These results have been reached given the abundance of data that increases the chances to capture unpredictable events, and capture them with the most favorable interferometric conditions as possible (e.g. in terms of geometrical and temporal baselines that minimized the vegetation-induced decorrelation).

Quantitative remote and field assessments of process-based laws are needed to accurately describe landscape uplift and denudation with respect to tectonics and climate.We evaluate and calibrate stream power bedrock-incision model under steady state conditions by studying stream profiles in a tectonically active Central Badakhshan region. Previous work in Pyanj region along Tajikistan-Afghanistan boarder and along Yarkun-Chitral region provides spatial and temporal control on rock-uplift rates. SRTM Digital elevation models (DEMs) are used to estimate differences in landscape morphology associated with along-strike northwest to southeast changes in tectonic and climatic conditions. Data is acquired in different stages; first, River longitudinal profiles, stream wise distance, elevation, and drainage area are generated from DEMs. Second, power-law regressions of channel slope as a function of drainage area are used to derive channel concavity and steepness indices. Slope-area data can be generated in a variety of ways, and several methods have been critically evaluated. An uplift rate map of the area has been prepared for further analysis of the drainage network. Siesmotectonic map of the area is also prepared by using seismological data compiled from various resources. The seismicity in this region shows a distinct pattern. Moment tensor solutions show strike-slip components with thrust dominance. The stream profile data can be used to delineate breaks in scaling that are related with the tectonic boundaries. Analysis of stream profiles supports the hypothesis that the study-area channels are in equilibrium with current uplift and climatic conditions. Channel steepness correlates with uplift rate. The uplift rate map shows variable differential uplift rates in this region and it is due to the ongoing complex faulting processes due to India-Eurasia collision. The quaternary faults in the region control local drainage and the deflection of rivers and stream channels is a further evidence of the recent fault activity. Mapping of some quaternary faults on Landsat data also confirms the change in style of deformation in this region.","PeriodicalId":107318,"journal":{"name":"2008 Second Workshop on Use of Remote Sensing Techniques for Monitoring Volcanoes and Seismogenic Areas","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134321725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A gravity survey was done for structural studies, and InSAR and GPS observations techniques were applied to study the existence of deformation areas in the Island. Gravity anomalies have been inverted using a non-linear three-dimensional gravity inversion approach to obtain the geometry of the anomalous bodies. The main structural feature is a large high density body interpreted as a dense intrusive plutonic body and the pliocene-age uplifted seamount. An elongated minimum is detected below the Cumbre Vieja according to the rift structure. InSAR results show two areas of subsidence, a mild long wavelength signal on the western part of Cumbre Vieja and clear subsidence located on the Teneguia volcano where the last eruption took place in 1971. A GPS network composed by 26 stations covering the island has been defined. Vertical displacements determined by comparing the GPS coordinates obtained in 2007 and in 1994 are consistent with the InSAR results. From the comparison of 2006 and 2007 coordinates we conclude that more time span is needed to obtain clearly significant displacements, but observed trends are also consistent with InSAR results. All the observed significant displacements are at stations located outside of the large high density central body.","PeriodicalId":107318,"journal":{"name":"2008 Second Workshop on Use of Remote Sensing Techniques for Monitoring Volcanoes and Seismogenic Areas","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131202189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ground deformation is monitored in the field by the Volcanological Observatory of Piton de La Fournaise. GPS data reveal the presence of two time scales of ground deformation: (1) large short-term displacements (up to 20×103 mm d-1 ) monitored a few min to hours prior each eruption (2) and since 2000, small long-term ground displacements recorded during pre-eruptive unrests (0.4-0.7 mm d-1 of summit inflation) and after major distal eruptions (0.3-1.3 mm d-1 of summit deflation). The large GPS dataset available to follow the eruptive cycles is particularly useful to validate the remote sensing data as shown by the Globvolcano project. The good correlation between GPS and PSInSAR data recorded during pre-eruptive unrest periods allowed us to validate the ground deformation mapping using PSInSAR data at Piton de La Fournaise.

A comprehensive database of high-resolution multispectral and multitemporal optical satellite imagery exists for Piton de la Fournaise, the active volcano on La Reunion Island. This database, however, remains relatively underexploited in volcanological studies of Piton de la Fournaise. Using a large image data set including SPOT 5 and 4, ASTER and aerial photography, we performed cartography of recent lava flows. Different methods were applied for each sensor in order to extract and map lava flow contours and surface morphology. These methods include photo interpretation as well as fusion of thermal band and optical images. In addition we performed several tests with specific software combining object and spectral based techniques. Subsequently, a simple statistical comparison between different perimeters and areas mapped allowed us to determine a precision ratio. Results show that difficulties in extracting contours arise when the study area is a complex lava flow field where the different lava flows overlap, or have a similar textural and radiometric characteristics.","PeriodicalId":107318,"journal":{"name":"2008 Second Workshop on Use of Remote Sensing Techniques for Monitoring Volcanoes and Seismogenic Areas","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123388435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We evaluated the lava flow hazard on Etna volcano during the first 40 days of May 2008 eruption by means of the MAGFLOW cellular automata model. This model was developed for simulating lava flow paths and the temporal evolution of lava emplacement. Many data are necessary to run MAGFLOW and to determine how far lava will flow. However, for a given composition, the volumetric flux of lava from the vent (i.e. the lava effusion rate) is the principal parameter controlling final flow dimensions. Measuring effusion rates is therefore of great interest. To this end, we developed an automatic system that uses near-real-time infrared satellite data to estimate the lava effusion rates. Such system exploits the satellite data directly received and automatically processed by RST approach at CNR-IMAA, as input information for the prediction of the path lava flows. In particular, hotspots detected by RST, using both AVHRR and MODIS data, have been used to compute time-varying effusion rates, which have been applied to drive lava flow simulation using the original MAGFLOW cellular automata algorithm. Achieved results confirm the reliability of two methodologies (i.e. RST approach and MAGFLOW model), as well as the potential of the whole integrated processing chain, as an effective tool for real-time monitoring and mitigation of volcanic hazard.","PeriodicalId":107318,"journal":{"name":"2008 Second Workshop on Use of Remote Sensing Techniques for Monitoring Volcanoes and Seismogenic Areas","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130843239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
