A team of researchers has used drones with advanced sensors to study land structure and gas emissions in the area of the Muddy Volcanoes.

The National Research-Development Institute for Earth Physics has carried out tests with drones equipped with LiDAR technology and other sensors in the area of the Muddy Volcanoes. The aim is to decipher the structure of the unstable terrain, monitor gas emissions and identify areas vulnerable to landslides. The GeoEduLab research team is familiarizing themselves with aerial methods, and the data collected will contribute to our understanding of geological hazards. This campaign adds to the knowledge about the Mud Volcanoes and can be applied to other regions with similar risks.
