Overview

  • The Valles Caldera is a ~1.2 Mya resurgence volcano in Northern New Mexico
  • There is a shallow magma body that has been imaged by seismic data (Ankeny et al., 1986; Roberts et al., 1991; Wilgus et al., 2023)
  • We use InSAR and GNSS to observe vertical deformation in the Valles Caldera to determine if the magma body contributes significant deformation
