In a previous post, we (EarthDaily Analytics / Descartes Labs) demonstrated the use of the "Quicklook analysis" tool in "Iris" for quickly generating InSAR time-series over small AOIs of interest. Here, we present few examples of quicklook results to demonstrate the power of this tool to generate quick insights in 15-30 minutes.

A reminder that the usual caveats apply to the interpretation of these results.

Cumbre Vieja Eruption, Canary Islands (Spain)¤

More information on the eruption event can be found here.

Mount Nyiragongo Eruption near Goma (DR Congo)¤

More information on the eruption event can be found here.

Funu landslide in Bukavu (DR Congo)¤

More information on the landslide can be found here.

Mt Fentale Eruption (Ethiopia)¤

More information on the volcano can be found here. We note here that while our GDS analysis would provider better spatial coverage over this AOI and even with the sparse coverage, Quicklook analysis, is able to capture the increased activity at the end of 2024.
