Description	2021 academic year update: Please see record "The Centre for the Observation and Modelling of Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Tectonics: National Capability Science Programme April 2019 - March 2021" 2020 academic year update: COMET continues to work closely with governments, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and other partners to deliver real-world impact, shape policy decisions and improve how we manage natural hazards. Over the last year, COMET made important contributions to real-time response to a series of four significant earthquakes in the island of Mindanao in the south of the Philippines. Following a peculiar and devastating series of magnitude 6+ earthquakes between 16-31 October 2019 (all within 20 kilometers of each other) and a magnitude 6.7 earthquake in 15 December 2019 in the same region, Sentinel-1 and ALOS-2 satellite radar data processing to produce ground deformation maps was initiated by COMET. Coordination with ESA allowed rapid satellite tasking, data analysis, and discussion with colleagues at the National Institute of Geological Sciences of the University of the Philippines (UP) and the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS). This collaboration was in aid of efforts to map the effects of the earthquakes and the search for usually elusive fault ground rupture. Remote sensing analysis by COMET was particularly helpful in targeting areas for detailed field investigation, especially as the surrounding volcanic terrain makes field work challenging. Preliminary findings were directly issued to and acted upon by the local government for disaster mitigation, and parallel scientific investigations by COMET and the Philippine colleagues are currently in the works. Many of the activities that maximise the impact and reach of COMET expertise stem from the continued building of soft and hard linkages by COMET with scientists and academics in the international community. The response to the Philippine earthquakes and data analysis, for example, was led by UP faculty members, COMET student, J.D. Dianala (Oxford), and Yu Morishita, GSI Japan scientist and COMET Visiting researcher (Leeds) from 2018-2020. 2019 academic year update: Much of our work continues to be focused in countries eligible for Overseas Development Assistance (ODA), with new initiatives including the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) Multi-Hazard Urban Disaster Risk Transitions Hub. This £20m initiative is using satellite data to assess seismic and volcanic hazard and vulnerability in cities at high risk. We are also continuing to develop closer links with the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) and Global Volcano Model (GVM) as well as the US Geological Survey (USGS) and their Powell Centre Working Group. We sit on the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) Working Group on Disasters (leading the Pilot and Demonstrator projects) and Deep Carbon Observatory, and make our data available via the European Plate Observing System (EPOS). Finally, we work with the space agencies, advising ESA on Sentinel-1's acquisition strategy and helping to develop new EO missions, including two of the three missions chosen to compete as ESA's 10th Earth Explorer: Stereoid and G-Class. 1. We continue to work with ESA to influence their acquisition policy for the new Sentinel-1 satellite, to ensure that they acquire data over all the tectonic and volcanic areas, for the benefit of all interested parties. This has included producing a density map of Sentinel-1 acquisitions prior to the launch of Sentinel-1B. This map also revealed where the ESA processor was affected by a possible rounding error in the slicing strategy which resulted in missing bursts between adjacent scenes. Although this issue was already known, information was passed to the Sentinel-1 Quality Control team to help identify which areas needed to be corrected. As larger areas are processed automatically, the coherence of the data can be examined and information fed back to ESA. We are also members of the advisory groups for two of the three missions chosen to compete as ESA's 10th Earth Explorer (STEREOID and G-Class), and we maintain a close relationship with the UK Space Agency and provide input on national and international consultations based on our research. 2. We have used the results from Sentinel-1 in several international responses including the Napa 2014 earthquake, Calbuco 2014 eruption, Pico do Fogo 2014 eruption, Gorkha (Nepal) 2015, Amatrice (Italy) 2016, and New Zealand 2016 events - further details are provided below. Our work following the Nepal 2015 earthquake has had significant societal impact. Immediately following the earthquake in Nepal it was clear from our analyses, and those of our overseas partners and collaborators, that the event had ruptured a smaller fault area than we had anticipated beforehand, and that considerable threat remained from the unruptured parts that could still fail in future large earthquakes. As a result we were in constant communication with DFID, GO-Science and SAGE advising them on the development of the international scientific understanding of the evolving situation. In this period we gave over 60 interviews to the international media. In May 2015, helped by decisive decisive action from Duncan Wingham (CEO NERC) and Chris Whitty (Science advisor at DFID), a joint NERC-DFID project was funded to respond to that remaining threat. The project was to monitor the regions south and west of Kathmandu that remain unruptured, and which are known to have failed in earlier large earthquakes, with GPS instruments and broad-band seismometers. Our early conclusion, that the earthquake's job was only half-done, has stood the test of time, and numerous publications have now confirmed that analysis. One possibility, and a reason for monitoring the situation, was that the unruptured parts of the fault could have slipped slowly and silently following the April mainshock, thereby relieving the stress without requiring a future earthquake. That has, unfortunately, not happened: the threatened regions remain locked, and will slip in a future earthquake, but we don't know when. This is a clear example of how, without the scientific insight and analysis, a proper assessment of the outstanding severe hazard would be impossible. We continue to monitor the situation, and brief DFID, GO-science and SAGE regularly. Because of the continuing threat, NERC and DFID agreed to allow this project to continue until end-September 2017, a year beyond its originally anticipated end. The project continues to be a great success, particularly in our high-profile interactions with the UK government, DFID and Nepal. At the moment the Nepalese have no experience of running or analysing the data from broad-band seismometers themselves. But this is about to change as we have succeeded in leveraging UNESCO support, as a result of the NERC-DFID grant, for a Nepalese postdoc, whom we will train to work on all aspects of the project from instrument installation and maintenance to data analysis. He started in January 2016. This will ensure an enduring legacy of the project for Nepal. Training of local scientists in this way is also a major goal of our NERC-ESRC Earthquakes Without Frontiers project. In 2016, COMET produced the first Sentinel-1 interferogram (12 day 20161103-20161115) covering the Mw 7.8 New Zealand earthquake (available to download for viewing as a kmz in GoogleEarth at http://homepages.see.leeds.ac.uk/~earjre/new_zealand/20161103-20161115.diff_sm_model.unw.geo.kmz). Work is also ongoing regarding the series of earthquakes that struck the Apennines region of Italy. COMET scientists are continuing to analyse the latest ground deformation and surface faulting between the towns of Amatrice, Norcia and Visso. The latest Sentinel-1 interferogram shows major ground subsidence and complex deformation patterns is also available to download (https://community.dur.ac.uk/richard.walters/figures/20161025-20161031.diff.unw.geo.kmz). We will keep a track of how these findings are used in the earthquake response and resilience-building exercises. 3.Through our partnership and collaboration with BGS, COMET provides expert advice to the UK and overseas governments and decision makers on earthquakes and eruptions. BGS can initiate the International Charter for Space and Major Disasters and has worked with COMET to provide emergency advice for the Scientific Advisory Group in Emergencies (SAGE) and Cabinet Office Briefing Room (COBR), for example for the 2015 Nepal earthquake and the 2018 eruption of Volcán de Fuego (Guatamala). BGS uses COMET outputs when providing weekly advice on volcanic hazards/impacts to DfID, GO Science and other UK Government departments. Similar multi-hazard weekly advice is also provided at a European level to the Emergency Response and Coordination Centre. COMET and BGS have long-standing relationships with partners in countries at risk from geohazards, many of which are on the DAC list of countries eligible for ODA assistance, where our long-term collaboration and support has been influential in setting national agendas and long-term plans for geohazards, for example in Iran, Kazakhstan and Ethiopia. COMET is also a member of the UK Alliance for Disaster Research. 4. COMET works closely with governments, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and other partners to deliver real-world impact, shape policy decisions and improve how we manage natural hazards. COMET is working with a number of international initiatives and organisations to ensure that our work has the highest possible societal impact. Some examples are set out below: COMET is a major partner in the Increasing Resilience to Natural Hazards program, which is co-funded by NERC and ESRC. We have worked in both the Earthquakes without Frontiers (EwF) and STrengthening Resilience in Volcanic Areas (STREVA) consortia, and through this work have built up a network of partners in countries at risk from volcanic and seismic hazard. This network, and the local relationships we have built up, has for example helped us target our response to the 2015 earthquake in Nepal and volcanic unrest at Chiles-Cerro Negro on the Ecuador/Colombia border. These relationships will continue to be developed as we enter new collaborations supported by the Global Challenges Research Fund, tackling issues around risk and resilience, such as the GCRF Multi-Hazard Urban Disaster Risk Transitions Hub. Elsewhere, the FutureVolc project, which includes COMET researchers, has developed a web portal for Icelandic volcanoes where operational users such as airlines and civil protection agencies can find the information they need for decision making. Results can be found at http://futurevolc.hi.is/sites/futurevolc.hi.is/files/Pdf/vedurstofan_futurevolc_baeklingur.pdf. This important work is now being taken forward by the EuroVolc initiative (https://eurovolc.eu/). We have been leading players in the development and implementation of the CEOS working group on disasters, helping to establish and implement both the Volcano and Seismic Risk pilot projects. Through these projects, the space agencies have committed to providing data that enable us, and other scientists around the world, to respond to volcanic and seismic disasters, and to prepare for them by assessing the hazard in certain key areas. This also ensures that we have access to key data sets when responding to events. Our InSAR results are also being linked to complementary data and made available via the European Plate Observing System (EPOS). We are also working closely with scientists in the Global Earthquake Model, in particular on developing methodologies for incorporating InSAR data in the global strain rate model, which currently only uses global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data. As part of the Global Volcano Model (GVM) we have meanwhile set up a Global Volcano Deformation Task Force to collate observations of volcano deformation. Furthermore, the response to the Nepal earthquake has opened up a dialogue with the US Geological Survey (USGS) over the use of InSAR in their rapid response source models and "shakemap" predictions of strong ground motions.

