International Volcanic Gas Association

The International Volcanic Gas Association (IVGA) is a global organization focused on studying volcanic gases and their impact on the environment and climate. It brings together scientists, researchers, and stakeholders to share knowledge and develop methods for monitoring gas emissions from volcanoes. By understanding volcanic gases, such as sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide, the IVGA aims to improve hazard assessments, enhance public safety, and contribute to climate science. The association fosters collaboration and advances the scientific understanding of volcanic processes, benefitting both communities living near volcanoes and the broader field of environmental research.
