The repeat pass intervals of current radar satellite missions are long
Changing backscattering conditions lead to low coherence problematic in summit areas, near lava domes, and above lava flows
Monitoring of ground displacements difficult
DEM generation difficult!!!

Merapi – Indonesia
Julia Kubanek – Measuring topographic changes at active volcanoes 01.04.2015
Geological setting • Stratovolcano • One of the most active
volcanoes in Indonesia • ~2968 m a.s.l. • Dome-building volcano
2010 Eruption • Explosive eruption on 26 Oct. 2010
destroyed the 2006 lava dome • A phase of rapid dome growth followed • New dome was destroyed again on 4th-
5th Nov. • New dome was built on 6th Nov.

Conclusion
TanDEM-X enables to calculate topographic/volumetric changes due to volcanic activity Studies at different testsites proved that TanDEM-X enables to assess topographic changes on a 10 to 100 m level Good additional method to repeat-pass deformation analyses Great potential of TanDEM-X in volcano research
