Volcán de Colima is a highly active stratovolcano in western Mexico which presents a significant hazard to over 300,000 people who live within ca 40 km of the volcano. Due to its persistent activity, the volcano is actively monitored and researched, and understanding the patterns of behaviour is vital to accurate hazard assessment. Sentinel-1 SAR images from ascending and descending orbits allow 1D and 2D ground motions to be retrieved using multi-interferogram techniques. SqueeSAR ® ’s unique processing allows a better characterisation of subtle ground movements in remote, rural mountainous areas compared to many other multi-interferogram techniques. A dataset of 147 SAR scenes (2017-2019) has been processed to show patterns of lava subsidence (<150 mm of downward vertical deformation over 2 years), as well as volcano deflation and apparent westward lateral movement. These data indicate that viscous andesitic lava flows may remain mobile for years following eruption and emplacement, and that the entire volcanic edifice is subsiding. Despite the apparent quiescence, volcanic edifices can remain highly dynamic after the termination of explosive or effusive activity. We interpret that the western flank of Volcán de Colima may become steeper with time and may be of long-term concern for hazard assessment activities.

Volcán de Colima是墨西哥西部一个高度活跃的层状火山,对居住在火山40公里范围内的30多万人构成了重大威胁。由于火山的持续活动,人们对其进行了积极的监测和研究,了解其行为模式对准确的危害评估至关重要。Sentinel-1从上升和下降轨道获取的SAR图像允许使用多重干涉图技术检索1D和2D地面运动。与许多其他多重干涉图技术相比,SqueeSAR®独特的处理方法可以更好地表征偏远农村山区的细微地面运动。对147个SAR场景(2017-2019)的数据集进行了处理,显示了熔岩沉降(2年内垂直向下变形<150 mm)、火山收缩和明显的西向横向移动的模式。这些数据表明,黏稠的安山岩熔岩流可能在喷发和就位后的数年内保持流动,整个火山大厦正在下沉。尽管表面上是静止的,但火山大厦在爆发或喷发活动结束后仍能保持高度动态。我们解释说,Volcán de Colima的西翼可能会随着时间的推移而变得更陡峭,并且可能是危害评估活动的长期关注。专题合集:本文是地球和其他行星现场调查遥感合集的一部分,可在:https://www.lyellcollection.org/topic/collections/remote-sensing-for-site-investigations-on-earth-and-other-planets上获得
