There's a huge amount of open data being made available by the Sentinel program. High-quality imagery is available at 2-3 day periods of nearly every landmass on earth, for free! No need to take the article's word for it, here's an IR satellite view of the lava in question: https://apps.sentinel-hub.com/eo-browser/?lat=-57.79698&lng=-26.48563&zoom=13&time=2018-03-29&preset=6-SWIR&datasource=Sentinel-2%20L1C https://apps.sentinel-hub.com/eo-browser/?lat=-57.79698&lng=... You can do all sorts of things with this data. Excited to see what the maker community will figure out with it.

  If you'd prefer: https://scihub.copernicus.eu/dhus/ https://scihub.copernicus.eu/dhus/ or https://registry.opendata.aws/sentinel-2/ https://registry.opendata.aws/sentinel-2/ https://www.sentinel-hub.com/ https://www.sentinel-hub.com/ is more for visualizing and playing around with the data in a web app. This study also used historical ASTER data (nice selection of thermal bands), which is available at https://asterweb.jpl.nasa.gov/data.asp https://asterweb.jpl.nasa.gov/data.asp
