Read about Hannah&#8217;s experience and how she found out about it below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What did you do this summer? <\/strong>This summer I spent 3 months in Mexico volunteering at the CIIV (Centro de Intercambio e Investigaci\u00f3n en Vulcanolog\u00eda or, in English, Centre of Exchange and Research in Volcanology) in Colima. I worked alongside other volunteers, mainly from the UK, undertaking a number of projects in order to investigate the behaviour of Volc\u00e1n de Colima. In particular, in the lab I was working on a project looking at the dependence of rockfalls on explosions, which involved analysing seismic data. I went on a number of field trips to the volcano where I was lucky enough to see my first eruption! On field trips we would set up equipment to collect SO<sub>2 <\/sub>data, thermal data, infrasound and photographs, as well as collecting ash samples and striation data caused by pyroclastic flows in 2015.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you find out about it? <\/strong>I found out about this internship when I was looking on the internet for volcanology internships. There are only a limited number of volcanology internships around the world and at first I wasn\u2019t sure whether to apply because I am early on in my career and I didn\u2019t think they would accept me onto the internship, but I am glad I did because my 3 months in Mexico were some of the best months of my life so far!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did you have to apply? If so, how did you make yourself stand out? <\/strong>Yes, I had to apply. I think the fact that I had spent my previous year studying abroad in Iceland made me stand out!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Has it helped you think about what you want to do in the future? <\/strong>Volcanology has always been a passion of mine and something that I would like to pursue in the future. Completing this internship has confirmed this and I after I graduate I would like to do an MSc in Volcanology.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Any other information:\u00a0<\/strong>If you want to find out more about this internship, the website is <a href=\"http:\/\/ciiv.ucol.mx\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/ciiv.ucol.mx\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"excerpt\">Third year BSc Earth and Environmental Science (study abroad) student Hannah Rodger has just completed a summer Volcanology Internship at the Centro de Intercambio e Investigaci\u00f3n en Vulcanolog\u00eda, Colima, Mexico.
