Digivolcan, an anticipation digital tool for volcanic eruptions in the Canary Islands.

The objective of this project, led by INVOLCAN and with the participation of ITER, is to implement a system for the automatic analysis of volcanic monitoring data. 

The first partner meeting of the DIGIVOLCAN project “A digital tool for the anticipation of eruptions took place the 20 of February 2023 together with execution phase, which will extend for the next three years until 2025.

This project, led by the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (INVOLCAN), counts with the participation of the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER), the University of La Laguna (ULL), the University of Granada (UGR) and the Aragon Photonics Labs company.

The purpose of DIGIVOLCAN is to launch a system for the automatic analysis of volcanic monitoring data, recorded by INVOLCAN, through cutting-edge technologies based on artificial intelligence. These tools will strengthen the volcanic early warning system in the Canary Islands, which will be configured as a “natural laboratory” of excellence in volcanic surveillance.

The project also foresees the realization of a web interface for the visualization of the data elaborated that can be used by the civil protection authorities, as well as by all citizens.

This project is co-financed by the State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation 2021-2023, within the framework of the R+D+i projects in strategic lines 2022 (PLEC2022-009271), the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (INVOLCAN) and the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER).
