Surface deformation of 4 active volcanoes captured on InSAR underscore possibility for human hazard, potential of geothermal resources
A team from University of Miami, University of El Paso and University of Rochester used Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) images compiled over a decade to study volcanic activity in the African Rift. A paper, published in the November issue of Geology, focuses on the section of the rift in Kenya. Surface deformation of four active volcanoes underscore possibility for human hazard, as well as the potential of geothermal resources. Credit: J. Biggs, E.Y. Anthony,C.J. Ebinger
