Applying Atmospheric Corrections to the Deformation Behavior of Persistently Restless Telica Volcano, Nicaragua, during Unrest in 2015

Rebecca Bussard

Persistently restless volcanoes experience frequent eruptions with Volcanic Explosivity Index of 2 or lower.  Telica Volcano in Western Nicaragua experienced major unrest beginning in May 2015 through December 2015. We analyze a dataset consisting of 63 images of Telica during 2015 from the COSMO-SkyMED satellite, characterized by a spatial resolution of ~1 m. A multi-temporal analysis of this SAR dataset should provide more insight into the eruptive patterns of Telica and other persistently restless volcanoes.
