Observations of Deformation
| Volcano number: | 221122 |
|---|---|
| Region: | Africa and Red Sea |
| Country: | Ethiopia-Djibouti |
| Geodetic measurements? | Yes |
| Deformation observation? | No |
| Measurement method(s): | InSAR |
| Duration of observation: | 2005 - 2010 |
| Characteristics of deformation: | 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 associated with these north-west trending fissures or pyroclastic cones. The most recent confirmed eruption, which consisted of lava flows, was in 1928 or 1929 (Siebert and Simkin, 2002). |
