Heading to Villarrica volcano in Chile!

AVERT co-PIs Terry Plank and Einat Lev are heading to Villarrica volcano in Chile! They will join a Chilean team from SERNAGEOMIN and OVDAS and other AVERT partners, and head to the summit of the volcano! There, the teams will install a unique multi-parameter site, with thermal and visible cameras, a custom GPS sensor, a seismometer, and other many other instruments to monitor this very high threat volcano. Click the link to see a video of Terry and Einat packing the gear at LDEO before shipping it to Chile.

Preparing the equipment for Villarrica

During the first week of March, the AVERT team partners with Chilean scientists and engineers of OVDAS (Observatorio Volcanológico de los Andes del Sur), SERNAGEOMIN (Servicio Nacional de Geología y Minería) and the University of Chile, Santiago to deploy a suite of sensors on the crater rim of Chile’s highest threat volcano, Villarrica, or Ruka Pillañ in Mapudungun (RPV).
