The Geodesy and Seismology Group is part of the Marine Geosciences Department at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS). The group's state-of-the-art research techniques include Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), Global Positioning System (GPS), Ground-based Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), Seismic to

mography and Earthquake relocation. These techniques are applied to quantify and evaluate changes in Earth's land and water surfaces. Our applications involve seismology, ground deformation, plate tectonics, cryosphere studies, vegetation monitoring, hydrology, carbon sequestration and subsidence of urban and coastal areas. Our work is sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Department of Energy (DOE), the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD).

Evidence collected following the 2011 eruption of Japan’s Shinmoedake volcano suggests that the powerful event affected the behavior of an active caldera nearby.

Check out our recently published collaborative study on Cotopaxi volcano, showing InSAR and GPS measured deformation prior to the 2015 eruptions, concurrent with an increase of seismic activity! http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2017GL073720/full

Cotopaxi volcano started a period of volcanic unrest in April 2015 that led to a series of eruptions between August and November 2015. We use COSMO‐SkyMed Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar supported...

Hi Volcanologists and crust deformation modelers,
Consider participating in AGU 2017 session on volcano deformation models. Feel free share!!

https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm17/preliminaryview.cgi/Session24505

using numerical/experimental models to better fit observed ground deformation at different scales (focused but not limited to magma storage, magma propagation, and edifice instability)
