Subject: TENERIFE INTERNATIONAL TRAINING COURSE ON VOLCANO MONITORING
********************************************************************************************************
The Instituto Volcanológico de Canarias (INVOLCAN) & The University of La Laguna (ULL) are co-organizing the TENERIFE INTERNATIONAL TRAINING COURSE ON VOLCANO MONITORING (http://www.involcan.org/tenerife-international-training-course-on-volcano-monitoring/ ) which will take place at Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain) from April 3 to 9, 2017. The aim of this course is to introduce undergraduate students (graduate students are also welcome) to the subject of volcano monitoring “hands on” by alternating lectures with practical laboratory and field activities. Lessons will be given by scientists of research institutions from Italy, Spain and United Kingdom having an international scientific background and first-hand experience on volcano monitoring. Nowadays monitoring of volcanoes is a highly multidisciplinary field which covers different discipline.
The course topics will cover seismology (basic theory and analysis of seismo-volcanic events), geodesy (measurement and modelling of ground deformation), geochemistry (collection, analysis and interpretation of fluids samples) as well as other topics (thermal imagery, volcano infrasound, methods for eruption forecasting). Field activities include visits to the monitoring networks managed by INVOLCAN, as well as in practical demonstrations of geochemical measurements on the field. Two field trips will be done at Teide volcano and Las Cañadas caldera and to outcrops of volcanic successions all around the island.
The prerequisites for attending this course are basic skills in Earth Sciences, as well as basic knowledge of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. The course language will be English and those students who will attend this course will be able to obtain to 2 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) from The University of La laguna. The cost of this training course is 600 €, and it will cover tuition + accommodation for two students in a double room on a half board basis. Please for further information contact Dr. Luca D'Auria (ldauria@xxxxxxx).
