[听力文本资源]A filmmaker and experienced volcano explorer named Sam Cossman and his crew will descend into Masaya on special heat-resistant suits to install the sensors over the next few weeks. The sensors will gather environmental information from 1,200 feet inside the volcano. They’ll record gas levels, temperature, gravity and atmospheric pressure data.All the data will be collected in Predix,General Electric’sopen-source database, and then made publicly available in raw form and through a website for the general public to enjoy. The sensors are placed in black boxes built to withstand the harsh environment of an active volcano.The project is being carefully documented and publicized on social media. Images and videos, many shot with drones, will be shared on Snapchat,Twitterand YouTube. Armchair volcanologists can watch liveFacebookvideos of the team installing the sensors inside the volcano.More than entertainment, the project could help create a warning system to protect volcano-adjacent communities everywhere.[听力文本资源]1.
