Volcano number:	300180
Region:	Kamchatka and Mainland Asia
Country:	Russia
Geodetic measurements?	Yes
Deformation observation?	No
Measurement method(s):	InSAR
Duration of observation:	1992 to 2003
Inferred cause of deformation:	[]
Characteristics of deformation:	Lungdren and Lu (2006) analyzed RADARSAT-1 interferograms at Uzon caldera. They show that “from 2000 to 2003 approximately 0.15 m of inflation occurred at Uzon caldera, extending beneath adjacent Kikhpinych volcano”. Pritchard and Simons present ERS-1 and -2 and RADARSAT data for northern Kamchatka between 1992 and 2003, although most volcanoes are only covered during the last three years. There is a complete list of observations in the GSA Data Repository Item 2004139. The Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (IVS FEB RAS) and Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT) are responsible for monitoring volcanoes and providing aviation alerts.
