On 2025-12-28 #TROPOMI has detected an enhanced SO2 signal of 4.98DU at a distance of 30.4km to #Nyiragongo. Other nearby sources: #Nyamuragira. #DLR_inpuls @tropomi #S5p #Sentinel5p @DLR_en @BIRA_IASB @ESA_EO #SO2LH

Goma DRC faces overlapping volcanic hazards 🌋☁️💧 and conflict that weakens monitoring. In a #DRRvoices blog post, Dr Charles Balagizi shows why urgent, locally grounded early warning systems are essential. Lives depend on faster action. Read more ➡️ ow.ly/Tt2p50XslAa

At the @IAVCEI_official Assembly in Geneva, we met to explore the role of volcanoes not just as hazards to avoid, but as natural source of opportunities to help power the future. Read more in my blog published by the @GEOSEC2025

🌋 Rethinking volcanoes: not just threats, but assets. From geothermal energy in Hawaii to volcanic minerals fueling energy transition, science is turning risk into opportunity. Read more in a new blog from @CharlesBalagizi (@GeoGsnl | @VirungaSupersit). Link below.

Better data and technology are essential. That was the pulse at #GPDRR2025 in Geneva. The GEO community showed how Earth intelligence moves from insight to impact: early warnings, ecosystem risk, finance and youth-led innovation. Read more (link below).

A great first day at #GPDRR2025 with the GEO community engaged in discussions on the power of #EarthIntelligenceforAll in disaster risk reduction.

Sustained degassing at #Nyiragongo and #Nyamulagira volcano with SO2 daily emissions up to 7000 tons. Dégazage soutenu aux volcans #Nyiragongo & #Nyamulagira, des émissions de SO2 allant jusqu'à 7 000 tonnes/jour. Thanks @CopernicusEU @MountsSystem

Important dégazage des volcans Nyiragongo et Nyamulagira visible depuis la ville de Goma ce lundi 21 octobre 2024, au soir. Significant degassing of Nyiragongo and Nyamulagira volcanoes visible from the city of Goma this evening of Monday, October 21, 2024.

Des émissions importantes de SO2 sont actuellement observées dans les Virunga en raison de l’éruption en cours du #Nyamulagira (lave débordant de la caldeira) et de l’activité du lac de lave du volcan #Nyiragongo.

Important SO2 emissions are presently observed in the Virunga as a consequence of the ongoing eruption of #Nyamulagira (lava overflowing the caldera) and activity of #Nyiragongo’s lava lake.

1/4 Lake Kivu is one of lakes on Earth containing huge amount of gases tricking a A limnic eruption, also known as a lake overturn and yield natural disaster. In the case of Lake Kivu, the monitoring is mandatory given the fact that Lake Kivu is located in the field of very

Nyiragongo, one of the world's most beautiful and active volcanoes, is a large stratovolcano near Lake Kivu at the eastern border of DR Congo with Rwanda in the Virunga National Park. On June 25, 2024, Copernicus #Sentinel2 captured a small volcanic activity. #ImageOfTheDay
