NASA’s Innovative Method: Tree Health as a Volcano Eruption Indicator

NASA’s Groundbreaking Study

Nasa has made a significant breakthrough in volcanic activity detection. By utilizing satellite imagery, researchers can monitor the health of trees around volcanoes. This new method could potentially enhance our ability to predict eruptions and issue early warnings. The study indicates that trees near volcanoes appear greener when an eruption is imminent. This greening effect suggests that changes in the local environment may signal volcanic unrest.
