1. Volcanology Geochemistry Petrology Division Dept. of Geology and Geophysics SOEST, UH

2. SOEST is a fad that will pass Research divisions are merely logistical subunits First, 2 anecdotes, both circa 1992 Really?

3. The division Mike Garcia Lucia Gurioli Julia Hammer Eric Hellebrand Bruce Houghton Kevin Johnson John Mahoney Doug Pyle Scott Rowland Ken Rubin John Sinton Helge Gonnermann Rhea Workman Steph Ingle Volcanology, Geochemistry, Petrology

4. VGP – who we are And 2 postdocs and 12 grad students Faculty Rank

5. VGP – what we are known for Strong Research Division Strong Personalities Research leadership Working together …. sometimes Fancy geochemical instrumentation We love volcanoes

6. Volcanology Hawaiian Volcanism mantle geochemistry Volcanic processes and hazard mitigation Submarine eruptions magma crystallization volcano morphology eruption modeling geochemical modeling silicic volcanism rock-magnetism Martian basalts Submarine landslides in Hawaii Plume-ridge interaction Volcanology upper mantle petrology magma intrusion at ridges Remote sensing hydrothermal processes some Mid-ocean ridge volcanism Other than volcanoes: analytical techniques development geochemical instrument development geo-neutrinos U environmental chemistry Hawaiian Sea level deformation modeling Polynesian artifacts VGP – what we do

8. VGP – what we do Challenge: running a laboratory facility at UH

9. VGP – what we do Challenge: rock storage and curation Challenge: Funding large field programs

10. VGP – what we do Strength: What’s NOT to love? 13 works on volcanoes

11. VGP – besides volcanoes

12. Research Collaborations

13. VGP – Challenges in the Workplace Survey responses: 1. Most vexing problem in last few years “Infrastructure” includes Instrumentation problems, Facilities issues 2. Most vexing problem today3. Excitement about the future Notice a trend?

14. VGP Strengths: Geochemists, volcanologists and petrologists who share a fascination with volcanoes collaborative, interactive research focus on Hawaii lots of international collaboration one of largest most active academic volcanology programs in the world student and postdoc training Challenges: infrastructure at UH funding sea going science salaries office space

15. VGP – more than a division: A group
