*Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Geochemistry – Earth/Planetary Processes*
The Department of Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences at Brown
University (*http://www.brown.edu/academics/earth-environmental-planetary-sciences/
<http://www.brown.edu/academics/earth-environmental-planetary-sciences/>*)
invites applications for a tenure-track faculty appointment in geochemistry.
Any analytical, experimental and theoretical/computational approach to
understanding the origin and chemical evolution of the Earth and planets
will be considered. Some examples include, but are not limited to,
cosmochemistry, planetary petrology, non-traditional stable isotope
geochemistry, early Earth evolution, volcanology, and interactions of
planetary materials with hydrospheres and atmospheres. Preference will be
given to candidates whose strengths complement departmental research
expertise in Geochemistry and Petrology, Planetary Geoscience, Geophysics,
and Climate and Environment. We seek scientists whose research integrates
field observations, geochemical analyses, experimental studies, and
geochemical theory and/or modeling. We are interested in scientists whose
research transcends traditional boundaries in geochemistry, such as between
high-temperature and low-temperature geochemistry, geochemistry and
geophysics, and terrestrial and planetary. The successful candidate will
maintain an active, externally funded research program and enjoy a
commitment to teaching at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
Appointment will be at the Assistant Professor level. A Ph.D. degree is
required, and postdoctoral experience is considered important.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vita, descriptions of research and
teaching interests and a list of at least three potential referees via the
website http://www.interfolio.com/apply/34413. Inquiries and other
communications may be directed to: *DEEPS@xxxxxxxxx
<DEEPS@xxxxxxxxx>.* *Applications
received by November 1st, 2018 will receive full consideration, but the
search will remain open until the position is closed or filled. The start
date for this position is July 1st, 2019. *For more information visit:

Dear colleagues,
You are receiving this email as you are currently listed as member of the
Commission on Tephra hazard modelling (http://www.ct.ingv.it/iavcei/
mailing-list.htm). As new leaders of the Commission, we would like to put
some renewed energy into the group and its activity!
In light of that we are thinking that the upcoming Cities on Volcanoes
conference will be an ideal place to meet face-to-face and start to discuss
the most urgent and open issues about the group. In principle we should
review the members (is somebody missing, not interested anymore, are all
the contacts updated?) and then have a view on the road map for the next
couple of years.
So, we kindly invite you to consider to attend our open chat
on Tuesday Sept 4th (directly after the session S01.26 - Volcanic ash: from
monitoring to impacts - we are planning to stay in the same room as the
session) to go through these points. We know this communication is on short
notice but we are hoping you all will find some time to meet the group.
Please let us know your willingness to participate (and to keep being part
of the commission) by replying to this Doodle Poll: https://doodle.com/poll/
z7ti45ftv649ugpf
Even if you are not attending the CoV10 meeting, please fill out the doodle
poll so that your voice can be heard.
Thanks in advance for your contributions,

Please join us at Cities on Volcanoes in Naples for a meeting of the IAVCEI
Commission on Volcanic Hazards and Risk.
We will meet on *Tuesday 4th September, between 7.15 to 8.45. pm in the
Corsica room*. Join us to learn more about recent Commission-sponsored
activities and planned future activities. Agenda items include:
-Working Group on Hazard Mapping updates (Note the Monday 11 am
session S01.21 - State of the Volcanic Hazard Map will also include time
for discussion)
-Working Group on Communication updates
-Future 'benchmarking of Pyroclastic Density Current models' workshops
Please email hwright@xxxxxxxx if you have additional agenda items you would
like to add.
In addition, the first IAVCEI-GVM workshop (co-sponsored by the Commission
on Volcanic Hazards and Risk) “From Volcanic Hazard to Risk Assessment”
took place in Geneva on 27-29 June 2018 with the main goal being to
evaluate the state of the art of risk assessment in volcanology and
identify research priorities as an opportunity for research scientists to
engage with DRR and to work across disciplines (
http://www.unige.ch/hazards/iavcei-gvm-workshop-2018/). On *Thursday
September 6th (1:45-2:30pm in the Capri room)* we will meet to discuss
future workshops and activities and how these activities can be integrated
within the work of IAVCEI commissions. Contact Costanza Bonadonna for more
information.

