Unless the volcano movers were there overnight, I believe that should be northwest of Homer.

Hi Elisa, AVO doesn't have a volunteer/internship program. Here's a list of options available to people who are interested in volunteering/interning with a volcano observatory: If you are seeking volcano experience anywhere - HVO has The premiere experience! HVO Volunteer webpage http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/volunteer/ If you're after AVO or Alaska specific experience... AVO is a partnership between three public organizations. Opportunities working (including volunteering) with AVO would be specifically advertised under these three organizations. Opportunities with the USGS usually require U.S. citizenship. Employment with the State of Alaska often requires Alaska residency, and student opportunities with the University of Alaska Fairbanks typically require enrollment at UAF as a full-time student. If there are employment positions with AVO, you'd find them on the appropriate partner's HR webpage. A little awkward to continually check three sites, but it does work (see farther down this email.) If you're looking to flat-out volunteer with AVO in Alaska, requiring you to provide your own housing, food and transportation, you may consider emailing a resume to AVO staff whose interests resemble your own (keep in mind we're in Anchorage and Fairbanks). You can use the staff list on the AVO website or just start Googling "AVO" and some limited text describing your interest. Some AVO-affiliated student programs that are open to non-UAF students and are highly recommended are PIRE (Partnership in Volcanological Research and Education) and the UAF International Field Camp (with Alaskan and Russian courses): US-Russia-Japan Partnership (see the links at the top of the website) http://www.uaf.edu/geology/Research/research/volcanology.html PIRE http://www.gps.alaska.edu/PIRE/PIRE.html UAF G&G International Field Camp http://www.uaf.edu/geology/InternVolcanologySchool/2000index.htm Here's the list of AVO's member agencies, and their websites: Feds (AVO-S in Anchorage) 1. The USGS General USGS Employment http://www.usgs.gov/ohr/ USGS Alaska Science Center in Anchorage, AK (jobs are advertised in bottom of left-side navigation) http://alaska.usgs.gov/ USGS Volunteer http://www.usgs.gov/volunteer/ State of Alaska (AVO-N in Fairbanks) 2. Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys http://www.dggs.alaska.gov Workplace Alaska http://notes4.state.ak.us/wa/mainentry.nsf/WebData/1hp1HomePage/?Open AK Department of Natural Resources (includes DGGS) Job, Intern. and Volunteer Opportunities: http://dnr.alaska.gov/commis/pic/jobs.htm 3. (AVO-N in Fairbanks) The University of Alaska Jobs (AVO assoc. portion is the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute - UAFGI)) https://www.uakjobs.com/applicants/jsp/shared/frameset/Frameset.jsp?time=11… UAF Geol. and Geophys. and the UAFGI also host internships during the summer and school year. You may contact the geology and geophysics department or the UAF Geophysical Institute (UAFGI) for info. UAFGI http://www.gi.alaska.edu/ UAF Geol. and Geophys. http://www.uaf.edu/geology/ Also, the recently developed "Volcanonet" group on Facebook has a section where members can post/look for opportunities. Its been quite a successful site, acquiring over 400 members and dozen of opportunities posted in about a week. Hope that's helpful. Thanks! -Seth -------- Elisa Baumgardt wrote: I was wondering if the observatory has any internship programs for geology students interested in volcanology, or if there are volunteer positions that would fill the same desire.

Hi Matthew -- you could hire a helicopter to take you on a tour of Redoubt, but it would cost quite a bit of money. You can read about what happened to Anchorage during the 2009 Redoubt eruption here: http://www.avo.alaska.edu/volcanoes/activity.php?volcname=Redoubt&page=… Thanks, -Seth -------- Matthew Granirer wrote: Can people take helicopter tours of Mount Redoubt.

During the last weeks we searched in Kamtchatka couse we are fascinated by the landscape and the vulcanoes but there are no possibilities. While searching there I hit on the Alaska Vulcano Observatory and thought you might have options for volunteers? Do you have projects for volunteers? Do you know any other possibilities or do you know any partner organization that offers volunteer work? We are a young couple (23 and 25 years old) living in south Germany. My wife will finish her teaching post for secondary modern school and I&acirc;ï¿½ï¿½ll finish my mechatronics studies in August 2012. I already did an apprenticeship in mechatronics which might be interesting for setting up or maintaining eqipment. Alongside her studies, my wife works with disabled people and I&acirc;ï¿½ï¿½m an aspirant at the mountain rescue service. We would like to take responsibility for our world, for humans as well as our nature. We are both fascinated by the wild nature, volcanoes and are interested in living in a foreign culture. We would be available from September 2012 on when our studies will be finished. Thank you in advance.
