*Dear Colleagues,*
*You are invited to join a free webinar *on measurements of volcanic gases
using modern instrumentation and drones. The material presented will focus
on research projects from California, Central America and Italy. Details
and the registration link are below:
*[Webinar Title] Hot Gases, Cool Techniques: Measuring Carbon Isotopes at
Volcanoes*
* [Date/Time] Thursday, 7/26/2018, 8:00 a.m. PT / 11:00 a.m. ET *
*[Registration Link] *https://picarro.zoom.us/webina
r/register/WN_ONZIgAZaQtCkud3S4Bq7fw
*[Overview]* Volcanic degassing is an important indicator of deeper
processes occurring at active volcanoes. Carbon isotopes are important
tools which can provide a baseline from which to gauge future activity.
Whether collected from soil gas, fumaroles, or dense plume by aid of a
drone, volcanic gas samples contain enough carbon dioxide to allow
variations in the stable carbon isotopic ratios to be measured and
interpreted in terms of eruption potential.
This one-hour webinar will feature John Stix (Professor, McGill University)
and Fiona D’Arcy (PhD student, McGill University) joined by Gregor Lucic
(Application Scientist, Picarro) as they delve into three volcanoes. Carbon
isotopes have been measured at each with the use of the Picarro Cavity Ring
Down Spectrometers G1101-*i* and G2201-*i* deployed on location at these
hot spots.
· Gregor will introduce the Picarro technology which can facilitate
these measurements, and will share his experience at Long Valley caldera,
where he used a CRDS G1101-i instrument.
· John will discuss the usefulness and challenges overcome when
applying in-situ CRDS at Turrialba volcano, Costa Rica.
· Fiona will present the recent field campaign at Stromboli volcano
in Italy, where the samples collected by drone during the day were analyzed
nightly by CRDS and IRIS.
In addition to learning about the unique application of Picarro instruments
at volcanoes, imagery from the heart of these magnificent features will be
enough to captivate the adventurer in each of you!
*Note:* If you are not able to attend the live webinar, an *On-Demand
session* will be made available to registrants after the event.

Greetings,
Do you work at the interface between earth science and human health?
Please consider taking advantage in December of a unique opportunity to
present your work to a broad spectrum of colleagues with similar
interests. The American Geophysical Union (AGU) is celebrating its
one-hundredth anniversary with a meeting in Washington, D.C., 10-14
December 2018. The meeting will mark the launch of the AGU’s new GeoHealth
Section and will feature many special sessions on topics related to earth
science and human health. To encourage broad participation in the
GeoHealth sections, AGU has made it possible for non-AGU members to submit
GeoHealth abstracts and register for the meeting at member rates. In
addition, AGU members will not be subject to the usual one-abstract limit
if their second abstract is submitted to a GeoHealth session.
We hope these factors encourage you to consider contributing to the
GeoHealth special session that we are organizing, entitled:
*Learning from our Ancestors. Using modern earth science methods to
understand ancient practices.* Ancient societies interacted with their
natural environments in many ways. Taking the waters, imbuing certain
stones with special powers, and even ingesting soils for improved health
are practices that can be found around the world. Modern earth science
allows us to study these practices in greater detail in order to understand
their origins and evaluate their efficacy. Modern earth science methods
also make it possible for us to understand how ancient societies interacted
with the landscape in order to ensure a constant supply of food and water,
to secure shelter and protection and to obtain raw materials needed to make
tools and wage war. This session welcomes all contributions that allow us
to use earth science to understand and learn from the practices of our
ancestors.
So whether your primary discipline is medicine, archaeology, sociology,
anthropology, public health, agronomy, plant or animal science, ecology,
marine science or something we haven’t even listed here, please think about
submitting an abstract to our session.
*The deadline for submission of abstracts at the AGU website
(https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2018/welcome/
<https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2018/welcome/>) is Wednesday, 1 August 23:59
EDT, 2018.*
Please feel free to share this announcement with your colleagues and
students and to forward it to any relevant websites or listservs. Don´t
hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.
(If you are a non-AGU member, please contact Ken Verosub (
klverosub@xxxxxxxxxxx) *before *submitting your abstract.).
Thank you for your attention. We look forward to meeting you in D.C.

Colleagues,
Please consider contributing an abstract to the AGU 2018 Fall Meeting
Session
* on East African Rift magmatism.*
*Invited Speakers: Tyrone Rooney (Michigan State) and Katie Keranen
(Cornell)*
*Session ID:* 49407
*Session Title:* V026. Integrating perspectives on East African Rift
magmatism from satellite to subsurface measurements
*Session Description: *The East African Rift (EAR) System hosts hundreds of
active and extinct volcanoes that formed prior to and in close association
with continental rifting, offering an extraordinary opportunity to
investigate volcanic and magmatic processes in an active rift at different
stages of development. The rich history of Cenozoic magmatism in East
Africa can be investigated at different scales, from magma generation in
the deep Earth to the surficial expression of volcanism to satellite based
studies. This session aims to highlight new and innovative research
projects that bring together insights from geological, geochemical, and
geophysical data sets into a unified framework that will further our
understanding of EAR volcanism. We welcome contributions related to EAR
magma generation, storage and transport, volatile fluxes and emissions,
eruptive history, and volcano-tectonic interactions.
Remember that the deadline for all submissions is *Wednesday, 1
August 23:59 EDT.*
See you in D.C!

The Department of Geosciences at Boise State University, Physical
Volcanology and Petrology group, seeks a highly motivated student for a PhD
project on the petrogenesis of mafic ignimbrites.
The ideal candidate will have a Master’s Degree or significant
undergraduate research experience in petrology, geochemistry, or
volcanology. Fieldwork, analytical experience, and fluency in Spanish is
desirable.
This project is NSF-funded, with Research Assistant funding for 3 years.
For a full project description, see summary below. The ideal start date is
August 2018 or January 2019, to coincide with an early 2019 field season in
Chile.
If you have questions, please contact Dr. Dorsey Wanless (
DWanless@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) and Dr. Brittany Brand (
brittanybrand@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx).

graduate-college/
Project Summary:
Low-silica ‘mafic’ magmas are the most common magmas to erupt on Earth.
Because their viscosity is low, they usually form lava flows or weak
explosive eruptions. However, mafic-composition volcanoes can produce much
stronger, Plinian-style eruptions capable of dispersing ash fall over
thousands of square kilometers, and producing deadly, landscape-altering
ash flows that travel tens of kilometers from source. Despite their
potential impact, the mechanisms responsible for generating mafic, Plinian
eruptions are not understood. This project targets the 13.4_ka (~12 km3 DRE)
and ~12.6 ka (<1 km3 DRE) mafic eruptions at Volcán Llaima, Chile, which
produced extensive ash flow deposits found radially around the volcano. The
difference in eruption sizes permits investigation of processes that
promote large-volume, caldera-forming mafic eruptions versus smaller volume
Plinian mafic eruptions. A full suite of diverse but complimentary methods,
including petrology, geochemistry, physical volcanology, decompression
experiments, and rheology experiments, allows the research team to address
the broad, fundamental research question of what magmatic and crustal
conditions promote and trigger mafic, Plinian eruptions.
