Two months of pit movement compared

Comparing slant range deformation around the Palabora pit for two months. The first image covers 22 July to 15 August 2004, the second image covers 15 August to 8 September. Note a decrease in deformation in the second image. For legend see the image above. The results are based on InSAR results, overlaid on a Quickbird high-resolution optical image. The area enclosed in blue exhbits fast motion, the area enclosed in green exhibits slow motion.