Description	Can satellites be used as an early warning system for landslides?
Geographic Reach	Asia
Policy Influence Type	Implementation circular/rapid advice/letter to e.g. Ministry of Health
Impact	At about 5:38am local time on 24 June 2017 (21:38 on 23 June 2017 UTC), a massive landslide struck Xinmo Village, Maoxian County, Sichuan Province in China. The Maoxian landslide swept 64 homes in Xinmo village, blocking a 2km section of river and burying 1,600 meters of road. Three days later (on 27 June 2017), a second landslide hit Xinmo Village; almost in the same time, another landslide occurred in Shidaguan Town, 20km away from Xinmo Village. The team from Newcastle University (UK), Chengdu University of Technology (CUT), Tongji University, China Academy of Space Technology and Wuhan University (China) raced against time to respond these two events by combining ESA's Sentinel-1, Chinese Gaofen-2/3 with field observations. Our study convincingly demonstrated that InSAR can be used to detect and map active landslides over a wide region, identifying the source of the landslide and also its boundaries. Going forward, we can use this information to set up real-time monitoring systems -- such as GPS, Beidou and Galileo -- for those sites and whenever we detect abnormal behaviour, the system can send out an early warning message. Through our collaborator from CUT, our landslide early warning system concept was demonstrated to senior officers of Sichuan Provincial government within days after the Maoxian landslides. In the end of July 2017, the provincial government decided to carry out satellite radar project to identify potential landslides in Sichuan Province.

