Characteristics of deformation: |
Two geodetic studies with very similar time frames (early 2007-2009) have been performed concerning Talang, though only one was centred on this volcano. A campaign GPS survey performed by Kriswati et al showed a very slight inflation on the edifice’s southern slope, which the authors attribute to an accumulation of tectonic stress associated with faulting; a series of right-reverse fault shear zones cut through the top of the volcano. |
