Antisana

Observations of Deformation

Volcano number:352030
Region:
Country:Ecuador
Geodetic measurements?Yes
Deformation observation?No
Measurement method(s):InSAR
Duration of observation:2007-2011
Characteristics of deformation:

Preliminary ALOS results found Antisana had periods of both inflation and deflation between 2007 and 2008, coincident with a period of high LP seismic actiity (Mothes et al., 2008). However, a regional ALOS survey of Northern Andes Volcanoes found no deformation at Antisana between 2007 and 2011 looking at a larger dataset (Morales Rivera et al., 2016). The preliminary deformation observations are therefore likely to have been atmospheric noise.
