It is thus responsible for monitoring French active volcanoes in Reunion island (Indian ocean), Soufrière (Guadeloupe), and Montagne Pelée (Martinique) and seismicity in the French Lesser Antilles Arc, for the French contribution to global seismologic via GEOSCOPE, and to tsunami monitoring in the Indian Ocean and in the Caribbean Sea, and for the French contribution to INTERMAGNET (world magnetic observatories). The Karthala Volcanic Observatory is actively contributing to the GLOBVOLCANO project. |
