7th NOVAC Workshop

The 7th NOVAC workshop will take place from 5 to 12 May 2024 at El Reventador volcano, Ecuador. The objective of this workshop is to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experience among staff from partner institutions. The workshop is aimed at gas geochemists and field engineers working on NOVAC instrumentation, data analysis, and interpretation. An introduction will be given to NOVAC instrumentation, software, and analysis tools, and new technology and software features will be demonstrated. Partners will share insights on volcanic systems obtained from their own gas measurements, and novel analysis of NOVAC data will be discussed. Finally, plans for the coordination of the network and future NOVAC activities will be made. For additional information on the cost, logistics, and schedule of the workshop, as well as instructions on how to register, please see the 2nd Circular. Registration deadline is Feb 29, 2024.

This workshop is possible thanks to financial support from the Volcano Disaster Assistance Program (VDAP) of USGS/USAID, the International Geoscience Programme of UNESCO/IUGS, and the European Geosciences Union (EGU).
