Abstract
The 2000 deployment of the NASA DC-8 aircraft to the western Pacific collected large amounts of data of great value to both volcanological and natural hazards research. While data processing is still in its early phase, it is clear that many new analyses in the region will soon be possible. Both the TOPSAR interferometric radar and the MASTER hyperspectral imager are expected to provide significant new insights into numerous targets. This paper reviews some of the science objectives of the deployment, and presents some first-results for selected targets
