Observations of Deformation
Volcano number: | 371090 |
---|---|
Region: | Iceland and Arctic Ocean |
Country: | Iceland |
Geodetic measurements? | Yes |
Deformation observation? | No |
Measurement method(s): | InSAR, GPS - continuous, GPS - campaign, Levelling, Strainmeter, Tiltmeter, EDM |
Characteristics of deformation: | The Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) leads long-term monitoring of geohazards in Iceland and is responsible for maintaining instrument networks for this purpose. FutureVolc detail a description of in-situ monitoring networks in Iceland and available results. In-situ instrumentation to monitor geological hazards in Iceland includes seismic, GPS, strain, hydrological, radar, infrasound networks, and scanning DOAS spectrometers. With InSAR, the volcanoes in Iceland are not covered by a single systematic study but 85% of them have been included in separate studies of volcanic, seismic, cryospheric or geothermal processes (Biggs et al., 2014). |
