Inaugural meeting of volcano monitoring project in El Salvador, 3/24

This is a true community effort which fundamentally benefited from the great leadership of my colleague Benancio Miranda from the University of El Salvador. The project brings together scientists, teachers, and students from the Earthquake Physics Group at the UofM, University of La Reunion, France, the National University of El Salvador, Ministry of Education, U.S. Embassy in San Salvador and the Ministry of the Environment (MARN).

Here is the first article about the project and a related Blog post.
