Ground deformation monitoring in Azores (2024-07-16)

Since June 2022, a seismic crisis in Terceira Island, was initiated. Increasing seismic activity in the Island since 2022, lead the Institute of Volcanology of the University of the Azores (IVAR) to increase the volcanic alert level of Santa Barbara volcano on Terceira Island to level 3. Therefore, the objective of the current activation is to employ SAR Interferometry, to asses ground displacements in Terceira Island and provide to the SRPCBA, valuable insights on the deformation trends in the AOI, following the years after the Copernicus European Ground Motion Service (EGMS, https://egms.land.copernicus.eu/) analysis until 2022.
