Hawaii Supersite (2) : Slow Slip Event at Kilauea • We are looking for a 0.5 fringe signal near the coast in this image • Atmospheric artifacts dominate the signal in each interferogram • Will use time series methods to extract the signature Interferograms courtesy PiyushAgram From Howard Zebker, Stanford University

Hispaniola Supersite USGS open file report • Septentrional fault: • GPS: ~10 mm/yr slip rate • Last earthquake about 1230 A.D. • (8 m displacement accumulated) • magnitude 7.5-8 overdue! • seismic hazard very high in • Dominican Republic! • pop. 10 million, 5 million tourists/yr • minimal seismic network (2 people)
Hispaniola Supersite Objective: estimate seismic hazard in Santiago, D. R. (2 million pop.) TerraSAR-X interferograms Expected signal 11 days 22 days ~5 mm/yr LOS velocity Coherence sufficient slip rate measurement possible with 2-3 years of data! Need acquisitions every 11-22 days !
