Supersite Objectives
Further to the GSNL general objectives, the Nicaragua volcano Supersite has the following specific objectives:
To obtain satellite data that serve as a tool for strengthening volcanic monitoring and surveillance in Nicaragua, as well as basis for scientific studies for comprehensive disaster risk management, and thus to provide a timely response to the Nicaraguan population living in the vicinity of active volcanic structures and other areas affected by natural hazards.
