Remote sensing in Monitoring Active Volcanoes
Volcanoes have footprints that may extend across many thousands of square kilometers. Satellite remote sensing is a vital tool for monitoring active or potentially active volcanoes. It helps in rapid detection of an eruption plume, monitoring thermal energy emitted from the volcano, large area mapping of surface deformation of a volcano, measurement of volcano topography and topographic change, illustrating spatial distribution of ash, gases and aerosols produced by eruptions, and referencing a data set for each volcano for quantifying of future changes. In today’s time, drones are used with different sensors to map the gaseous emissions and collect sample of the ash. With thermal and visual cameras, UAVs can monitor volcanic activity as well as alert the local communities of impending eruptions.
As a responsible social entity SATPALDA strives to promote the latest Geospatial technologies to support critical issues such as climate change, environment and security etc. The company is a reseller of multiple satellite data products and delivers project-critical geospatial products, including satellite imagery, UAV imagery, elevation models, LULC maps, Planimetry, Lidar solutions.
