Key outcomes 1) identification of volcanoes that are in a state of unrest in Latin America; 2) comprehensive tracking of unrest and eruptive activity using satellite data in support of hazards mitigation activities; 3) validation of EO-based methodology for improved monitoring of surface deformation; 4) improved EO-based monitoring of key parameters for volcanoes that are about to erupt, are erupting, or have just erupted, especially in the developing world (where in-situ resources may be scarce) Deformation of several volcanoes was detected in an arc-wide InSAR survey of South America by Pritchard and Simons, 2002.
