Our first GeoNet data blog - Making the most of Volcanic Alert Level data
Haere mai, welcome to our first GeoNet Data Blog post! This is a new initiative with a focus on GeoNet data-related stories. In some blogs, we plan to talk about specific data sets, and in others more general data information.
We start this new GeoNet adventure with a look at Volcanic Alert Levels. What is GeoNet’s Volcanic Alert Level (VAL) data set and how can you access it? How do we visualize when VAL changes? How can we find out how long a volcano has been at a particular VAL? GeoNet only made this data set available recently, and it’s topical with the recent unrest at Ruapehu volcano.
