2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 From: "Loewen, Matthew W" <mloewen@xxxxxxxx> Dear colleagues, We are excited to have a Mendenhall Postdoc opportunity advertised to study large explosive eruptions in the Alaska-Aleutian arc via ocean core records and source volcanoes. The goal of the project is to characterize the geochemical character of sources of large explosive volcanism on the Alaska-Aleutian arc and use that record to better interpret tephra from Gulf of Alaska cores. Ultimately, we hope for this project to better characterize a record of large explosive volcanism in Alaska beyond the limited Holocene record available terrestrially near source volcanoes. Applicants can craft proposals to fit their interests, utilizing novel analytical techniques to characterize rocks, statistical procedures to correlate deposits, and investigate other available ocean or terrestrial core records. https://www.usgs.gov/centers/mendenhall/19-14-frequency-and-sources-largest-explosive-eruptions-alaska-ocean-core Please see the job advertisement for required qualifications: https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/580469700 If you are interested, please feel free to contact any of the research advisors on this project to learn more.
