Observations of Deformation

Volcano number:323010
Region:
Country:United States
Geodetic measurements?Yes
Deformation observation?No
Measurement method(s):GPS - continuous, EDM
Duration of observation:1980 - 1984, 2005 - present
Characteristics of deformation:

In 1980-1984 the U.S Geological Survey established and remeasured a trilateration network at Shasta, measuring slope distances with EDM. Repeat measurements of this network were probably within measurement error (Chadwick et al. 1985).
Between 2005 – 2007 9 continuous GPS receivers were installed by UNAVCO and the USGS to make up the continuous monitoring network at Shasta. These instruments show that ground deformation is negligible in the area (CalVO website) (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/monitoring/gps/NCalifornia/).
