Field Workshop in Idaho
August 11-15, 2025, University of South Florida Facility, Mackay, Idaho
We invite volcanologists to participate in “Combining Field-Based and Remote Sensing Data into Computational Tools on VICTOR” - a hands-on workshop blending fieldwork, remote sensing, and computational volcanology. Attendees visit nearby volcanic sites and learn how to integrate remote-sensing data into VICTOR’s computational tools. Priority for available funding is given to graduate students, early-career researchers, and volcano observatory staff.
