Autonomous drones measure volcanic gas clouds, offering clearer eruption warning signs
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich developed autonomous drones to measure volcanic gas clouds. By tracking carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide levels, the team gets clearer eruption warning signs. "This is more precise and safer," said Achim Lilienthal. Marius Schaab successfully tested this system on the island of Vulcano.