Description	Involcan - Tenerife International Training Course on Volcano Monitoring
Geographic Reach	Europe
Policy Influence Type	Influenced training of practitioners or researchers
Impact	•Pablo J. González, The University of Liverpool, United Kingdom - The increase in world population, particularly in urban areas close to active volcanoes, is constantly raising the level of volcanic risk worldwide. Volcano Monitoring is one of the key tools for mitigating this risk, alongside an estimation of volcanic hazards. The aim of this course is to introduce students to the subject of Volcano Monitoring "hands on" by alternating lectures with practical laboratory and field activities. Lessons will be given by researchers with an international scientific background and first-hand experience of Volcano Monitoring. Monitoring volcanoes is a highly multidisciplinary field. The course topics will cover Seismology (basic theory and analysis of seismo-volcanic events), Geodesy (measurement and modelling of ground deformation), Geochemistry (collection, analysis and interpretation of fluid samples) as well as other topics (thermal imagery, volcano infrasound, methods for eruption forecasting). Field activities include visits to the monitoring networks managed by INVOLCAN, as well as practical demonstrations of geochemical measurements on the field. Furthermore, there will be two field trips to Teide volcano, Las Cañadas caldera and outcrops of volcanic events all around the island. The prerequisites for attending this course are basic skills in Earth Sciences, as well as a basic knowledge of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.

