Please utilize the parts sections below if this video is too long for you. This video is meant for the “…use SWARM” page which resides under the “How To” menu on my website. This video is a walkthrough of how I use SWARM everyday. Remember I am not a professional and there are still aspects of the program SWARM that I do not fully understand. I hope this helps some of you and lets start monitoring volcanic and tectonic hazard areas with ease and accuracy!

00:01 – Intro/About SWARM
06:22 – Downloading/opening SWARM
12:49 – A look at the many settings for viewing data
