Observations of Deformation
Volcano number: | 300130 |
---|---|
Region: | Kamchatka and Mainland Asia |
Country: | Russia |
Geodetic measurements? | Yes |
Deformation observation? | Yes |
Measurement method(s): | InSAR, Levelling, triangulation |
Duration of observation: | 1975 - present; 1992 to 2003 (InSAR) |
Inferred cause(s) of deformation: | Magmatic |
Characteristics of deformation: | Repeated geodetic measurements since 1975 revealed ongoing activity in Karymsky Volcanic Center (Walter, 2007). At a small scale, co-eruptive subsidence has been measured during an eruptive phases in (Maguskin and Sharoglazova, 1993). |
