Developing an open, multi-parameter platform for real-time volcano monitoring
AVERT is establishing open-data, real-time, multi-sensor community experiments on active volcanoes in a number of settings around the world. The number of instruments in more than 3 countries around the world has grown to more than 20+ and continuing.

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.

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).
