hi I’m dr. Carolyn porchetta I’m a JPL based NASA postdoctoral fellow in a
based NASA postdoctoral fellow in a
based NASA postdoctoral fellow in a program administered by Oakridge
program administered by Oakridge
program administered by Oakridge associated universities the expedition I
associated universities the expedition I
associated universities the expedition I would like to have granted is going
would like to have granted is going
would like to have granted is going inside a volcano
inside a volcano
inside a volcano I’m a volcanologist who did my training
I’m a volcanologist who did my training
I’m a volcanologist who did my training at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and
at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and
at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and I’m awed menteng those skills at JPL
I’m awed menteng those skills at JPL
I’m awed menteng those skills at JPL with robotics engineering I’m doing this
with robotics engineering I’m doing this
with robotics engineering I’m doing this because I want to build a robot then
because I want to build a robot then
because I want to build a robot then we’ll go inside Kilauea Volcano and Matt
we’ll go inside Kilauea Volcano and Matt
we’ll go inside Kilauea Volcano and Matt for the first time ever a volcanic
for the first time ever a volcanic
for the first time ever a volcanic conduit and what does that mean that
conduit and what does that mean that
conduit and what does that mean that means what is the shape of the pathway
means what is the shape of the pathway
means what is the shape of the pathway where magma comes from redeath to the
where magma comes from redeath to the
where magma comes from redeath to the surface we don’t actually know that in
surface we don’t actually know that in
surface we don’t actually know that in fact just two years ago in Kona Hawaii
fact just two years ago in Kona Hawaii
fact just two years ago in Kona Hawaii nearly 200 volcanologist got together
nearly 200 volcanologist got together
nearly 200 volcanologist got together and discussed research on volcanism
and discussed research on volcanism
and discussed research on volcanism around the world over the past hundred
around the world over the past hundred
around the world over the past hundred years that is similar to that seen in
years that is similar to that seen in
years that is similar to that seen in Hawaii we also discuss where the next
Hawaii we also discuss where the next
Hawaii we also discuss where the next hundred years of research might and
hundred years of research might and
hundred years of research might and should go my specialty from my
should go my specialty from my
should go my specialty from my dissertation was Fisher geometry it’s a
dissertation was Fisher geometry it’s a
dissertation was Fisher geometry it’s a long linear crack that erupts like we
long linear crack that erupts like we
long linear crack that erupts like we have never had a chance to measure a
have never had a chance to measure a
have never had a chance to measure a volcanic come to it before because they
volcanic come to it before because they
volcanic come to it before because they usually get buried or destroyed during
usually get buried or destroyed during
usually get buried or destroyed during an eruption but I found a few in Hawaii
an eruption but I found a few in Hawaii
an eruption but I found a few in Hawaii and this is the perfect opportunity to
and this is the perfect opportunity to
and this is the perfect opportunity to do novel science so we have impact we
do novel science so we have impact we
do novel science so we have impact we have originality and we have viability
have originality and we have viability
have originality and we have viability I’m applying for this money in
I’m applying for this money in
I’m applying for this money in particular because my fellowship only
particular because my fellowship only
particular because my fellowship only provides enough money for me and the
provides enough money for me and the
provides enough money for me and the robot to get to Hawaii but in all
robot to get to Hawaii but in all
robot to get to Hawaii but in all reality I need the teeth it’s a two to
reality I need the teeth it’s a two to
reality I need the teeth it’s a two to three person job to maneuver the robot
three person job to maneuver the robot
three person job to maneuver the robot and make it a successful campaign and
and make it a successful campaign and
and make it a successful campaign and this expedition granted money would get
this expedition granted money would get
this expedition granted money would get the rest of the team to Hawaii with me
the rest of the team to Hawaii with me
the rest of the team to Hawaii with me and I’m becoming more of a roboticist
and I’m becoming more of a roboticist
and I’m becoming more of a roboticist everyday and the robot assistant be
everyday and the robot assistant be
everyday and the robot assistant be doing more volcanologists that we are
doing more volcanologists that we are
doing more volcanologists that we are going to be paving the way for the
going to be paving the way for the
going to be paving the way for the future for understanding volcanic
future for understanding volcanic
future for understanding volcanic already built one robot tested it in
already built one robot tested it in
already built one robot tested it in Hawaii and now we’re on our second robot
Hawaii and now we’re on our second robot
Hawaii and now we’re on our second robot you saw the data from that test in this
you saw the data from that test in this
you saw the data from that test in this video and if you liked what you saw give
video and if you liked what you saw give
video and if you liked what you saw give us your vote we would greatly appreciate
us your vote we would greatly appreciate
us your vote we would greatly appreciate it thank you so much for your time and
it thank you so much for your time and
it thank you so much for your time and for listening Aloha
