Drones fly straight into volcanoes for life-saving science – AlKhaleej Today

With an estimated 300 active volcanoes on Earth, the challenge is to monitor them all to send out early warnings before they erupt. Measuring volcanic gas emissions is also no easy task. Now researchers have developed specially adapted drones to collect data from an active volcano in Papua New Guinea (PNG).
The drones could help local communities monitor nearby volcanoes and predict future eruptions. Your measurements could also tell us more about the most inaccessible, highly active volcanoes…
