Instruction for accepted applicants
NEMOH Field School, 22-29 August 2014, in Iceland - REPORT
Volcano Deformation and Magmatic Processes
The NEMOH Field School "Volcano Deformation and Magmatic Processes" will take place in South Iceland at Hotel Leirubakki, close the Hekla volcano, 22-29 August 2014.
The school will focus on how various measurements of crustal deformation at volcanoes can be used to learn about magmatic processes through modelling of observed deformation. At the same time volcanic process and effusive and explosive activity of Icelandic volcanoes will be addressed by using opportunities for field visits. Approach to study and monitoring of Icelandic volcanoes through the FutureVolc European research project will be covered. A geothermal power plant will be visited and the links between volcanology and geothermal applications explored.
The school is aimed at Early Stage Researchers and PhD students. The students will be introduced to techniques for measuring volcano deformation and interpretation of results through modelling. These measurements will be linked to the internal processes of volcanoes, as well as their eruptive products (lavas and tephra). Practical exercises will be carried out, including field trips to Mt. Hekla and the Eastern and Western volcanic zones. Reading material will be provided, which participants are expected to read prior to arrival.
The number of participants will be limited to 30.
Participation of all NEMOH Early Stage Researchers (18) is expected, but applications from outside NEMOH are welcome (12 places anticipated). Participants will be selected on the basis of the relevance of the school for their current research themes.
Only participants registering for the whole school will be considered.
