Description
Summary:Volcanoes represent a significant source of airborne particles that can produce local, regional and global effects, impacting Earth systems and human health. Individual eruption characteristics influence their environmental impact. Satellite monitoring provides global observations even for remote volcanoes. Changes in volcanic emissions correspond to variations in the magma plumbing system. By tracking emissions we aim to help understand the processes occurring at depth.
