NOVAC became part of the International Geosciences Programme (IGCP), a joint research initiative of UNESCO and IUGS (International Union of Geological Sciences). Through the project “Building Global Capacity for the Observation of Volcanic and Atmospheric Change” (2020-2024), we will focus on strengthening local capacities at volcano observatories for the volcanological interpretation of gas remote sensing data. We will identify needs and invite experts to join our effort. The project is lead by Santiago Arellano (Chalmers/SE), Christoph Kern (USGS-VDAP/US), Zoraida Chacón (SGC/CO) and Silvana Hidalgo (IGEPN/EC).
