UOH-UCH Team awarded with FOVI240153 "Territorios y Gobernanza del Riesgo: Fortaleciendo la Interdisciplina para prevenir Desastres Socio-naturales" - Ricardo Fuentealba (PI), Laura Becerril (co-PI),  and associate researchers Paulina Vergara Saavedra, Jorge Romero, Alejandra Serey, and Daniela Esjmentewicz. 

Jorge Romero was recently awarded with an EXCITE2 Call 1 project titled "Protracted storage of monotonous andesite magma" to focus on electron microprobe analyses of samples from the Tinguiririca Volcanic Complex during late 2024. 

Jorge Romero was recently awarded with Fondecyt Iniciación no. 11241126 titled "Controls on flank instability at southern Andes volcanoes constrained by field, laboratory, and numerical evidence: Applications to San José and Chillán volcanoes". The project will be carried out between 2024 and 2026.
