Objectives	The goal of the GlobVolcano project was to demonstrate EO integrated services in the field of early warning of volcanic risks on a worldwide selection of volcanoes with active participation of mandated user organisations. The project acted as platform to users and service providers to harmonise information needs and develop a set of key tools addressing them. The GlobVolcano project objectives were to: Define EO based services for volcanic observatories based on the user requirements; Integrate latest EO technology with state of the art ground based observations; Demonstrate and implement the services at various volcanic observatories and other mandated organisations e.g. civil protection agencies; Validate of the services; Develop and maintain a "Globvolcano database".
