UAV new use! British scientists use their research to actively volcanoes

According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on April 12, the Volcán de Fuego in Guatemala is very active, and researchers have been unable to conduct in-depth research. Recently, however, a team of British volcanologists used a drone with sensors and cameras to capture the eruption of the volcano and measure the data. The team will also build a 3D model to study the changes in volcanoes.

Dr. Emma Liu, a volcanologist from the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Cambridge in the UK, said that researchers have long faced problems with on-site sampling and routine monitoring of volcanic eruptions, especially in dangerous areas near the crater, but the use of drones. Solved this problem. The drone's sensors are used to measure the temperature and humidity of the volcanic cloud, and the camera captures the images and thermal images of the volcanic eruption in real time.

The Fuegal volcano is about 3,763 meters long and is active for a long time. Several small explosions occur every hour, and large eruptions occur every three or four weeks. The volcanic eruption will put about 80,000 local residents in danger. In addition, large volcanic eruptions will spray volcanic ash into the atmosphere, which not only harms the local residents, but also is not conducive to aircraft navigation.

Dr. Emma Liu pointed out that in order to understand the cause of the volcanic eruption, the researchers still have a lot of work to be done, and in the next phase of the project, they will continue to use the drones with sensors installed. To understand the changing process of Fuengo volcano, the team plans to analyze the chemical composition of volcanic gases and lava and build a 3D model of the volcano.
