Putana volcano

The Putana volcano locates on an N-S elongated complex, and currently is dominated by vigorous fumarolic activity. Last eruption was documented 200 years ago. Aim of the activities in the IPOC is to analyse interactions between fumarole activity, earthquakes and flank motion by using remote sensing data.
