Volcanic gases analysis
Volcanic gases analysis involves studying the natural emissions from a volcano to understand its behavior and possible eruptions. Scientists collect gases like water vapor, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and other trace components released from the volcano's vent or from captured samples. Analyzing these gases can reveal changes in magma activity underground, acting as early warning signals for potential eruptions. This process helps monitor volcanic health, improve safety, and provide valuable insights into volcanic processes and their impact on the environment.
