The most recent eruption at Okmok during July\u2013August 2008 was by far its largest and most explosive since at least the early 19th century. We investigate post-eruptive magma supply and storage at the volcano during 2008\u20132014 by analyzing all available synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of Okmok acquired during that time period using the multi-temporal InSAR technique. Data from the C-band Envisat and X-band TerraSAR-X satellites indicate that Okmok started inflating very soon after the end of 2008 eruption at a time-variable rate of 48\u2013130 mm\/y, consistent with GPS measurements. The \u201cmodel-assisted\u201d phase unwrapping method is applied to improve the phase unwrapping operation for long temporal baseline pairs. The InSAR time-series is used as input for deformation source modeling, which suggests magma accumulating at variable rates in a shallow storage zone at ~3.9 km below sea level beneath the summit caldera, consistent with previous studies. The modeled volume accumulation in the six years following the 2008 eruption is ~75% of the 1997 eruption volume and ~25% of the 2008 eruption volume.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs71215839","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,9]],"date-time":"2015-12-09T15:21:41Z","timestamp":1449674501000},"page":"16778-16794","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Post-Eruptive Inflation of Okmok Volcano, Alaska, from InSAR, 2008\u20132014"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8359-0207","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Feifei","family":"Qu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geology Engineering and Geomatics, Chang\u2019an University, No. 126 Yanta Road, Xi\u2019an 710054, China"},{"name":"Huffington Department of Earth Sciences, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX 75275, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9181-1818","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhong","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Huffington Department of Earth Sciences, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX 75275, USA"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Poland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"U.S. Geological Survey, Cascades Volcano Observatory, Vancouver, WA 98683, USA"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey","family":"Freymueller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, Fairbanks, AK 99775, USA"}]},{"given":"Qin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geology Engineering and Geomatics, Chang\u2019an University, No. 126 Yanta Road, Xi\u2019an 710054, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2335-8438","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hyung-Sup","family":"Jung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Deptment of Geoinformatics, The University of Seoul, Seoul 02504, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Lu, Z., and Dzurisin, D.
