| Geodetic measurements? | Yes |
| Deformation observation? | Yes |
| Measurement method(s): | InSAR, GPS - continuous |
| Duration of observation: | 2007-2010 (ALOS InSAR), 2014 (COSMO-SkyMed InSAR), 2014 (GPS) |
| Inferred cause of deformation: | Magmatic |
| Characteristics of deformation: |
7 cm uplift were observed in ALOS inSAR at San Miguel between March and October 2007, followed by 6 cm of deflation from October 2007 to January 2008 (Schiek et al., 2008). However, Pritchard et al. (2010) concluded the data regarding ground deformation was inconclusive, and Ebmeier et al. (2013) did not observe any deformation at San Miguel (detection threshold 2.4 cm/year) in ALOS data from 2007 to 2010. |
