************************************************************************************************
Additional enthusiastic students required to assist with research and
monitoring at Volcán de Colima, Mexico. The minimum period is usually 2
months, but those who can stay longer have priority. Successful applicants
will have the opportunity to join the team and participate in various
projects covering a variety of aspects, one major goal being a dynamic
model to explain the volcano's behaviour. Time will be spent assisting with
field and lab work, including: routine collection of thermal and gas data,
water samples, maintenance of installed sensors, development of new
systems, geophysical surveys etc. Analysis will be carried out of a variety
of data types. Applicants should have or be working towards a degree in
earth science or physics with some field experience. Some knowledge of
Spanish would be useful, and a reasonable level of fitness is necessary for
hiking at altitude. There is a particular demand for applicants with some
programming experience, principally Matlab, and for webpage development.
There may be the possibility to visit some of Mexico's other active
volcanoes for other projects.
This is an excellent opportunity to obtain experience working on an active
and currently erupting volcano and to use various field, laboratory and
analysis techniques. It could be of great benefit to someone waiting to
enter graduate studies in volcanology. No salary can be paid, but cheap
accommodation is available. Colima is a great place to spend a few months.

Varley, Centre of Exchange and Research in Volcanology, Facultad de
Ciencias, Universidad de Colima at nick@ucol(dot)mx.
