Two main decisions were made in Argentina tomitigate the impact of the recent volcanic activity in de country basicallyaffected by the presence of volcanic ash in the air and deposited over theArgentinean territory. The first one was to create a risk management commissionwere this risk between others were studied, and second to develop new groundbased remote sensing technologies to be able to identify and inform the riskclose to the airports. In addition The Japanese government program for Scienceand Technology joint Research Partnership between Argentina, Chile and Japanfor Sustainable Development (SATREPS) accepted to fund this cooperation due tothe potential future utilization of the research outcomes to the benefit of thesociety. This work present the actual achievements and expected advance ofthese projects that try to joint efforts between national and internationalagencies as well as countries on behalf of a better understanding of the risksand a joint collaboration on the mitigation of suspended ashes impact over theaerial navigation.
