Magmatic and tectonic processes interact on a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. Volcanic activity may stimulate tectonic earthquakes, while earthquakes can stimulate magmatic events even at long distances. Study of these various interactions may lead to improved understanding of underlying processes, and is important for hazard assessment.
Tectonic - Magmatic interaction will be the theme of a summer school and workshop held in South Iceland, August 31 - September 9, 2003, organised by the Nordic Volcanological Institute (NORDVULK) .
The US NSF-sponsored RIDGE 2000 program provides support for US participants, and the NorFA program provides support for Nordic participants. Local support is also provided by the Icelandic Science Fund (RANNIS) .
The format will include lectures, posters, field trips, and ample time for discussion.  Participants (limited to about 60) will be chosen from applicants to this announcement, and are encouraged to make a poster presentation on a relevant topic.  Selected applicants will be provided with full or partial funding for air travel, accommodation and meals. 
Participants may be required to pay a $100 registration fee. We especially encourage applications from graduate students, post-docs, and assistant professors. Applicants should prepare a brief (<2 page) resume and a brief (half-page) statement of why they wish to participate in the workshop.
