Overview:

The students presently enrolled in senior seminar have a once in a lifetime educational opportunity to integrate the knowledge gained at the Colorado School of Mines through a visit to the Hawaiian Islands. Culture, seismology, volcanism, littoral zone f ormation, geology, and effective communications will be key areas of study in Hawaii. With the help of CSM faculty and their contacts we have planned an intense educational experience at Hawaii Volcanic Observatory. Lectures, field trips, and data acqui sitions will show the past, present and future importance of geophysics in this area.
