Jack Kleinman was a USGS employee at the David A. Johnston Cascades Volcano Observatory who died in a kayaking accident in 1994. By supporting field-oriented research projects in volcanology, the Kleinman Grants memorialize Jackâ??s exuberance for fieldwork, volcanoes, and the natural world. During the past 26 years, the program has helped more than 100 aspiring volcanologists who seek to learn more about volcanoes, how they work, and how to mitigate the associated hazards. One of the goals of the fund is to strengthen partnerships between volcanology students and scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey through projects of mutual interest. This yearâ??s awardees are (alphabetically): *Abigail Nalesnik*, Masterâ??s student at the University of Delaware (advisers Kendra Lynn and Jessica Warren) working on â??A physical and geochemical investigation of glasses from the explosive Kulanaokuaiki Tephra (400-1000 CE) of KiÌ?lauea Volcano, Hawaiâ??i.â?? *Charles (Chuck) Lewis*, PhD student at Oregon State University (adviser Shan de Silva) working on â??Fayalite in Newberry Volcano rhyolitic magmas: Implications for pre-eruptive storage.â?? *Claire Ruggles*, PhD student at the University of WisconsinÂâ??Madison (adviser Basil Tikoff) working on â??Direct and indirect observations of magma chambers in continental magmatic arc settings [Duncan Hill pluton in the North Cascades and Laguna del Maule].â?? *Jacqueline Giblin*, PhD student at Arizona State University (advisers Amanda Clarke and Kip Hodges) working on â??Constraining the plumbing system dynamics of the most recent volcanic eruption [El Cajete] from Valles Caldera, New Mexico.â?? *Jessica (Jessie) Bersson*, PhD student at Arizona State University (advisers Christy Till and Amanda Clarke) working on â??Investigating secondary explosion pits on the Banco Bonito rhyolite flow, New Mexico.â?? *Justin Crevier*, undergraduate student at Boise State University (adviser Brittany Brand) working on â??Pre-Plinian Perplexity: Constraining the Transition from the Blast to Plinian phases of the 18 May 1980 Mount St Helens Eruption.â?? *Katherine Hewitt*, PhD student at UC Davis (adviser Kari Cooper) working on â??Resolving ambiguous formation relationships of the Central Plateau Member, Yellowstone Plateau Volcanic Field with field and geochemical tools.â?? *Margaret (Maggie) Holahan*, Masterâ??s student at Boise State University (adviser Jeffrey Johnson) working on â??Monitoring Steamboat Geyser [Yellowstone] using remote infrasound sensing.â?? *Rose Gallo*, PhD student at the University of Hawai'i at MÄ?noa (adviser Thomas Shea) working on â??Sampling the ca. 1790 CE lavas of KiÌ?laueaâ??s Lower East Rift Zone for geochemical analysis and carbon-14 dating.â?? Congratulations to this yearâ??s awardees, and we wish them well on their research projects in the upcoming field season. 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 ------------------------------
