Our Mission
To provide state-of-the-art UV imaging and monitoring tools to the environmental and remote sensing community worldwide.
We are the VolcanoTech team, experts in environmental ultraviolet (UV) imaging. We are based out of the University of Sheffield (UK) within the UoS School of Geography and Planning. We develop Raspberry Pi driven UV camera systems tailored towards the measurement of Sulphur Dioxide at volcanoes, for temporary and permanent monitoring installations. Our aim is to enhance access to volcanic forecasting technology for communities who need it most. However, we also take bespoke requests for other environmental UV imaging and gas sampling scenarios. We have valued partnerships and collaborations worldwide across Europe, North and South America, and Asia.
We are a recently incorporated (January 2026) startup aiming to bring our PiCam systems to a broader market. Making remote sensing equipment that is more affordable and accessible was what drove us to design and create our Pi based monitoring systems. Now we want to see that vision in action.
We believe the planet matters, so wherever possible we work with local suppliers and aim to use eco friendly packaging, keeping our carbon footprint to a minimum.
