In Manam, Papua New Guinea, volcanologists performed the first fixed-wing drone measurements over the main crater, carrying multigas equipment, DOAS, and collecting carbon samples for isotope analysis.

These measurements are coupled with measurements made on the ground and by satellites.

Results to follow.
