RE: Possible Field Trips - do you offer?

Good Morning, Ms. Cheryl, I am SO SORRY - no 650 kids showing up, 😊. I'll say I am new to organizing things. I should have clarified this much better for you! We divide kids into Elementary K-5 (199 kids), Middle 6-8 (154 kids), and High School 9-12 (300 kids). We usually open field trips to about 30 students. The AVO field trips would be for older kids, so I'll use high school as my example. I would say advertise sign-ups capping at 30 - or what you deem to fit your agency. For elementary and middle school students, we ask parents to tag along with their students. Frontier will send two chaperones (teachers/staff). Since we are a home school, everyone shows up in their car, not a school bus. I am thinking of a February or March time frame. We run into standardized testing in April, and May is the year's end. We can do something next year if that also works for you. I hope we can work together on getting something. I am a volcano buff (subscribe to your website, etc.), so selfishly, I would love to learn more. It is a fascinating topic; I am sure student sign-ups will fill quickly. Kindest Regards, Margie Mitchell Administrative Assistant/Event Planner Frontier Charter School 907-742-1191 direct/ 907-764-1274 cell -----Original Message----- From: Avoemails(a)avo.alaska.edu <Avoemails(a)avo.alaska.edu> Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2023 3:13 PM To: Mitchell_Margie <Mitchell_Margie(a)asdk12.org> Subject: Re: Possible Field Trips - do you offer?

Hi Margie, Thank you for writing. Are you thinking of all 650 students visiting AVO? I think we could not accommodate so many. Please let me know how many students and what your anticipated date range would be and we will see if we can arrange this. If a tour of AVO is not practical, we may be able to send someone to your school for a presentation there. Thank you, Cheryl cheryl.cameron(a)alaska.gov Good Morning, I am a coordinator of events for Frontier Charter School. We are a K-12 school with the Anchorage School District. Frontier is a home school with approximately 650 students. Do the AVO offer field trips at your facility? This is a fascinating study area, and I believe our students (the older ones) would be interested to learn more. Any suggestions or thoughts would be welcome!

Hi Peter, Here is the info I have on the Scotch Cap diary: https://avo.alaska.edu/downloads/reference.php?citid=3422 Clark, M., Villegas, Bob, Stanley, Mike, and Standridge, Ray, 1978, Scotch Cap diary: unpublished personal account, 8 p. These pages were scanned from a notebook of files kept by the late Juergen Kienle. They are an unpublished account of the event. Thank you, Cheryl Hello: My name is Peter Kaufman and I am a writer in Cincinnati, Ohio. I'm writing a book about Scotch Cap on Unimak Island and came across a document on your website. This is entitled "Scotch Cap" diary by Richard E. Clark, and details the 1978 Westdahl eruption. Can you tell me the source of this document? Was it sent to you? I want to give the correct citation in my book endnotes. Thanks, Peter Kaufman pkauf305(a)gmail.com

Re: Volunteering

Hi Emma, Congratulations on your degree! In short, no, AVO doesn't have a volunteer/internship program. If you are seeking volcano experience anywhere, The Smithsonian Institute Global Volcanism Program and Mineral Science division have funding and volunteer opportunities you may be interested in: https://naturalhistory.si.edu/research/mineral-sciences/opportunities https://naturalhistory.si.edu/research/natural-history-research-experiences The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) had opportunities, but is on hiatus for now since damage to their facilities during the 2018 eruption. Check the current status here: 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. One program that is open to non-UAF students and is highly recommended is the UAF International Volcanology Field School https://www.uaf.edu/geosciences/academics/international-volcanology/index.p… Here's the list of AVO's member agencies, and their websites: 1. The USGS General USGS Employment http://www.usgs.gov/ohr/ 2. USGS Alaska Science Center in Anchorage, AK (jobs are advertised in bottom of left-side navigation) http://alaska.usgs.gov/ 3. USGS Volunteer http://www.usgs.gov/volunteer/ 4. Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys http://www.dggs.alaska.gov 5. Workplace Alaska http://doa.alaska.gov/dop/workplace 6. AK Department of Natural Resources (includes DGGS) Job, Intern. and Volunteer Opportunities: http://dnr.alaska.gov/commis/pic/jobs.htm 7. The University of Alaska Jobs (AVO assoc. portion is the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute - UAFGI) https://alaska.edu/jobs/ 8. UAF Geol. and Geophys. and the UAFGI also host internships during the summer and school year. You may contact e Geology and Geophysics department or the UAF Geophysical Institute (UAFGI) for info. UAFGI http://www.gi.alaska.edu/ 9. UAF Geol. and Geophys. http://www.uaf.edu/geology/'' Thank you, Cheryl Hot Whom It May Concern, My name is Emma Literski and I have recently graduated from the University of Wyoming with a degree in geoscience. I am passionate about volcanology but currently work in the mining and mineral exploration industry. I was curious to know if you all had any volunteering opportunities or any other avenues to get involved. Thanks, Emma Literski
