Researchers have developed an affordable version of a typically rare and expensive camera that may help predict volcano eruptions, providing essential warnings to nearby communities and facilitating earlier evacuation and preparation.
cameras have been an important instrument in volcanology since the mid-2000s, they are limited not just by cost, but by efficiency. Save for a few high-activity areas, field cameras typically provide only brief snapshots of volcanic activity, limiting their utility.
“Further proliferation of such instrumentation has the potential to greatly improve our understanding of the transient nature of volcanic activity, as well as aiding volcano monitoring and eruption forecasting,” the team writes. The study’s lead author is Thomas Charles Wilkes from the Department of Geographic at the University of Sheffield.is the most common gas detected at open-vent volcanoes.

Whilst this system is housed inside a Peli Case 1,400 , other systems have used the Peli Case 1,450 to provide extra space for mounting the system. Front view of instrument optical systems.
