• 7th January 2018 – Felix leaves for Mexico to study active volcanos with drones and UV sensing tools. His project aimed to study the gaseous eruptions as they happen in the field. Felix began this work at Volcan de Colima

• 19th January 2018 – Felix travelled to Quetzaltenango in Guatemala to collect data from the active dome of Santiaguito. Here he used UV cameras to look at the sulphur dioxide and ash content of the volcano plumes. The data collected will help Felix and his team to understand why they explode rather than just slowly produce lava flows and fumaroles
• 22nd January 2018 – Was the last day in the field for Felix at Santiaguito. Drone fly overs revealed the viscous magma oozing out, accompanied by smaller and bigger explosions when the gases needed to escape
