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...
