The Turkish National Commission for Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth’s Interior and Hacettepe University undertake some monitoring in Turkey. Three volcanoes have records of historic activity – Nemrut Dagi, Ararat (Agri Dagi) and Tendürek Dagi. Of these, only Nemrut Dagi, has three seismometers dedicated to the monitoring of the volcano (Brown et al., 2015).

No specific details about volcano deformation at Ararat are presented in Bathke et al. (2011). The authors state “The InSAR data shows various localized but evident deformation processes related to volcano flank motion, summit subsidence as well as shallow earthquake activity.”
