| ______________________ | In April 2000 the Rice Laser Science Group in
collaboration with the geography
group from the University of Cambridge, UK has
successfully conducted a gas emission measurement
campaign at the Masaya volcano located about 30 miles
south of Managua, Nicaragua. Two mid-IR diode laser based
gas sensors developed by the Rice-LSG were deployed along
with a commercial FTIR spectrometer operated by the
Cambridge team. The scientific results of this campaign have been submitted for presentation at the OSA Annual Meeting in Providence, Rhode Island, October, 2000. Below are some selected snapshots taken during this campaign. |
