Hello Ann-Kathrin, AVO does not have a formal internship program. You can apply to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory's well-established volunteer program: http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/volunteer/ We also highly recommend the International Volcanology Field School: https://www.uaf.edu/geology/academics/international-volcanology/ Best wishes on your studies! Cheryl Cameron -------- Ann-Kathrin Edrich wrote: Dear Sir or Madam, my name is Ann-Kathrin Edrich and I study geophysics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany. I have an all-round education in physics, geology and geodesy. I have taken in-depth courses in volcanology and especially also in the hazard and risk assessment of volcanoes and measurement methods in physical volcanology. I have experience in working with MATLAB as well as with ArcMap and I have programming skills in C/C++. To put my knowledge into practice I would like to do an internship and I wanted to inquire if this is possible with the AVO?
