground-based observations. The scientific program will focus on data acquisition, processing, and analysis techniques through hands-on demonstration and focused discussion. Novel scientific insights are expected from integration of diverse data sets.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