Title	Developing an automated InSAR system for tectonic and volcanic regions using data from Sentinel-1
Description	EU Copernicus Sentinel-1 InSAR products are now available for download from the COMET-LiCS Sentinel-1 InSAR portal. Interferograms and coherence maps have been produced automatically using the LiCSAR processor, which builds on the Gamma SAR and Interferometry software. Interferograms have been processed in overlapping "frames" defined within COMET-LiCS. Products are represented on this map by shapes that match these frames. The colour of each frame represents how many interferograms are available for that frame. Selecting a frame on the map allows you to obtain details about the frame ID and how many files exist, and to link to the downloadable data products. The map available on the LiCSAR portal represents the data that has been processed within COMET-LiCS using the JASMIN-CEMS processing and storage facility at CEDA. New interferograms should be available within 2 weeks of acquisition. We have also expanded our initial focus from the Alpine-Himalayan tectonic belt and are processing the complete archive for tectonic and volcanic areas globally.
Type Of Material	Improvements to research infrastructure
Year Produced	2016
Provided To Others?	Yes
Impact	LiCSAR's high-resolution deformation data for the entire Alpine-Himalayan seismic belt, where most of the planet's deadly earthquakes occur, is being expanded to provide near-global coverage which will be critical in helping the scientific community and people on the ground to understand and manage geohazards.

Title	COMET Volcano Deformation Database
Description	LiCSAR-volcano - a system for automatic operating of ground deformation signals on Holocene active volcanoes - is now operational, enabling us to monitor ground deformation on 929 volcanoes. Since November 2017, 32,681 interferograms have been processed on different volcanic regions, and we are currently using Machine Learning techniques to detect ground deformation signals automatically. We have been working to develop the automatic processing of Sentinel-1 SAR data to deliver InSAR products for the all Holocene land-volcanoes (~1300). The raw data are processed through the LiCSAR system and available through the web portal24. At the time of writing, more than 900 volcanoes located on six different continents are covered and our database is composed of 32,681 interferograms.
Type Of Material	Database/Collection of data
Year Produced	2015
Provided To Others?	Yes
Impact	The database, and in particular the quick-look interferograms, have been used by volcano observatory staff across Latin America to rapidly evaluate the presence or lack of measured deformation from space.

Title	Coseismic inteferogram of Kaikoura, New Zealand earthquake
Description	When a major magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck the north-eastern half of the South Island of New Zealand on 14th November 2016, the existence of two Sentinel-1 spacecraft in the constellation meant that COMET could generate a coseismic interferogram within two days of the event. We provided the interferogram to local partners in New Zealand, and to the wider community via twitter, around 5.5 hours after the satellite overpass.
Type Of Material	Database/Collection of data
Year Produced	2016
Provided To Others?	Yes
Impact	Calculation of ground offset displacements in a relatively rapid timeframe revealed the dramatic breadth and number of fault segments involved in this complex rupture. By providing these timely data to GNS, New Zealand's research institute focusing on geology, geophysics and nuclear science, COMET was able to assist with decision making concerning deployment of field instruments and targeting of field observations, as well as input to the early fault slip models that led to one of the first publications on this event.

Title	East Helashan Fault, northern China
Description	This dataset contains a 100 km long section of the East Helanshan Fault on the western side of the Yinchuan Graben in northern China. This fault was the site of the devastating 1739 Yinchuan earthquake. Surface fault scarps are visible in the point cloud for much of the fault length. The point cloud data were constructed via photogrammetric methods from data acquired by Airbus Defence and Space (Pleiades 1A) and funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), UK. For further details see: Middleton, T. A., R. T. Walker, B. Parsons, Q. Lei, Y. Zhou, and Z. Ren (2016), A major, intraplate, normal-faulting earthquake: The 1739 Yinchuan event in northern China, J.

