In Sicily, drones at work to predict volcanic eruptions
VULCANO PORTO: Hovering over the volcano, a buzzing drone pauses in front of a laser beam on the crater’s edge, as researchers test whether the devices can measure gases to predict eruptions.
On the Aeolian island of Vulcano, off the coast of Sicily, German researcher Marius Schaab, from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), stands next to a gas sensor mounted on a tripod, waiting for the drone his colleague has just launched to draw closer.
