Developing a volcanic degassing monitoring network

Project Objetives

• Degassing at volcanoes occurs through multiple pathways which are hypothesized to each preserve               different permeability at different times

• To measure this spatio-temporal variation in degassing, we need to build a network of gas sensors

Data and Results

• To learn how to properly build this network of gas sensors, I attended GEARs workshop where I got a             crash course of field electronics and mechanics for geoscientist.

• Development of core code for these sensors has now been written

• Conceptual design of the network is complete

• Parts have been picked and purchased

• Testing for the network has been designed

Significance

•This Gas Sensor Network will allow to capture spatiotemporal degassing data which would otherwise            require a much higher financial commitment

• Next step is complete the testing of the network and deploy it a volcanoes as well as publish it so that             other scientist may replicate it.

Results will be presented at AGU25
