August 7, 2024—InSAR image of Kīlauea ground deformation

This map shows recent deformation at Kīlauea, over the timeframe of July 26-August 7, 2024. Data were acquired by the European Space Agency's Sentinel-1A satellite. Colored fringes denote areas of ground deformation, with more fringes indicating more deformation.  Each color cycle represents 2.8 cm (1.1 in) of ground motion. The round feature east of Makaopuhi Crater on the East Rift Zone indicates inflation over this time period due to magma accumulation underground. Arrow in the upper left indicates satellite orbit direction (arrow) and look direction (bar).
