Abstract
In August 2015, Indonesia Center of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (CVGHM) recorded of tectonic activities at Mt. Raung with maximum amplitude 2-32 mm and continuing the tremor quakes until the beginning of the 2016 eruption period. Mt. Raung is located at East Java Province, one of most active stratovolcano in Indonesia, typically erupt with explosive eruptions and another deadly hazards such as pyroclastic flow, lahar and volcanic gases. Radar imagery consequently proposes of value device for mapping and assessing of volcano oppurtunities. By this study, we propose InSAR method to observe deformation in Mt. Raung. Interferometric SAR derives the phase difference based on two images of PALSAR-2 observations taken in January 2015 and January 2016. According to the processing of interferometric SAR, those images must be coregistered into a stack, and we selected 2015 imagery as master and the other imagery as slave. We estimate the interferogram result to know the line-of-sight then be flattened by removing the topographic phase an inflating volcano (or any other landform) produces a pattern of concentric fringes in a radar interferogram from which the ffects of viewing geometry and topography have been removed. Finally, we expect the result ofInSAR processing technique to investigate ground deformation of Mt. Raung. It would be a capable and cost-effective way of enhancing the techniques normally used in geodetic monitoring to assess the next eruptive events.
