Airborne Research Focuses on Andean Volcanoes - Volcanoes in Central and South America were the primary focus of a four-week Earth science study in late April and early May 2014 using a NASA-developed airborne synthetic aperture imaging radar. The synthetic aperture radar developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory mounted on NASA's C-20A research aircraft captured this image of Peru's Ubinas volcano on April 14, 2014, during its Latin American research mission. The false colors represent different polarizations in the image.
