Abstract: Since December 1994, activity at Popocatépetl has evolved through two main phases. The first was characterized by elevated seismic activity, degassing, and emissions of predominantly lithic ash. However, in March 1996 the volcano entered a magmatic phase, which has involved the emplacement of at least eight lava domes within its summit crater. We have used infrared radiance data acquired by the GOES meteorological satellite alongside ground‐based geophysical data sets to analyze aspects of this activity. We develop a technique to identify ma...
