Interferograms are images created by radar satellites that show how the ground has changed shape, or deformed, over time. This week's #VolcanoWatch dives into one of the trickiest parts of interpreting interferograms: the perspective of satellites. usgs.gov/observatories/hvo/n…

La memoria historica nunca se debe perder sobre todo en un evento de la Erupción del Volcán de Fuego del 3 Junio, se debe tener presente siempre lo que ha ocurrido en años atras, para poder mejorar el sistema, y tener un mejor pronostico para evacuaciones preventivas.
