Observations of Deformation
Volcano number: | 263240 |
---|---|
Region: | Indonesia |
Country: | Indonesia |
Geodetic measurements? | Yes |
Deformation observation? | No |
Measurement method(s): | InSAR |
Duration of observation: | 2006 to 2011 |
Characteristics of deformation: | Saepuloh et al (2013) stated that Mt Merbabu, which is only 10 km north of Mt Merapi, has been inactive for centuries thus no deformation is expected and was used as an InSAR reference point to study ground deformation prior to the eruption of Mt Merapi. |
Reference(s): | Saepuloh, A., Urai, M., Aisyah, N., Widiwijayanti, C., & Jousset, P. (2013).
