There is very little systematic data on volcanic emissions because of the lack of suitable monitoring equipment. The available data show a very significant correlation between volcanic activity and emissions. Therefore, there is a great need for new instrumentation that will provide the needed data to understand and model the role of geochemistry in volcanism. The proposed research is a collaboration between volcanologists and gas sensor specialists to develop and use advanced instrumentation for systematic monitoring of important volcanic gases (e.g., HC1, CO2, SO2, H2S, HF, H2O and temperature). Recent advances in microsensor technology and electronics will be exploited to develop a rugged, low power, low cost, field worthy monitoring system. The units would be designed to collect and transmit real-time emissions data for a period of six months without any manual intervention. The data acquired by the instrumentation is expected to stimulate the development of new models of volcanic behavior.

由于缺乏适当的监测设备，有关火山排放的系统数据很少。现有数据表明，火山活动和排放之间存在着非常显著的相关性。因此，非常需要新的仪器来提供所需的数据，以了解和模拟地球化学在火山作用中的作用。拟议的研究是火山学家和气体传感器专家之间的合作，以开发和使用先进的仪器来系统地监测重要的火山气体(例如，HC1、CO2、SO2、H2S、HF、H2O和温度)。微传感器技术和电子学的最新进展将被用来开发一种坚固耐用、低功耗、低成本、值得现场使用的监测系统。这些单位将被设计成在没有任何人工干预的情况下收集和传输为期六个月的实时排放数据。该仪器获得的数据有望刺激开发新的火山行为模型。
