ITER AREAS ACTIVITIES PRESS ROOM VISITS ENVIRONMENT THE ENVIRONMENTAL AREA The ITER Environment Area was launched in 1997 with the main objective of improving volcanic risk management in the Canary Islands and in other regions with volcanic risk such as Japan, Papua New Guinea, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Cape Verde, Italy, Ecuador and Azores, through the advancement of scientific knowledge, cooperation, training and dissemination. Parallel to this line of research, the activities of the Environment Area are related to underground water resources and environmental quality, more specifically with the analysis and evaluation of atmospheric pollutants through the use of remote optical sensors. Other of his lines of research are related to the monitoring and prediction of earthquakes through the use of geochemical techniques, as well as the exploration of geothermal resources through geochemical methods. Likewise, it is worth highlighting the important work carried out to bring science and volcanoes closer to society through the development of scientific dissemination and public awareness programs, among which stand out “Planeta Vivo Radio”, “Teleplaneta” or “Canarias: una volcanic window in the Atlantic ”.
