Geothermal Application of Active Volcano and Surface Temperature Change of Unzen Volcano with Remote Sensing Technique

Abstract

The direct tapping of earth heat from active volcanoes has, in recent years. Ben the subject of much discussion, but not very much seems yet to have been achieved in the way of tangible results. The first approach for utilizing its heat energy of active volcanoes is to assess its potential heat capacity and its locality. Surface temperature observation worth nighttime Landsta-5 TM data was conducted at active volcano, Unzen Volcano, Japan. Those data was correlated with the surface temperature of lava dome and its temporal change was confirmed. This paper describes the heat assessment of active volcanoes and refers to the advantages of remote sensing techniques for an application of its potentiality assessment.
