- Abstract:
- This project will combine newly-developed remote sensing technology with soil to quantify spatial and temporal changes in soil chemistry due to the ongoing deposition of H2SO4, HCl and HF in the vicinity of two persistently active volcanoes. The project will be in collaboration with a NASA EOS/IDS project and will make extensive use of their equipment, resources and personnel. Hypotheses generated from this study will be used as the foundation for a large-scale investigation on the potential of volcanoes for long-term soil degradation.
