MORE GUATE PHOTOS PACAYA 1st days at ATITLAN Atitlán Hazard study SANTIAGUITO FUEGO MORE INFO RESEARCH	These pages include just a few of my photos from my Guatemalan 2002 Field Voyage. I spent just one day over nine weeks in Guatemala working at volcanoes Pacaya, Fuego, Santiaguito (as a helper on continued projects my advisor is involved with) and began my own research at Atitlan Volcano (six weeks of fieldwork). My advisor Bill Rose has worked in Guatemala for about 35 consecutive winters, so there already is a strong working relationship between Michigan TECH and the Guatemalan governmental institutions, INSIVUMEH and CONRED, which deal with volcanoes and volcanic crisis. Pacaya and Santiaguito Volcanoes are continuously erupting and Fuego has had renewed activity in 1974, 1999 and now in 2002. So all three of these volcanoes create a unique opportunity for a volcanologist ... live volcano laboratories. We used a combination of instrumentation in order to better understand the dynamics of these volcanoes which included: GPS, COSPEC, seismic data, as well as our observations of the activity.

THOSE WHO DESERVE A BIG THANK YOU!
