Deformation observation? | Yes |
Measurement method(s): | InSAR, Thermal Image data |
Duration of observation: | Thermal data of November 2004, InSAR 2002 and 2015 |
Inferred cause(s) of deformation: | Magmatic |
Characteristics of deformation: | Delgado et al., 2017, found episodes of deformation at the Volcano. Mainly, the VEI 2 March 3, 2015 Villarrica eruption was followed by a short lived uplift of 5 cm in the SE part of the volcano from a source depth of ~ 6 km. |