Title	El Mayor-Cucapah earthquake, Mexico
Description	Point cloud data (in 2 sections) from 2 tri-stereo data sets of 0.5 m resolution, panchromatic Pleiades 1B images acquired by Airbus on 17 March 2014 and funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), UK through the Looking inside the Continents from Space (LiCS) large grant (NE/K011006/1). The images were processed using the LPS module of the ERDAS Imagine 2013 software (version 13.00.00, Build 281). A pixel-by-pixel matching procedure was implemented with a window size of 5-by-5 pixels and a correlation coefficient of 0.3 to 0.7. The point cloud covers an approximately 45 km long section of the epicentral area of the 2010 El Mayor-Cucapah earthquake in Mexico. Vertical displacements were determined by differencing the Pleiades topography and the pre-earthquake LiDAR DEM. For further details see: Zhou, Y., B. Parsons, J. R. Elliott, I. Barisin, and R. T.

Title	Filter pack and cascade impactor samples of gas and aerosol particulate matter on the Island of Hawai'i (2018, 2019)
Description	This dataset reports chemical speciation of airborne gas and aerosol particulate matter (PM) sampled in various locations on the Island of Hawai'i in 2018 and 2019. The 2018 samples were collected during a large eruption of Kilauea volcano. The 2019 samples were collected during a period of very low volcanic activity. Samples were collected in several locations on the Island of Hawai'i, Hawaii, USA. Time-series samples were collected at -Leilani Estates -Volcano village -Pahala, Ocean View -Kailua-Kona -Mauna Loa Observatory in 2018 and 2019. Point-source samples were collected at the following locations -The main erupting vent 'Fissure 8' on the Kilauea Volcano in 2018, and repeated in its vicinity post-eruption in 2019 - The lava ocean entry point in 2018 and repeated in its vicinity post-eruption in 2019. The samples were collected using filter packs (FP) and Sioutas cascade impactors (SKC). The instruments were used at ground-level in all cases except for samples FP_08_1, FP_ 09_1, FP_09_2, SKC_08 and SKC_09 which were attached to an Unoccupied Aircraft System (UAS) in order to safely access the erupting vent and the lava ocean entry. The samples were then analysed using inductively-coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS), inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and ion chromatography (IC). Sample analysis was done at the University of Leeds, United Kingdom (2018 samples) and the University of Leeds and Open University, United Kingdom (2019 samples). The results are reported as concentration per volume of air sampled (µg/m^3) to 2 significant figures. This was done to - assess the dispersion of major and trace elements in a volcanic plume, and quantify their depletion rates from the source into the far-field (up to ~240 km downwind) - assess the impact of volcanic emissions on the composition of the local atmosphere. The data were produced as a result of a collaborative project between the Universities of Leeds, Cambridge, Oxford (UK), Hawaiian Volcano Observatory of the United States Geological Survey, and the University of Hawai'i at Manoa (USA).

Title	IASI Near Real Time Data Website
Description	We have developed unique 3D retrievals for SO2 distributions in the atmosphere from the IASI instrument on the Metop satellites. We have also developed retrievals for volcanic ash that enable us to estimate ash thickness, the effective particle radius, and the height of the plume top - key parameters when considering aviation hazard. We are making the results available in real time to end users via a web portal (27,000 hits in past 12 months). A new IASI ash dataset including a parameterization for the thermal infrared spectral region and a new ash altitude scheme will be submitted to the WMO SCOPE-Nowcasting Inter-comparison of Satellite-derived Volcanic Ash Products (2018) to assess the volcanic ash product generated from satellite measurements.

