Explosive volcanic eruptions are serious hazards in many places on Earth, in particular in those areas associated with subduction zones such as those along the northwest coast of the US, the southern coast of Alaska, along the western coasts of South and Central America, and the western Pacific portion of the "Ring of Fire". The processes involved and mechanisms by which these eruptions take place are not well understood; and this workshop, a Chapman Conference, which is affiliated with the American Geophysical Union professional society of geoscientists, focuses on bringing together international experts and early career researchers to disseminate information, discuss challenges, and brainstorm possible creative new ways of improving our understanding of both subaerial and submarine volcanism, with an emphasis on explosive volcanic systems. The funds from this award will be spent to support the travel and participation of US early career scientists and augment funds from a variety of US and international sources, including those from Australia and from three international professional societies. The workshop, a four-day highly interactive Chapman Conference, will be held at the University of Tasmania in Hobart, Tasmania and is being organized by an international committee that includes US, New Zealand, and Australian scientists, all leaders in the field of submarine or terrestrial volcanism. Broader impacts of the workshop include disseminating scientific information and expertise and planning projects to help better understand submarine and terrestrial volcanism, the results of which can be used by volcano observatories and volcano monitoring systems situated near population centers to provide information for hazard planning. Additional impacts include international collaboration and the production of a report and a monograph or themed scientific journal issue to disseminate the information presented and related to the workshop more broadly to the scientific community and public. Support of early career US researchers in the field of submarine volcanism will also help build US capacity in this area of science.

爆炸性的火山喷发在地球上许多地方都是严重的危害，尤其是在与俯冲区有关的地区，例如美国西北海岸，阿拉斯加南部海岸，南部和中美洲的西部海岸以及“火环”的西太平洋地区。 这些爆发发生的过程和机制尚不清楚。这次研讨会是一场与美国地球科学家的地球物理联盟专业学会有关的查普曼会议，重点是将国际专家和早期的职业研究人员汇集在一起​​，以传播信息，讨论挑战，并集思广益，以提高我们对亚赛和潜艇燃烧性的理解，并重点介绍我们对省下和潜水艇的理解。该奖项的资金将用于支持美国早期职业科学家的旅行和参与，并增加来自美国和国际资源的资金，包括来自澳大利亚和三个国际专业社会的资金。 该研讨会是为期四天的高度互动Chapman会议，将在塔斯马尼亚州霍巴特的塔斯马尼亚大学举行，并由包括美国，新西兰和澳大利亚科学家在内的国际委员会组织，该委员会的所有领导人是潜艇或陆地火山主义领域的所有领导人。 研讨会的更广泛的影响包括传播科学信息以及专业知识和计划项目，以帮助更好地理解潜艇和地面火山，其结果可以由火山天文台和火山监测系统使用，该系统位于人口中心附近，以提供危险规划的信息。 其他影响包括国际合作和报告的生产以及专着或主题科学期刊问题，以更广泛地传播与科学界和公众更广泛的讲习班所提供的信息。支持早期职业在潜艇火山领域的美国研究人员也将有助于在这一科学领域建立我们的能力。
