Interferometry allows relatively small changes in heights of the land area to be interpreted, thus showing if the land has risen or fallen showing possible build up of magma or expansion of the underground rock due to heating.

Later, a 1993 Decade Volcano conference in the city of Pasto, Colombia ended in disaster when several attending scientists mounted an impromptu expedition to the crater of Galeras. An unexpected eruption while they were at the summit killed six scientists and three tourists.”” Signed Colman>)
