Guatemala es un país con una gran diversidad geológica, al sur del país se encuentra la zona de subducción lo que origina una cadena volcánica. En la actualidad se reconocen 25 volcanes activos de los cuales 3 poseen actividad constante y largos periodos eruptivos. Los volcanes Santiaguito, Fuego y Pacaya debido a la actividad que poseen han sido monitorizados y estudiados por varios años, esto nos permite entender tanto los procesos eruptivos, como amenazas potenciales de cada uno de estos. El volcán de Pacaya ha presentado largos periodos eruptivos que corresponden a una actividad efusiva y a explosiones estrombolianas desde 1961. Los flujos de lava alcanzan diferentes longitudes y salen a la superficie en diferentes puntos, algunos cercanos al cono Mackenney. La introducción de nuevas técnicas de mapeo geológico y la implementación de simulaciones para determinar zonas que ...

La actividad volcánica alrededor del mundo es muy variada y compleja. En Guatemala existen alrededor de 43 estructuras que son consideradas como volcanes y que se alinean de oeste a este del país debido a la zona de subducción. A la actualidad la clasificación de volcanes publicada por INSIVUMEH en el ranking de Peligrosidad Volcánica define tres volcanes con actividad diaria significativa: Pacaya, Fuego y Santiaguito, las cuales generan productos volcánicos que afectan poblaciones, infraestructuras, medios de vida y vías aéreas en todo el país (Roca et al., 2021). Debido a su cercanía con la ciudad de Guatemala y los productos volcánicos que genera, el volcán de Pacaya es uno de los volcanes más peligrosos, catalogado como un volcán con un VEI 3, su actividad varía entre efusiva de tipo estromboliana y explosiva con probabilidades de desarrollar actividad subpliniana como...

Volcanic activity is always accompanied by the transfer of heat from the Earth’s crust to the atmosphere. This heat can be measured from space and its measurement is a very useful tool for detecting volcanic activity on a global scale. MIROVA (Middle Infrared Observation of Volcanic Activity) is an automatic volcano hot spot detection system, based on the analysis of MODIS data (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer). The system is able to detect, locate and quantify thermal anomalies in near real-time, by providing, on a dedicated website (www.mirovaweb.it), infrared images and thermal flux time-series on over 200 volcanoes worldwide. Thanks to its simple interface and intuitive representation of the data, MIROVA is currently used by several volcano observatories for daily monitoring activities and reporting. In this paper, we present the architecture of the system and we prov...

Volcanic plumes are common and far-reaching manifestations of volcanic activity during and between eruptions. Observations of the rate of emission and composition of volcanic plumes are essential to recognize and, in some cases, predict the state of volcanic activity. Measurements of the size and location of the plumes are important to assess the impact of the emission from sporadic or localized events to persistent or widespread processes of climatic and environmental importance. These observations provide information on volatile budgets on Earth, chemical evolution of magmas, and atmospheric circulation and dynamics. Space-based observations during the last decades have given us a global view of Earth's volcanic emission, particularly of sulfur dioxide (SO2). Although none of the satellite missions were intended to be used for measurement of volcanic gas emission, specially adapted alg...
