Hi! I am a grad student and i need a few samples of volcanic ash for
my research. I need ash obtained at different distances from the volcano.
I have studied ash obtained from Mt. Fuego volcano. Can you suggest me
some people/institutions who can have such a collection of ash (without
any impurities) obtained at different distances from the site of eruption.
Thanks a lot!
Hi Archana,
That's an interesting request. I don't exactly know where you might start
looking. I can, however, give you the e-mail address of a graduate
student (of Michigan Tech University) who is doing volcanological work in
Guatemala:
Paul Kimberly
pgkimber@mtu.edu
You can also try contacting someone in Guatemala such as:
Edgar Bryan
Centro Universitariodel Norte
CONE-USAC
Guatemala
You might also try the Smithsonian Institution, for example:
Diane Hanley
dhanley@ceps.nasm.edu
Good Luck,
Scott Rowland
