Observations of Deformation
| Volcano number: | 221220 |
|---|---|
| Region: | Africa and Red Sea |
| Country: | Ethiopia |
| Geodetic measurements? | Yes |
| Deformation observation? | No |
| Measurement method(s): | InSAR |
| Duration of observation: | 2003-2010 |
| Characteristics of deformation: | Bishoftu (often described as Bishoftu volcanic field, or known as Debre Zeit) is comprised of a series of cinder cones, maars (many of which are filled with water) and tuff rings. Biggs et al. (2011) has investigated the region using InSAR between 2003-2010 and found no evidence for surface deformation. |
