Abstract:

Current EO satellite missions providing imagery in the VIS- TIR region at high spatial resolution offer the possibility to estimate a number of important parameters to monitor volcanic activities at worldwide level. Therefore, space missions contribute in understanding the ongoing phenomena to mitigate the volcanic risk when population and infrastructures are exposed. New hyperspectral and thermal missions which could provide images at high spatial and temporal resolution are under study in cooperation between Space Agencies (NASA, ASI, ESA etc.) and hopefully will improve the monitoring capabilities of active volcanoes in highly populated areas. In the present work we describe several results obtained in the last years by EO satellite missions for the volcanic risk. While the satellite data provide a wide description of scenes, in situ and proximal measurements are crucial to retrieve gas emissions and analyze surface characteristics at very high spatial resolution. Data acquired from drones (UAV) and thermal cameras in volcanic areas are presented and discussed. Moreover, this work shows the need of validation process for satellite products comparing with measurements collected during field campaigns.

1. Current and Future Space Missions

Current main space missions operating from visible to thermal spectral regions and dedicated to Earth phenomena observation are: PRISMA (PRecursore IperSpettrale della Missione Applicativa), ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection), Landsat and ECOSTRESS (ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station). Moreover, the next SBG (Surface Biology and Geology) mission is under study in the framework of the collaboration between ASI (Agenzia Spaziale Italiana) and NASA space agencies.
