1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Sarah Fagents <fagents@xxxxxxxxxx> 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 Announcing the 2019 NASA Planetary Volcanology Workshop, July 11-17, HawaiÊ»i: Analogs to Volcanic Features and Processes in Satellite and Rover Images This field workshop is sponsored by NASA, and will provide field experience on KÄ«lauea Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea, and HualÄ?lai volcanoes. We will study volcanic features analogous to those on Mars that have been imaged recently by CTX, THEMIS, HRSC, HiRISE, CaSSIS, CRISM, and the MER and MSL rovers, comparing their field characteristics to their appearance in remotely-sensed images. Particular features include lava flows, eruptive vents, pit craters, and faults. Volcano-sedimentary features include gully-wash and landslide deposits of both primary volcanic material (ash) and lava debris. The workshop will be almost exclusively field-based, with excursions (by vehicle and by foot) to locations on multiple volcanoes that are particularly instructive with regard to their value as Mars analogs. Pele and â??Ai LÄ?â??au are resting at the moment, so the chance of observing active lava flows is small. This is a FIELD workshop, and there will be some long (perhaps rainy and/or hot) hikes. This workshop is intended for NASA-funded senior graduate students who already have a background in volcanology and are currently working on volcanology problems on Mars (or any other planet besides Earth), but are in need of field experience on volcanoes. All expenses, including travel, will be covered, although it will be done on a reimbursement basis. Please note that although U.S. citizenship is not required, all applicants MUST be students at, or employees of, a U.S. University or Institution, AND their current study or work must be funded by a NASA planetary research program. Because space is limited, preference will be given to graduate students, but post-docs may also be accepted. Previous Planetary Volcanology Workshop participants cannot be considered. To apply, please send electronically to the address below: 1) a letter (not to exceed 1 page) stating the reasons why this workshop would benefit you in your current and/or future research - please be specific; 2) a current resume, also not to exceed 1 page; 3) contact information including e-mail address, phone number, and mailing address; and 4) a letter of reference from your advisor or employer, also not to exceed 1 page, stating your capabilities, how these capabilities would be improved by attendance at this workshop (please be specific), and certifying that you are indeed currently funded by NASA to conduct planetary research. Send all material by April 22, 2019 to Sarah Fagents: fagents@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Selection will be based on the following criteria: -Clear indication of current Mars volcanology research -Clear indication of background knowledge of volcanology combined with a need for field experience Questions?
