| Volcano number: | 222052 |
|---|---|
| Region: | Africa and Red Sea |
| Country: | Kenya |
| Geodetic measurements? | Yes |
| Deformation observation? | Yes |
| Measurement method(s): | InSAR |
| Duration of observation: | January 2007 - January 2010 |
| Inferred cause of deformation: | Hydrothermal, Magmatic |
| Characteristics of deformation: |
Subsidence has been observed at Silali between 2007 – 2010. A radially symmetric signal centred on the calderas western edge (-1.6 +/- 0.4 cm/yr los displacement) was observed using ALOS data. This deformation is believed to have occurred at a linear rate of -1.5 +/- 0.8 cm/yr, and can be modelled as a point geometry at a depth of 3.9 km (Robertson, 2015). |
