• Produce baseline data sets for surveillance of potentially active US volcanoes

• Develop new and improved methods for volcano monitoring and eruption forcasting

• Increase understanding of shallow magma degassing processes relevant to volcano hazards assessments

• Build data bases on emission rates and compositions of volatile emissions from US volcanoes

• Apply new technology to improve capabilities to measure emission rates

• Develop new instrumentation for continuous in situ measurement of gas emissions

• Provide support and direction for Alaska Volcano Observatory, Cascades Volcano Observatory, Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, and Volcano Disaster Assistance Program (VDAP) gas geochemistry activities
