Dear MSA-talk members, Are you a grad student, postdoctoral researcher, or newly-minted faculty working on active volcanoes or their hazards (including any response)? AGU's 2024 Fall Meeting has a session JUST for you! CONVERSE (CONVerging on ERuption Science with Equity; https://conversecenter.org) knows that more diversity in disciplines, backgrounds, experiences, and ideas produces high-quality, interdisciplinary volcano research, and wants to give a platform to up-and-coming volcanologists! Whether you examine volcanic hazards from a scientific or social perspective, please consider submitting your abstract to Session V003: CONVERSE Emerging Researchers: Diverse Perspectives from New Voices in Volcano Science. Abstracts are due on 31 July. We hope to see you in DC! https://tinyurl.com/AGU24abs *----------------------------* *Session V003. CONVERSE Emerging Researchers: Diverse Perspectives from New Voices in Volcano Science* The CONVERSE (CONVerging on ERuption Science with Equity) Center is an NSF-funded group established to better integrate the various disciplines across the volcanological community. CONVERSE aims to maximize scientific return and increase communication and coordination between organizations tasked with volcano monitoring and academic researchers wanting to provide investigating support during eruption or blue-sky periods. In recognizing the need for greater involvement by researchers early in their careers, CONVERSE's Emerging Researchers Group provides opportunities for collaboration across sub-disciplines of volcano science and between institutions by fostering working relationships between emerging researchers and more senior scientists in their field. We invite contributions from Emerging Researchers from all disciplines of volcanology, with a particular emphasis towards studies of volcanic materials, hazards, and hazard mitigation—whether from an Earth Science, Social Science, Engineering, or Civil perspective. Contributions sharing the unique lived experiences and career trajectories of emerging volcanologists are also welcome. -- Melissa Scruggs, PhD https://volcano.doctor ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0930-2745 *I often work outside of typical business hours - please do not feel pressured to respond to this e-mail outside of your typical working hours.*
