CONVERSE Scenario Building Workshop The goal of this year’s CSBI is to bring together students of volcano science to develop a scenario for the science response to the run-up to and eruption of an arc volcano. The development of eruption scenarios is important for volcano science because they advance our understanding of pre- and syn-eruptive processes and highlight the open science questions. Participants of the CSBI will work in an in-person and interdisciplinary setting to develop the geophysical and geochemical signals that lead up to the simulated eruption and the observables that will represent the eruption as it evolves. The eruption scenario will be based on a realistic framework of events but students collectively can determine the evolution and outcome of the eruption. The resulting materials will be used in a community exercise in the future (later this year or early next) and the CSBI participants will be encouraged to take leadership roles during the exercise. As part of the CSBI, participants will have the opportunity to complete the one-day FEMA-certified course on Volcanic Crisis Awareness. *The Deadline for application is May 8. You will be notified by May 16. * *Dates: *University of New Mexico Campus from July 9 (evening) to July 15 (morning), 2023 *Eligibility: *We will aim to have a broad representation of the subdisciplines of volcanology. We hope to pair experienced students with less experienced students, to encourage peer-to-peer mentoring. Special consideration for applicants from institutions without volcanology programs and those without R1 designation. *Accommodations: *CONVERSE will support travel to Albuquerque, lodging on campus (single rooms in 4-bedroom apartments), meals, and a $500 stipend for up to 14 participants. https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FfiAXyq4d7PBr56WN6&data=05%7C01%7Cmmurphy1%40nmsu.edu%7C487373cb79934ed91cbe08db44e396d6%7Ca3ec87a89fb84158ba8ff11bace1ebaa%7C1%7C0%7C638179516516755532%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=zxSOvDwpr5gDX8JBiunQNtZtV3tIB5zaMRZW%2B4gvFfM%3D&reserved=0 -- Michael Murphy (He/Him/His) Graduate Student New Mexico State University Las Cruces, NM
