This February a new observatory will be installed to monitor activity at the Colima Volcano around the clock. Monitoring the volcano will require the installation of 8 GPS systems, 6 cameras, and seismic measuring networks from CUCosta in Puerto Vallarta and Ciudad Guzman being linked together, along with a joint effort of the Center of Seismology and Volcanology CUCosta and civil protection.
The volcano is active but considered low risk for eruption at this time, even though this past November it briefly released pressure and threw ash over 2 kilometers. There was also a brief eruption in January of 2014 . . .
