This NASA-sponsored workshop will provide field-based experience on Hawaiian volcanoes. The workshop will be held from July 11-17, 2019. Participants will study volcanic features analogous to those on Mars that have been imaged recently by orbiter and rover missions, comparing their field characteristics to their appearance in remotely-sensed images. The workshop is intended for NASA-funded senior graduate students who are currently working on volcanology problems on Mars (or any other planet besides Earth), but are in need of field experience on volcanoes.
All expenses, including travel, will be covered on a reimbursement basis. Please note that although U.S. citizenship is not required, all applicants MUST be students or employees at a U.S. University or Institution, AND their current study or work must be funded by a NASA planetary research program. Because space is limited, preference will be given to graduate students, but post-docs may also be accepted. Previous Planetary Volcanology Workshop participants cannot be considered.
For more information and application instructions, please contact Sarah Fagents (fagents@hawaii.edu, 808-956-3163).
Application deadline is April 22, 2019.
