Participation in the radio program “90 Seconds of Science”
Professor Alexandra Moutinho Department of Mechanical Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) and researcher at the Institute of Mechanical Engineering (IDMEC), participated in the radio program “90 Segundos de Ciência” on Antena 1, where she spoke about the SONDA project.
Shee mentioned that the SONDA project aims to complement the existing means of environmental monitoring via satellite.
She also revealed that it was possible to detect ash and gases expelled by the Cumbre Vieja volcano in the volcanic plume, at ground level, and in aquatic probes, which also allowed us to understand how the lava that had reached the coastal area was affecting that location.
