The monitoring of the release of gasses into the atmosphere by natural and man-made sources is a necessary and challenging task, due to the several effects that gasses have in the dynamics of the complex atmospheric system and their consequences for life. Recent advances in spectroscopy, the emerging of new materials and the increased capabilities of computers have allowed to develop and implement many gas monitoring techniques such us Correlation Spectroscopy (COSPEC), Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) which have been successfully used in Ecuador. Here we present the results of the remote sensing techniques used in Ecuadorian Volcanoes.
