Halogen activation in the plume of Masaya volcano: field observations and box model investigations
(Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020)Volcanic emissions are a source of halogens to the atmosphere. Rapid reactions convert the initially emitted hydrogen halides (HCl, HBr, HI) into reactive species e.g. BrO, Br2, BrCl, ClO, OClO and IO. The activation ... -

Implementation of electrochemical, optical and denuder-based sensors and sampling techniques on UAV for volcanic gas measurements: examples from Masaya, Turrialba and Stromboli volcanoes
(European Geosciences Union, 2018-04-26)Volcanoes are a natural source of several reactive gases (e.g., sulfur and halogen containing species) and nonreactive gases (e.g., carbon dioxide) to the atmosphere. The relative abundance of carbon and sulfur in volcanic ... -
La incandescencia en el Volcán Turrialba (Nota técnica 01 de noviembre 2016)
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2016)La incandescencia en los volcanes es tal vez uno de los elementos más visuales y llamativos a larga distancia. Observada en las noches o con un horizonte oscuro la luminosidad que desprenden los materiales y gases calientes ... -
Insights Into the Mechanisms of Phreatic Eruptions From Continuous High Frequency Volcanic Gas Monitoring: Rincón de la Vieja Volcano, Costa Rica
(Frontiers Media, 2019-01-11)Understanding the trigger mechanisms of phreatic eruptions is key to mitigating the effects of these hazardous but poorly forecastable volcanic events. It has recently been established that high-rate volcanic gas ... -
Insights on Hydrothermal‐Magmatic Interactions and Eruptive Processes at Poás Volcano (Costa Rica) From High‐Frequency Gas Monitoring and Drone Measurements
(AGU Publications, 2019-02-06)Identification of unambiguous signals of volcanic unrest is crucial in hazard assessment. Processes leading to phreatic and phreatomagmatic eruptions remain poorly understood, inhibiting effective eruption forecasting. Our ... -
Integrated velocity field from ground and satellite geodetic techniques: application to Arenal volcano
(Universidad de Oxford, Reino Unido, 2015)Measurements of ground deformation can be used to identify and interpret geophysical processes occurring at volcanoes. Most studies rely on a single geodetic technique, or fit a geophysical model to the results of multiple ... -
Intensidades macrosísmicas del sismo de Capellades del 30 de noviembre de 2016 (Mw = 5,4) y el contexto sísmico de la región central de Costa Rica