As a retired oceanographer, I am downsizing to move into a senior community
and must now dispose of most of my home library collections. Among them is
a complete original set of the “Catalogue of the Active Volcanoes of the
World Including Solfatara Fields”, the vintage, numbered series from 1951
thru 1967 edited by the International Volcanological Association. I desire
to sell these volumes as a complete set, but as second choice would
consider donating the set to a public university library or other U.S.
non-profit entity for which the donation can be considered deductible on my
U.S. income tax submission for the year. Since only 1000 copies of these
volumes were originally printed, I assume a fair selling price should be
quite high, but I have no idea how high. If I donate the set, I would need
a reasonable appraisal of the value. In either case, I ask anyone
interested in either buying or representing a non-profit to contact me
(Wayne Olsen) at oceanguyolsen@xxxxxxxxxxx. All volumes are in excellent
condition.
As a confirmed volcano enthusiast since childhood in the 1950’s, I have
numerous other volcano-related publications that I would like to sell
individually. For a list of available items, please email me at the same
address above.

Dear Colleagues,
Special Issue on Urban Disaster Risk Reduction in Sustainability an Open
Access Journal by MDPI (Impact Factor 2.075).
This Special Issue invites contributions on multidisciplinary aspects of
natural disasters that strike urban areas. Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes,
flooding and climate- forcing extreme events are among the most common
natural disasters that can strike urban areas. We are particularly looking
for contributions that compare disasters occurring in urban regions to
those that are associated with rural areas. In addition to descriptive
contributions, this Special Issue invites works on how natural disasters
impact economic, logistical or supply chain operations in urban regions. We
would also like to include case studies on recent natural disasters that
have hit urban regions and the responses of the local authorities
(governments and NGOs). This Special Issue is also open to contributions
that deal with disaster prevention or long- term geoeducational aspects to
communicate and mitigate natural disaster risks for urban populations.
Manuscripts of particularly-interesting perspectives, such as geoheritage,
geoconservation and geoeducation relating to sustainable urban development
would also be relevant to this Special Issue.

Colleagues,
The School of Environment at the University of Auckland (UoA) is seeking a
dynamic early career researcher to take up a 3-year fixed-term Postdoctoral
Fellowship in the interdisciplinary area of volcanic hazard map
development, design and communication.
The successful candidate will join Jan Lindsay, Mary Anne Thompson and
Michael Martin from UoA and Graham Leonard from GNS Science to *explore a
fit-for-purpose volcanic hazard mapping framework for New Zealand.*
The aim of this project is to combine research and scholarship on map
design and cartography with lessons from both New Zealand and international
volcanic hazard mapping experiences to develop, test and implement an
operational framework for volcanic hazard map development in New Zealand to
improve hazard communication before, during and after a crisis. The
candidate will assist our current efforts to develop a preliminary
multi-agency framework for volcanic hazard map development and then apply
the framework to a case study volcano in New Zealand. The preliminary
framework will be evaluated through qualitative methods (e.g., interviews
or focus groups with key stakeholders), and the case study results will be
tested (for example, through a table-top exercise or empirical research
study), to determine whether the resultant map and associated products are
fit for purpose and meet their communication and messaging goals.
The research will feed into the development of an *operational framework
for volcanic hazard map development in New Zealand, *a flexible workflow
that can be implemented across all New Zealand volcanoes for all types of
hazard maps. The project will be fully integrated with hazard mapping
research and hazard map development at GNS Science. GNS Science runs the
GeoNet monitoring programme, which includes volcano monitoring, setting of
volcanic alert levels and delivery of alert bulletins that often include
maps during eruptions.
The area of hazard communication is rapidly gaining attention as an
important and priority area of future research worldwide. The successful
candidate will join our New Zealand based team to work on the project
described above as well as other transdisciplinary research projects in the
growing field of hazard and risk communication.
The successful candidate will have a PhD in Geography, GIS, or related
field (e.g. Volcanology), and a track record of research as demonstrated by
scholarly publications. They will have experience in qualitative and
quantitative social science research methods; experience in cartography
and/or communications research and an openness to engage with stakeholders.
An understanding of volcanic processes and hazards will be very
beneficial.
