instruments, and telemetry equipment at hazardous volcanoes, and  
augmentation of existing networks with additional instruments;  
activities related to monitoring of hazardous and active volcanoes,  
including field observations and sampling, geophysical data analysis,  
geologic mapping, and GIS-based hazard and vulnerability assessments;  
computer-based research and development in the fields of data  
visualization and analysis, network design, and data archiving; and  
creation and preservation of jobs, and youth employment. Support for  
objectives to be completed by the resulting assistance awards will  
utilize funds provided under the American Recovery and Reinvestment  
Act (ARRA) of 2009. All applications must be submitted through
