Observations of Deformation
Volcano number: | 221127 |
---|---|
Region: | Africa and Red Sea |
Country: | Ethiopia |
Geodetic measurements? | Yes |
Deformation observation? | No |
Measurement method(s): | InSAR |
Duration of observation: | 2005 - 2010 |
Characteristics of deformation: | This collection of fissure vents sits in the Manda Gargori rift, the youngest riting segment in this region. Pagli, et al. (2014), for the purposes of investigating regional velocity fields, has looked at Envisat InSAR data covering this volcano. They report no deformation. No historical activity has been officially reported, but human footprints in ashfall deposits suggests a historical-age eruption (Siebert and Simkin, 2002). |
