Observations of Deformation
Volcano number: | 382010 |
---|---|
Region: | Atlantic Ocean |
Country: | Portugal |
Geodetic measurements? | Yes |
Deformation observation? | Yes |
Measurement method(s): | InSAR, GPS - campaign |
Duration of observation: | 2006 to 2009 |
Inferred cause(s) of deformation: | Uncertain |
Characteristics of deformation: | An integrated InSAR and GPS vertical deformation, between 2006 and 2010 map, at Fayal volcano identified a large continuous area of subsidence on the west of Fayal island, on the flank of Capelinhos eruption cone. There was a maximum subsidence range of 10 mm/yr (Catalão et al., 2010). The source of deformation was not studied. |
