Title: Developing successful international collaborations in Earth Science research.

Abstract: I offer suggestions to increase the probability of success of an international research project. Collaborative studies often produce more innovative and transformative scientific results than work done by a single investigator or an isolated team. My advice is intended for early-career scientists. The product of the collaboration may be high-impact research publications, enhanced geophysical monitoring capabilities in a foreign country, or an advanced training course. Choosing the right international partner is the most important step. Keeping an open mind and being receptive to suggestions to modify the initial concept is critical. Other key steps include having a mutually agreed upon plan with achievable goals and well-defined expected outcomes. International cooperation is a richly rewarding experience that accelerates progress in the Earth Sciences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
