CSAV Instructors
CSAV Staff
The CSAV International Training Course is coordinated by staff from the University of Hawaiʻi. The staff also assists with teaching, particularly public outreach, and in the case of Director Don Thomas, introductory geology of Hawaiʻi and gas geochemistry.
Meet the Instructors
Most of the instructors are from the US Geological Survey Volcano Observatories (Hawaiʻi, Alaska, Cascades, and California), and many of these work with the Volcano Disaster Assistance Program (VDAP). A handful of the instructors are from the University of Hawaiʻi. Each year, the group varies, depending on who is available to teach. Of course, there are many more workers at these volcano observatories and at the University of Hawaiʻi who contribute, but our main group is pictured below, with a description of the subjects they teach.
