Differences in Nyiragongo and Etna Management - Monitoring Democratic Republic Of Congo GDP/C - $816 Goma - POP - 1,000,000 Main industry - agriculture
Italy, Island of Sicily GDP/C - $36,191 Catania - 315,601 Main industry - Petrochemical and tourism Management - MT N Release a 'RED ALERT' to the areas most in danger this allowed people to evacuate, meaning nearly 350,000 could evacuate safely after the initial impact.
Management - MT ETNA Safe evacuation of individuals in the danger zone Channels were dug to divert lava away from main settlements Medical supplies were on standby for the injured. Monitoring - MT N measure carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and methane. A shoe-box-size RAD7 test for radon. 7 seismologists working in the centre (2002) Hazards and risks maps created Geochemistry survey
Measuring the surface area of fissures and craters to check for increases Satellite imagery checking for eruptions of gasses to predict future lava eruptions Monitoring - MT ETNA networks of remote sensors (seismic, geodetic, magnetic, gravimetric and videos) distributed in, seismic and volcanic Sicilian areas for gathering information about geodynamic activity
Analysis of temporal changes energy, chemical and isotopic composition of fluids released Monitoring of gases and groundwater by measurements of soil CO2 , monthly The SO2 from the summit has been measured by correlation spectrometry from vehicles and from a helicopter From this we can see that MT ETNA is more highly monitored. This is probably somewhat due to the fact that Italy is an MEDC with more money to fun research. Italy is also a democratic country that isn't facing civil war like the DRC which means resources are better used in research.
The amount of educated individuals in Italy is higher and so there are more people who are qualified to study the behaviours of the Earth. MT N is very dangerous with a very active lava lake. This makes collecting samples and measuring gasses potentially deadly.
