RELATED ARTICLE: Spectrometers and spectroscopy get faster, better, cheaper Ocean Optics' Flame spectrometers will be flown directly below volcanic plumes on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), taking differential optical absorption spectrometry (DOAS) measurements to quantify sulphur dioxide (SO2) levels, with the goal of better understanding volcanic effects on climate. The ' Trail by Fire' project, funded by a grant from Land Rover and the Royal Geographical Society, will attempt to quantify the total amount of volatile chemical elements released by volcanoes in Chile and Peru.
Ocean Optics (Dunedin, FL) has sponsored a team of volcanologists on a mission to study volcanoes in the South American Andes, providing Flame miniature spectrometers and accessories.
