************************************************************* From: Florent Bech <flo.bech@xxxxxxxxxx> ************************************************************* Dear Researchers/Professors, My name is Florent Bech. I am a French student who graduated with a Master's degree in June 2006, specializing in magmas and volcanoes in the Laboratory "Magmas et Volcans" (LMV) at Clermont-Ferrand ( http://wwwobs.univ-bpclermont.fr/lmv ). My earth science university curriculum focused on magmatology, geochemistry, experimental petrology, and volcanism. During these years of study, I was able to complement my classroom experience with ample time in the field and in the laboratory. I achieved two laboratory internships in the Laboratory "Magmas et Volcans": the first in 2005 with Ben Van Wik de Vries (b.vanwyk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ), which consisted in the study of debris avalanches by analogical modeling; and the second in 2006 with Tim Druitt (T.Druitt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ), which consisted in the study of bubble size distribution in pumices produced during the eruption of Soufrière Hills Volcano at Montserrat. The tools I have mainly used during these internships and my studies are: general and detailed field mapping, laboratory small scale analogue modelling (silicon, sand), photo interpretation (Envi, Surfer and Image J), vesicularity analysis through Scanning Electron Microscope and matlab programming. I have a wide range of interests and qualifications, and I am currently looking for a PhD focused on one of these topics: explosive volcanism, caldera formation and subsidence, pyroclastic flows/surges, debris avalanche triggering mechanisms and transport, lahar formation, magma rheology, structural evolution of volcanic edifices. I would like to apply for a PhD in the field of the volcanology allowing me to learn new laboratory techniques of study and thus to improve my knowledge in the field of the volcanology. I thus am looking for a researcher interested in having me as a PhD student. Of course I can send CV and transcripts. Thank you for your time and interest, Yours sincerely, Florent BECH. 19 rue des Cuffins 78 830 Bonnelles France. flo.bech@xxxxxxxxxx Tel: +336 87 77 93 18 ============================================================== To unsubscribe from the volcano list, send the message: signoff volcano to: listserv@xxxxxxx, or write to: volcano-request@xxxxxxxx To contribute to the volcano list, send your message to: volcano@xxxxxxxx Please do not send attachments. ==============================================================
