Reventador

Observations of Deformation

Volcano number:352010
Region:
Country:Ecuador
Geodetic measurements?Yes
Deformation observation?Yes
Measurement method(s):InSAR
Duration of observation:2002-2004 (Envisat InSAR), 2007-2009 (ALOS InSAR)
Inferred cause(s) of deformation:Surface deposits
Characteristics of deformation:

Following the largest historical eruption of Reventador in 2002, Envisat InSAR between 2004 and 2005 found deformation near the cone, which was attributed to subsidence of lava flows extruded between 2002 and 2004 (Bonvalot et al., 2005).
ALOS InSAR between 2007 and 2009 found subsidence rates of up to ~5 cm/year over the thickest parts of the lava flows (Naranjo et al., 2015).
