Observations of Deformation
Volcano number: | 221280 |
---|---|
Region: | Africa and Red Sea |
Country: | Ethiopia |
Geodetic measurements? | Yes |
Deformation observation? | No |
Measurement method(s): | InSAR |
Duration of observation: | 1997-2000, 2003-2010 |
Characteristics of deformation: | O’a Caldera is covered by the tracks of InSAR data processed by Biggs et al. (2011), however it is also completely submerged under Lake Shalla. As a result of this, no direct InSAR observations have been made of the caldera. The closest coherent regions to the lake, however, show no deformation. |
