Ground deformation of Long Valley caldera and Mono Basin, eastern California, mapped by satellite radar interferometry

Abstract

We have illustrated the key results of the Differential SAR Interferometry (DInSAR) analysis focused on the ground deformation of Long Valley caldera and Mono Basin, eastern California. In particular, we have applied the DInSAR algorithm referred to as Small BAseline Subset (SBAS) approach and processed 21 SAR images, spanning the time interval from 1992 to 2000, acquired from descending arbits by the ERS‐1 and ERS‐2 sensors of the European Space Agency (ESA). The deformation affecting the resurgent dome of Long Valley caldera has been highlighted as well as the previously unreported subsidence of the Pahoa island, located in Mono Lake.
