Nicaragua

I just returned from a two-week long workshop in Leon, Nicaragua on the subject of Magma-Tectonic Interactions in the Americas.  It was an amazing experience that included field trips to Masaya, Cerro Negro, and San Cristobal volcanoes, which are all actively degassing.  The workshop included instruction on GPS, seismic, petrologic, geochemical, and Coulomb-stress methods of investigating tectonic and volcanic activity.  I learned a ton and also got to meet a bunch of other similarly interested graduate students, post-docs, and professors.  I also came away with a few new ideas for research to do this summer and some potential future collaborations.  I'm excited to get back to research this summer.
