3D model of the Kilauea Volcano after the 2018 eruption derived from UAS acquired data

On May 17 NUSO researchers were deployed to the site of the Kilauea Volcanic eruptions to provide UAS data acquisition and processing support. Near 24/7 monitoring of the volcanic activity was provided through September utilizing UAS mounted natural color, thermal and gas sensors. This near real-time monitoring of the volcano and crater that lasted for several months provided a never-before-seen level of scientific measurements and modeling that should help better predict future activity.
