We present results from the 3-year CEOS volcano pilot project, which aims to monitor all Latin America 315 Holocene volcanoes at least 4 times/year make available. It is hoped that the regional study will and the ~50 erupting or deforming volcanoes at least demonstrate that Earth observation data can help to monthly. The pilot will incorporate satellite observations to identify volcanoes that may become active in the future track deformation, gas, ash, and thermal emissions as well as track eruptive activity that may impact provided in collaboration with multiple space agencies. populations and infrastructure on the ground and in the Within the pilot framework, we present preliminary InSAR results at Llaima, Villarrica and Calbuco volcanoes, all of air, ultimately leading to improved targeting for which had recent unrest, but none of which had a simple permanent satellite-based observations and in-situ relation between eruption and ground deformation volcanic monitoring efforts.
