Observations of Deformation
| Volcano number: | 221141 |
|---|---|
| Region: | Africa and Red Sea |
| Country: | Ethiopia |
| Geodetic measurements? | Yes |
| Deformation observation? | No |
| Measurement method(s): | InSAR |
| Duration of observation: | 2002 - 2010 |
| Characteristics of deformation: | Pagli, et al. (2014), for the purposes of investigating regional velocity fields, has looked at Envisat InSAR data covering this volcano. They do not mention any deformation between 2005 – 2010. In contrast however, Bridges et al., (2011) report ~ 3 cm of inflation between 2007 – 2008. |
