Observations of Deformation
Volcano number: | 313020 |
---|---|
Region: | Alaska |
Country: | United States |
Geodetic measurements? | Yes |
Deformation observation? | No |
Measurement method(s): | InSAR |
Duration of observation: | 1995 - 2010 |
Inferred cause(s) of deformation: | Magmatic |
Characteristics of deformation: | Between 1995 – 2000, interferograms show a deformation signal near Iliamna, much of which seems to have occurred during 1996–1997 when a seismic swarm was recorded at the volcano. This seismic swarm has been attributed to a possible dike intrusion. Modelling the InSAR observations for a rectangular dike source yields a best-fit model that is a NW–SE-striking subvertical dike 7 9 8 km in dimension and centered at ~8 km depth. After this time interferograms show no evidence of deformation. |
