1st NEMOH Marie Curie Open Day

23 February 2013

The first NEMOH Open Day was held at 23 February 2013, a sunny Saturday directly following the network school. During this day the NEMOH fellows introduced high school students, university undergraduates and the interested public to aspects of general volcanology and their research topics as well as EU Marie-Curie programs. For this the NEMOH fellows, greatly helped by many of the external participants of the network school, organized a round-tour with volcano videos, simulations of volcanic eruptions, a collection of volcanic rocks with thin-sections and descriptive demonstrations and experiments for all levels. Especially the school kids (but not only them!) were excited to create and listen their own earthquakes, watch a small geyser in action or explore rheological and frictional properties in hands-on demonstrations and the many more actions. Two public guided tours through the laboratories of experimental volcanology at LMU rounded up the program of the first NEMOH Open Day.
