Silent volcanic gas buildup revealed six months before La Palma eruption
Scientists have discovered a method to detect the buildup of volcanic gases before an eruption by analyzing seismic ambient noise. This technique identified gas accumulation six months prior to the La Palma eruption, offering a new tool for early warning systems. The advancement may enhance eruption prediction and help mitigate risks for nearby communities.
Scientists discovered a new method to detect volcanic gas buildup before an eruption by using seismic ambient noise, which helped predict the La Palma eruption six months in advance.
