Geodetic measurements? | Yes |
Deformation observation? | Yes |
Measurement method(s): | InSAR |

Inferred cause(s) of deformation: | Faulting/tectonics |
Characteristics of deformation: | An earthquake swarm at Ticsani in 2005 was accompanied by joint uplift and subsidence that was well fit by linear slip of 0.4 m on a dipping fault plane at 4 km depth (Holtkamp et al. 2011). |