Impact	A number of large volcanic eruptions have now been monitored via the website, including Calbuco, Chile (April 2015), Wolf Island, Galapagos (May 2015), and Popocatepetl, Mexico (January 2016). The service was also for example used to track the plume arising from the 2 December 2015 eruption at Mount Etna, showing that by 4 December the plume had reached an area between Crete and Iraq, containing 0.06 Tg (1012g) SO2. The website is used by the London Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre's (VAAC), and also has benefit of providing timely results to wider number of VAACs, other stakeholders (including scientists) and general public. IASI SO2 retrievals have also shown some promise at monitoring low level volcanic emissions. A 'fast' linear retrieval has been applied across the globe to detect sources of SO2 and found that results are dominated by emissions from explosive eruptions, but signals are also evident from smaller eruptions and passive degassing, and from anthropogenic activity. Elevated levels of SO2 were frequently identified at volcanoes in Ecuador and Kamchatka, Russia, and so these areas were selected for further study with a 'full' iterative retrieval which is capable of quantifying the amount of gas emitted. In both regions, the iterative retrieval captured changing activity which matched reports from the Global Volcanism Program. These results demonstrate for the first time that IASI can be used to monitor smaller emissions of volcanic SO2 into the troposphere.

Title	Topography for the 2013 Balochistan earthquake, Pakistan
Description	This point cloud datatset covers a 5 km wide swath along an approximately 240 km long section of the 2013 Balochistan earthquake rupture in Pakistan. Point cloud data produced from 13 stereo data sets of 0.5 m resolution, panchromatic Pleiades images acquired by Airbus (funded by NERC, UK). The images were processed using the LPS module of the ERDAS Imagine 2013 software (version 13.00.00, Build 281). A pixel-by-pixel matching procedure was implemented with a window size of 5-by-5 pixels and a correlation coefficient of 0.3 to 0.7. For further details see: Zhou, Y., J. R. Elliott, B. Parsons, and R. T. Walker (2015), The 2013 Balochistan earthquake: An extraordinary or completely ordinary event?, Geophysical Research Letters, 43(7), 3134-3142, doi:10.1002/2015GL065096

Description	Global Volcano Model
Organisation	Global Volcano Model
Country	United Kingdom
Sector	Public
PI Contribution	As part of the Global Volcano Model (GVM) we have set up a Global Volcano Deformation Task Force to collate observations of volcano deformation. Led by COMET scientist Juliet Biggs, alongside Professor Matt Pritchard of Cornell University, this brings together researchers studying volcano deformation worldwide, along with organizations that compile information on global volcanic activity. The Task Force is leading a two year project to compare global volcano deformation measurements with satellite thermal and gas observations, and make these data more available to volcano observatories. All of this will hopefully promote the use of InSAR and volcano deformation research in hazard assessment.
Collaborator Contribution	The GVM project will develop an integrated global database system on volcanic hazards, vulnerability and exposure, make this globally accessible and crucially involve the international volcanological community and users in a partnership to design, develop, analyse and maintain the database system. The GVM project will aim to establish new international metadata standards that will reduce ambiguity in the use of global volcanic datasets. Vulnerability and exposure data will be integrated into the GVM and again new methods of assessment and analysis will be investigated and tested.
Impact	Better linkages between InSAR and other remote sensing observations to volcano observatories.

Modern geophysical research is revealing increasingly complex and spatially variable fault zone behaviours. The properties and deformation of the ductile crust and mantle are controversial, as is their influence on the overlying faults. Current models indicate a close coupling between metamorphism, rheology and deformation, but remain poorly constrained by geological observations. The meeting will unite international experts in geodesy, seismology, metamorphism and rheology to characterise and understand the geological controls on fault behaviour, guiding future studies and advancing our understanding of earthquake hazard

Results and Impact	Following violent and highly visible eruptions of two prominent volcanoes in our field research area (Villarrica, in March; Calbuco, in April), I wrote several short blog posts to place the eruptions in context, to make available some accessible background information about the volcanoes (much of it based on our own published work), and to point readers in the appropriate directions for formal updates from the responsible agencies. The posts gained high visibility (with over 5000 visitors to the site in March and April, 2015), and led to requests for interviews from international media including: AlJazeera (TV), France24 (TV), Radio Cooperativa (Chile) and Daily Mail online. The blog posts were widely read, and shared across the world. A short update on 'the Calbuco eruption in numbers' had over 1000 views in the first 24 hours of release.

