The real-time volcano advisory application, initially for Android devices, provides infographic information on the latest updates of Philippine active volcanoes monitored by DOST-Phivolcs.
To commemorate the devastating 1990 Luzon earthquake on its 30th year, DOST-Phivolcs announced that it will launch a new app called GeoMapperPH on Thursday, July 16.
Phivolcs OIC Renato Solidum Jr. was named DOST undersecretary for scientific and technological services, replacing Carol Yorobe who recently retired from government service.
To be led by the company?s corporate service corps (CSC) members, the program will bring technology and its ?IBM experience? to further aid the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) and the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), a company executive said.
