Volcano number: | 311210 |
---|---|
Region: | Alaska |
Country: | United States |
Geodetic measurements? | Yes |
Deformation observation? | Yes |
Measurement method(s): | InSAR |
Duration of observation: | 2004 - 2009 |
Inferred cause(s) of deformation: | Surface deposits |
Characteristics of deformation: | Interferograms show that the lava flow field on the northern flank of the volcano subsided at ~3 mm/yr between 2004 – 2009 due to thermoelastic contraction. |
