Insar Imaging of Aleutian Volcanoes: Monitoring a Volcanic ARC from Space

Opis

This is the first book dedicated to a better understanding of different styles of volcanism along a single volcanic arc. For each of the Aleutian volcanoes, a deformation model and the inferred magma plumbing system as well as relevant geophysical, geological and geochemical informatioan will be synthesized to provide insights into the volcanic system and its relation to nearby systems. For each Aleutian volcano, at least one high-resolution radar intensity image with unprecedented radiometric accuracy is presented to facilitate feature indentification and geomorphic studies. These images are being produced using a technique developed to incorporate information from multiple images to reduce noise and improve accuracy.

O autorze

Dr Zhong Lu and Dr Daniel Dzurisin have worked closely together for several years on InSAR projects in the Aleutian volcanic arc and have co-authored 16 papers on planetary geology and volcanology, as well as a chapter on InSar in Dr Dzurisin’s first Springer-Praxis book, Volcano Deformation – Geodetic Monitoring Techniques.
