Magmatic and gravity-driven deformation dynamics at Popocatépetl inferred from InSAR and GPS data

Key Points

• Deformation dynamics show significant variations linked to magmatic processes and gravity influences.
• Key evidence includes InSAR measurements indicating a 5 cm displacement over a 12-month period.
• Analysis utilized InSAR and GPS data to map deformation patterns in real time across the active volcano.
• Understanding these dynamics may improve volcanic eruption forecasts, highlighting the need for continuous monitoring.
