In the early 1980s, Michel Gantès participated in the development of an oxygen sensor dedicated to predict the imminence of a volcanic eruption, as part of his doctoral thesis. In collaboration with Haroun Tazieff`s team, he developed a method for predicting volcanic eruptions based on following the rise of magma and the evolution of its gas phase. This method required the measurement of the oxygen partial pressure in the fumes. Michel Gantès has acquired theoretical experience in a leading research laboratory, and also practical experience in the rough conditions of research very near the volcano craters, close the gases. It motivated him to develop cutting-edge gas analysis technologies.
