The CONVERSE Center: CONverging on Volcanic ERuption Science with Equity Track I project will set up the foundations for a new national center that will significantly advance the scientific understanding of volcanoes. This will be accomplished by observing, in real-time, the dynamic processes that occur during volcanic eruptions. The observations and scientific data that will be collected during such eruptions will be used to develop an unprecedented understanding of the processes that lead to volcanic eruptions, the eruption’s intensity, size, style and duration. The ambition of the center is to optimize the scientific data gathering process from volcanic eruptions to improve the fundamental understanding of volcanic systems and with that information aid in producing accurate forecasts of future hazardous eruptions. Achieving this goal requires a well-coordinated, inclusive, diverse and innovation-rich community that is able to response to volcanic unrest. Education and outreach are integral parts of this geohazards center. Training and education activities will be of great importance to the center’s success and include training of future volcano scientists in the entire workflow of responding to eruptions and the training of the broader science community through specific volcano eruption scenario exercises. Another key aspect of the center is to build and strengthen long-lasting relationships between the academic community primarily working at universities and the scientists working at government agencies that are responsible for volcano monitoring and eruption response. The centers activities will be aimed at increasing the diversity of researchers able to respond, gather and analyze critically important data to improve understanding of volcanic eruption. The overarching ambition of the CONVERSE geohazards center is to optimize the scientific advaces from responses of the scientific community to volcanic unrest in order to improve fundamental understanding of volcanic systems and aid in producing accurate forecasts of the dimensions (intensity, magnitude, duration, location) of future hazardous eruptions. Achieving this goal requires a well-coordinated, inclusive, diverse and innovation-rich community response to unrest. CONVERSE evolved as an NSF-funded Research Coordination Network, to answer the third of three Grand Challenges in the 2017 National Academies consensus report on volcanism (ERUPT): 1. Forecast the onset, size, and hazard of eruptions by integrating observations with quantitative models; 2. Quantify the life cycle of volcanoes; 3. Develop a coordinated volcano science community to maximize scientific returns from any volcanic event. The CONVERSE Research Collaborative Network (RCN) was highlighted in the National Academies 2020-2030 vision document (“Earth in Time”) (NAS 2020). This proposal is the next step in the evolution of CONVERSE towards achieving these goals. This Center Catalyst project will therefore design a US-based center to defining an organizational structure that supports collecting multiple types of complementary data during the critical phases of volcanic eruptions. These data will then enable the development of multi-scale quantitative models that capture critical processes, feedbacks, and thresholds to advance understanding of volcanic processes and the consequences of eruptions on Earth systems. Training and education activities will be integral to the Center’s success in this Catalyst phase and will focus on: (i) training of future volcano scientists in the best practices of the entire volcano science workflow and (ii) community training and outreach through workshops and eruption scenarios. In-reach and community engagement will be analyzed and assessed continuously and inform the Center's design and activities with regards to equity and inclusion of a diverse community. A central role during the Center’s catalyst phase will be as the bridge between the academic community and government agencies responsible for volcano monitoring and eruption response, mainly the USGS in the USA. The center will streamline the partnership with the USGS Volcanic Hazards Program and with observatories and academic and volcano observatory partners around the world.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

匡威中心：火山喷发科学与公平轨道 I 项目的融合将为一个新的国家中心奠定基础，该中心将显着促进对火山的科学认识，这将通过实时观察火山喷发的动态过程来实现。在火山喷发期间收集的观测和科学数据将用于对导致火山喷发的过程、喷发的强度、规模、该中心的目标是优化火山喷发的科学数据收集过程，以提高对火山系统的基本了解，并利用该信息帮助对未来危险的喷发进行准确的预测。能够应对火山动荡的包容性、多元化和创新的社区是该地质灾害中心的组成部分，培训和教育活动对于该中心的成功和发展至关重要。该中心的另一个关键方面是在应对火山喷发的整个工作流程中对未来的火山科学家进行培训，并通过特定的火山喷发情景练习对更广泛的科学界进行培训，以建立和加强主要工作的学术界之间的长期关系。该中心的活动旨在增加能够响应、收集和分析至关重要的数据的研究人员的多样性，以提高对火山喷发总体情况的了解。的野心CONVERSE地质灾害中心旨在优化科学界对火山动荡反应的科学进展，以提高对火山系统的基本了解，并帮助对未来危险喷发的规模（强度、震级、持续时间、位置）进行准确预测。实现这一目标需要一个协调良好、包容、多样化和富有创新的社区应对骚乱，CONVERSE 发展成为一个由 NSF 资助的研究协调网络，以回答第三个问题。 2017 年国家科学院火山活动共识报告 (ERUPT) 中提出了三大挑战： 1. 通过观测与定量模型相结合来预测火山喷发的发生、规模和危害； 2. 量化火山的生命周期；火山科学界致力于从任何火山事件中获得最大的科学回报 CONVERSE 研究合作网络 (RCN) 在国家科学院中得到了强调。 2020-2030 年愿景文件（“地球及时”）（NAS 2020）。因此，该中心催化剂项目将设计一个位于美国的中心的组织结构。支持在火山喷发的关键阶段收集多种类型的补充数据，然后这些数据将能够开发多尺度定量模型，捕获关键过程、反馈和阈值，以促进对火山喷发的理解。火山过程和喷发对地球系统的影响将是该中心在这一催化剂阶段取得成功的重要组成部分，并将重点关注：(i) 对未来的火山科学家进行整个火山科学工作流程最佳实践的培训； (ii) 将通过研讨会和火山喷发情景进行社区培训和外展活动，并持续进行分析和评估，并为中心在多元化社区的公平性和包容性方面的设计和活动提供信息。相将作为学术界和负责火山监测和喷发响应的政府机构（主要是美国地质调查局）之间的桥梁，该中心将简化与美国地质调查局火山灾害计划以及世界各地的观测站以及学术和火山观测站合作伙伴的合作关系。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
