Lava Lake Monitoring

Lava Lake Monitoring involves tracking volcanic activity within a lava lake—an open, molten rock reservoir in a volcano. Scientists use remote sensing, seismic sensors, and visual observations to measure changes in the lake’s temperature, surface level, and activity. This helps assess potential eruptions by detecting signs like rising temperatures, new fountains, or surface level fluctuations. Continuous monitoring provides critical data for early warning systems, ensuring safety and improving understanding of volcanic behavior.
