The Japanese box must be checked in person, which is pretty risky for volcanologists, since it’s usually being checked because an eruption is expected at any moment. Dr. 2) is designing an electronic Japanese box to make it safer to get readings just before an eruption. It will send information to a remote observatory. Williams’s instrument uses tiny electrochemical sensors that create currents proportional to the amounts of various volcanic gases in the air. Another device under development for remote gas monitoring was originally used to monitor toxic gases from factory smokestacks.
3. The daily work schedule of the field party should be left with local authorities or colleagues who remain outside the hazardous area. Danger on the Job June 1991: Three volcanologists and 40 other people were killed when they were engulfed by a pyroclastic flow from the collapse of a lava dome at Unzen volcano, Japan. January 1993: Six volcanologists and three other people were killed by an explosive eruption at Galeras volcano, Colombia. March 1993: Two volcanologists were killed by a phreatic explosion at the crater of Guagua Pichincha volcano, Ecuador.
They interpret the results of the monitoring and make hazard assessments, create response plans, and design public education programs. Observatory equipment can also be mobilized, so that volcanologists can monitor volcanoes in remote areas, while working on hazard teams. As part of their jobs in an observatory, volcanologists study the impact of a volcano on the environment, including the effects of volcanic gases on the atmosphere, 41 42 Volcanologist increased sediment in streams and on the life-forms that depend on them.
