New low-cost camera could help scientists forecast volcano eruptions affecting millions frontiersin FrontEarthSci
To get better long-term monitoring data, an international team of researchers has developed an SOcamera to continually measure emission rates from volcanoes. They have now published an article about the camera design and two initial datasets in"Our instrument uses a sensor not dissimilar to smartphone camera sensors. It is modified to make it sensitive todetection," said Dr. Thomas Wilkes, a researcher at the University of Sheffield and lead author of the study.
"Wherever possible we 3D print parts too, to keep costs as low as we can," Wilkes explained."We also introduce a, freely available software for controlling the instrument and processing the acquired data in a robust manner." The affordability and user-friendliness makes the camera accessible to more volcanologists who otherwise might not have access to datasets containing accurate gas emission rates.
