f Volcanic unrest in Kenya: a satellite perspective

The East African Rift (EAR) system is a 5,000 km long series offault bounded depressions that run from the Red Sea to Mozambique. The use of InSAR throughout the East African Rift has led to the discovery that a number of volcanoes, which haven't erupted in human history, are actively deforming. In Kenya, the EAR hosts 14 Quaternary volcanoes that lie along its central rift axis. An initiallnSAR study, covering the period 1997-2008, discovered that four volcanoes underwent geodetic activity during this time.
