GPS Measurements of Crustal Deformation at Taal Volcano, Philippines

GPS measurements of ground deformation at Taal Volcano, Philippines began in 1996 and continue to present as a collaborative effort of Indiana University, UNAVCO, and the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS).  The purpose of this page is to provide updated information on the progress and results of our study.
 

                                            Campaign     (1996, 1998, 1999)
                                            Real-time kinematic and kinematic     (1996, 1998, 1999)
                                            Continuous dual-frequency network     (1998-present)
                                            Continuous single-frequency network     (1999-present)
                                            Seismicity    (from PHIVOLCS:  March 17, 1999-September 11, 2000)
