Observations of Deformation
| Volcano number: | 357100 |
|---|---|
| Region: | South America |
| Country: | Chile |
| Geodetic measurements? | Yes |
| Deformation observation? | Yes |
| Measurement method(s): | InSAR |
| Duration of observation: | 2002-2008 |
| Inferred cause(s) of deformation: | Surface deposits |
| Characteristics of deformation: | An Envisat interferogram from 2002-2008 showed subsidence at Lonquimay with a maximum rate of 2 cm/year (Fournier et al., 2010). The deformation was attributed to subsidence of the andesitic lava flow emplaced during the 1988-1989 eruption of Lonquimay. |
