Welcome!
Thank you for your interest in being part of the ECR Volcanology Reading-Rendezvous.
Organized by a committee of eight ECRs from diverse research backgrounds and career stages, we seek to engage the ECR-Volcanology community in a series of insightful, once-monthly discussions that focus on exploration of a new and/or keynote paper in physical volcanology, igneous geochemistry, petrology, volcano geophysics and related subjects.
Our aim is to provide an accessible, inclusive, and diverse platform for ECRs to discuss novel topics in volcanology, and in turn promote the open exchange of knowledge and ideas.
Discussions are open to absolutely anyone who identifies as an ECR, so includes Undergraduates, Postgraduates, Post-Doctoral researchers, and Early-Career faculty members.
To join our upcoming meetings, sign up to our mailing list below.
If you cannot access any of the papers discussed in our rendez-vous, please contact us.
