# VPMI

> Volcan Poas Mirador

## Station Information

**Location:** Mirador (lookout point), Poas volcano, Costa Rica

**Installation Date:** February 2024 (AVERT field workshop)

**Instrumentation:**

* MEMS-based Wee-g micro-gravimeter (University of Glasgow)
* Continuous data output via serial communication interface
* Integrated into the AVERT node control software

**Network Role:**

* First continuous MEMS gravimeter deployed on any volcano worldwide
* Complements GNSS and gas observations to constrain processes in the hydrothermal system and shallow magmatic reservoir
* Serves as a test of the AVERT platform's extensibility to new sensor types

**Site Characteristics:**

* Hub station for the Poas AVERT network
* Co-located with Starlink satellite telemetry, weather station, infrared camera, and web camera
* Equipped with a larger power system (300 W solar panel, 2-4 x 100 Ah batteries) to support the full suite of instruments and telemetry

**Data Access:**

* Gravimetric data currently archived at LDEO, being transferred to the University of Glasgow for processing
