International Volcanology Seminar



This seminar series was designed to promote the work of early career volcano scientists. Scheduled talks can be found below. Live talks can be viewed on our youtube channel (links below), as well as archived talks. To be part of our live, interactive audience, please email Joe Dufek (jdufek -at- uoregon.edu) or Ben Andrews (AndrewsB -at- si.edu).
