India says its space program, which also includes a plan to send manned moon missions, helps its scientists develop technology that can be used in other sectors.
The aim is to establish a platform for scientists and information technology experts and improve cooperation between researchers, governments, policy-makers and civil society to produce the knowledge and technology needed to build sustainable, green societies.
Seismologist Susanna Falsaperla told CNN that developments in technology mean scientists can now monitor every single change on the volcano.
But scientists point to other technology developed from military systems, such as GPS satellite navigation, which has come down in price and is now increasingly popular.
But with consistent and rapid improvements in technology, scientists are no longer able to keep pace with the rate of data generation, which includes interrelated data of different types.
Rosetta's technology lets scientists look at that mountain of genetic code from above, helping them pick out the genes they need to know about from the entirety of the genome.

In an amazing advance, scientists at Advanced Cell Technology reported this week in The Lancet that they used embryonic stem cells to restore partial vision to 2 patients who were legally blind.
GSK's two predecessor companies, SmithKline Beecham and Glaxo Wellcome, which merged to form GSK in 2000, had been among the first to invest in gene-hunting technology that scientists once thought would fast lead to a bushelful of new drugs.
Thanks to its quick turnaround speeds, the technology also enables scientists to test multiple designs at once.
Scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology are working on an even more automated solution.
Another group of patients who may find such technology useful, scientists say, is those with severe macular degeneration.
The technology will allow scientists to detect that water and see how much is present under the ice.
The expedition also used "telepresence" technology that allowed scientists and citizens on shore to partake in the exploration via the Internet as it happened.
This significant improvement in technology can help scientists begin to answer critical questions about our oceans: Where are the impacts of acidification the greatest?
That's where Rosetta (nasdaq: RSTA - news - people) comes in: Its technology can help scientists discern what proteins each gene makes.
New laboratory technology is enabling scientists to see more clearly what is going on inside a baby's brain and monitor how it interacts with its environment.
Wireless technology has allowed scientists and researchers to pepper internet-enabled sensors far beyond the range of the wired grid, but the issue of powering these devices still remains.

It is where you find out about each new mission, but also where you tell scientists to start exploring new technology or have engineers build a containment area so you can interrogate alien captives.
The scientists at the California Institute of Technology were moved to tears on Sunday night.
Just as high-speed technology transformed the way scientists discover drugs, Symyx is poised to do the same for materials.
FORBES: Upstart Symyx is shaking up the stodgy chemicals industry.
The scientists hope that the new coating technology should be available in industry within the next six to eight years.
Working with scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, ArvinMeritor researchers found an answer: the plasma fuel reformer, or plasmatron.
Assuming the group loves the concept, a company will then have multiple meetings with scientists in that therapeutic area or technology.
So, look, I have confidence in American businesses and American technology, and American scientists and entrepreneurs being able to win that competition.

In January, the New York City Office of Emergency Management contracted with scientists at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, N.
The new firm, Codon Devices , is aiming to perfect a new technology that would allow scientists to edit sequences of DNA with never-before-seen ease.
It was not until 1999 that the Forensic Science Service (FSS) developed technology to enable its scientists to find a full DNA profile of Marion's killer.
CANTANIA, Italy (CNN) -- There is no way to stop Europe's highest volcano from erupting, but technology is increasingly helping scientists to prevent natural disasters becoming human tragedies.
First, however, scientists will have to demonstrate the technology on a larger structure, of course, and they'll explore the possibility of other energy sources, like heat, sound and vibration.
