We are excited to announce that Carlos Laverde (Servicio Geológico Colombiano) has agreed to step into the role of the NOVAC Software Working Group Coordinator. Thank you Carlos! In recent years, Carlos has been one of the most active members in our community, particularly in the testing and development of software. Working closely with Diana Norgaard, he provided valuable feedback on the NOVAC Program and Mobile DOAS applications. His recent work also includes developing a platform for visualizing spatial SO2 data from the TROPOMI satellite instrument. Working at SGC, his experience with operational volcano monitoring provides him with valuable insights into the priorities and challenges of operating continuous monitoring networks such as NOVAC. We look forward to working with him on all software-related tasks!
