Crater Lake

Observations of Deformation

Volcano number:322160
Region:
Country:United States
Geodetic measurements?Yes
Deformation observation?No
Measurement method(s):GPS - continuous, EDM
Duration of observation:1980 - 1984, 2009 - present
Characteristics of deformation:

In 1980-1984 the U.S Geological Survey established and remeasured a trilateration network at Crater Lake, measuring slope distances with EDM. Repeat measurements of this network were probably within measurement error (Chadwick et al. 1985).
In 2009 the U.S Geological Survey Cascades Volcano Observatory installed 4 continuous GPS receivers at the volcano. These instruments show that ground deformation is negligible in the area (CVO website) (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/monitoring/gps/Pacific_Northwest/).
