This NASA website documents the detection, tracking and measurement of volcanic eruption plumes from space. The site features an image archive of satellite data that has been used to create maps and measure sulfur dioxide, volcanic ash, and aerosol emissions by volcanoes since 1978. The site also provides an extensive list of links to other volcanology-related resources.
