Abstract

Mt Sinabung has been erupting and spewing fumes many times in the recent year after inactive for four centuries. This paper investigates the ground deformation due to the Mt Sinabung eruption in February 2018 using Differential Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar Technique (DInSAR). The deformation observed and extracted from Sentinel 1A satellite data in ascending orbit that provided by Europe Space Agency (ESA). The result shows eruption direction and depth vulcanic fumes in millimeters units. This study will improve our mitigating and understanding to predict future eruption effect. © 2019 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
