The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) is a collaborative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey, the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute, and the State of Alaska Division of Geological Geophysical Surveys. They monitor and study volcanic activity in Alaska, providing real-time information and alerts to the public.
Using a network of seismic and infrasound sensors, web cameras, satellite data, and regional monitoring networks, AVO keeps a close eye on volcanoes such as Great Sitkin, Kanaga, and Shishaldin. Their goal is to detect and analyze any signs of volcanic unrest or eruptions, ensuring the safety of local communities and providing valuable data for scientific research.
