Observations of Deformation
| Volcano number: | 221040 |
|---|---|
| Region: | Africa and Red Sea |
| Country: | Eritrea |
| Geodetic measurements? | Yes |
| Deformation observation? | No |
| Measurement method(s): | InSAR |
| Duration of observation: | 2005 - 2010 |
| Characteristics of deformation: | Alid is a elongated (east-west) stratovolcano located in the Danakil depressed, Afar. Deposits are mostly basaltic to rhyolitic lava flows. Pagli, et al. (2014), for the purposes of investigating regional velocity fields, has looked at Envisat InSAR data (2005 – 2010) covering this volcano. They report no deformation. Some fumarolic activity can be found towards this north of this volcano however. |
