    Abstract:
    Abstract On January 12, 2020, Taal volcano, Philippines, erupted after 43 years of repose, affecting more than 500,000 people. Using interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data, we present the pre‐ to post‐eruption analyses of the deformation of Taal. We find that: (1) prior to eruption, the volcano experienced long‐term deflation followed by short‐term inflation, reflecting the depressurization‐pressurization of its ∼5 km depth magma reservoir; (2) during the eruption, the magma reservoir lost a volume of 0.531 ± 0.004 km 3 while a 0.643 ± 0.001 km 3 lateral dike was emplaced; and (3) post‐eruption analyses reveal that the magma reservoir started recovery approximately 3 weeks after the main eruptive phase. We propose a conceptual analysis explaining the eruption and address why, despite the large volume of magma emplaced, the dike remained at depth. We also report the unique and significant contribution of InSAR data during the peak of the crisis.

    By research with field investigation and observation records of volcanic eruption,combining with the achievement in volcanic research home and abroad,the authors discuss the volcanic eruption features of Laoheishan and Huoshaoshan in Wudalianchi of Heilongjiang,China in volcanic genetic type,eruption mode,eruption symptom and other aspects,and point out that the Laoheishan and Huoshaoshan volcanoes are monogenetic in genetic type,the eruption mode is not a simple way of central eruption,but experienced fission eruption turn to central eruption.Through the analysis of volcanic eruption observational record and the comparison with foreign volcanoes,it is revealed that this volcanic eruption possesses precursor which features benefit the monitor and forecast future volcanic eruption.