Results and Impact	We held a stakeholder workshop in Bristol in November 2019 to discuss the findings of this project with InSAR providers and users, academic representatives, industry representatives, and other interested parties The main goal of this meeting was to explore how existing satellite networks (i.e. InSAR) could be used to address environmental challenges posed by ground motion in the UK due to range of sources. Participants of this stakeholder meeting included members of the project from the University of Leeds and University of Bristol, as well as representatives of companies from the UK and Europe delivering InSAR related products. The deliverables of this stakeholder engagement was to determine the needs/wish list of a range of industries to understand whether a resource is required and what type of data/tools are needed. We had two lightning talks to discuss the sources of deformations in the UK, assessment of InSAR capability and our strategy/needs to develop a fair and robust methodology for assessment of different InSAR processing chains. We also presented three posters based on our results up to that stage. We were also involved in some discussion groups with relevant topics to our research e.g. What is the requirement of the stakeholders and current capabilities? how InSAR providers demonstrate the reliability of their data? What might a UK deformation service look like? The discussions with the stakeholders helped to provide input into the research that prioritised for the demonstrator phase.

Results and Impact	Dr Juliet Biggs - Watching the world's volcanoes 800 million people around the world live on or next to a volcano - many of whom rely on warnings to keep them safe from eruptions. But how can we tell if a volcano might erupt? And with over 1,500 volcanoes on land, how can we monitor them all? Juliet Biggs introduces a ground-breaking initiative developed by a multi-institution team at the Centre for Observation and Modelling of Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Tectonics (COMET), which will transform the way we monitor and respond to volcanic risk around the world.

Results and Impact	A UK-led team of scientists is rolling out a project to monitor every land volcano on Earth from space. Two satellites will routinely map the planet's surface, looking for signs that might hint at a future eruption. They will watch for changes in the shape of the ground below them, enabling scientists to issue an early alert if a volcano appears restless. Some 1,500 volcanoes worldwide are thought to be potentially active, but only a few dozen are heavily monitored.

Results and Impact	We employed Small Baseline InSAR technique to process ENVISAT ASAR and TerraSAR-X stripmap images collected from 2003 to 2011 and observed a maximum subsidence in the eastern part of Beijing with a rate greater than 100 mm/year; We also found some relationships between land subsidence and different conditioning and triggering factors (e.g., groundwater levels, soft soil thickness and active faults). This research finding has attracted attention of a wide range of prestigious international media (e.g., The Guardian, The Telegraph, Huffington Post, Forbes, BBC and Xinhua News), and is ranked in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric, a system that tracks the online attention for a specific piece of research (See: https://mdpi.altmetric.com/details/8441790#score). This contribution is also selected as TOP 10 published articles in 2016 by MDPI (http://blog.mdpi.com/2017/02/20/mdpi-altmetrics-top-10-published-articles-in-2016). Based on the research finding and an interview with Prof Zhenhong Li, Xinhua News Agency produced an internal report on land subsidence hazards in China for Central Chinese Government

Results and Impact	To help celebrate NERC's 50th anniversary over the '2015 Summer of Science', the London Volcano model that had been created for the NERC/ESRC 'STREVA' project went on tour. This model volcano was the focus of activities and events for 14 days across 4 different physical locations. Activities were run by a team of 25 volunteers, across all career stages, with a great turnout from COMET researchers, and with much support from education and outreach teams of the British Geological Survey, the Diamond Light Source, and the Oxford University Museum of Natural History (OUMNH). Wider audiences were engaged through Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and the LondonVolcano blog. Highlights included the Diamond Light Source Open Day, where 4000 people came past the exhibit, on the 'synchrotron' tour; the Greenman Festival in Wales, where we ran four days of painting and hands-on activities for children; and the Oxford Museum of Natural History, where the volcano took up a residency on the lawn for two weeks (and have 2500 visitors), and concluded with an explosive 'finale'.
