Subject: Tenerife International Training Course on Volcano Monitoring
*******************************************************************************************************
Considering a career in Volcano Monitoring? Instituto Volcanológico de Canarias (INVOLCAN), Universidad de La Laguna (ULL) and GeoTenerife Ltd. are happy the announce the Tenerife International Training Course on Volcano Monitoring, which will be held in Tenerife from March 22 to March 28 2018. The course will bed evoted to undergraduate students, but graduate students are welcome. It will also provide 2 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) from Universidad de La Laguna (ULL).
The aim of this course is to introduce students to Volcano Monitoring "hands on" by alternating lectures with practical laboratory and field activities. Lessons will be given by researchers with an international scientific background and first-hand experience of Volcano Monitoring.
The monitoring of volcanoes is now a highly multidisciplinary field which covers different disciplines. The course topics will include Seismology (basic theory and analysis of seismo-volcanic events), Geodesy (measurement and modeling 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 practical demonstrations of geochemical measurements out in the field. Two field trips will be done to 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.
Teaching will be in English from an international panel of experts from Spain, Italy, UK, Japan and Iceland.
The maximum number of students is 40.
