Description:
Considering an active volcanic or geothermal area, based on expected or observed phenomena type, many kind of remote observations and their evolution, may be useful to understand any possible change in their back-ground state of activity or unexpected extreme manifestations, otherwise hard to be recorded on site. These areas must be subjected to constant geophysical monitoring and, at the same time, it is important to monitor thermal anomalies, through measurements of surface temperatures and hot flux. The proposed demo will focus on techniques, methods, datasets and results from several remote-sensing scale from terrestrial, UAS, airborne and satellite.
Moreover, measuring gas emissions of eruptive volcanoes is a risky task that cannot be performed by hand portable or backpack carried gas analysis systems. Satellite based remote sensing and near remote sensing instruments are useful to provide gas flux information when is not possible to perform in situ sampling, but not all gases of interest can be achieved with this method and they still require in situ data validation to provide a proper measurements of the gas fluxes emitted by the volcano.
