To measure the chemical condition of Atmosphere researchers have built miniaturized version of Laser heterodyne radiometry technique, called Mini-LHR. It can withstand even in the hostile environment and precisely monitor atmosphere.
Mount Sinabung, the Indonesian volcano, has recently started spewing dust and smoke. The population living in the vicinity of this volcano had to be evacuated to safety.
Scientists found in their recent study that several volcanic eruptions helped Mars to form an atmosphere. Several gasses that emitted during the eruptions, could be the home of some microorganisms that can survive in anoxic condition.
NASA pulled off a scientific double play in Hawaii this winter, using the same instruments and aircraft to study both volcanoes and coral reefs. Besides helping scientists understand these two unique environments better, the data will be used to evaluate the possibility of preparing a potential future NASA satellite that would monitor ecosystem changes and natural hazards.
