Observations of Deformation
Volcano number: | 357110 |
---|---|
Region: | South America |
Country: | Chile |
Geodetic measurements? | Yes |
Deformation observation? | Yes |
Measurement method(s): | InSAR |
Duration of observation: | 2003 – 2008 and 2002 and 2015 ref2 |
Inferred cause(s) of deformation: | Magmatic |
Characteristics of deformation: | 4 eruptive events. Maximum summit subsidence and uplift are ∼10 cm and ∼8 cm, respectively.Through inverse modeling of both periods, a deflating and inflating magma body can be inferred, located at a depth of 4 – 12 km, subject to a volume decrease of 10 – 46 × 106 m3 during the subsidence period, followed by a volume increase of 6 – 20 × 106 m3 during the uplift period.
