2 I Introduction Réunion island, geological context La Réunion, a volcanic island Topography of the Piton de la Fournaise A very active volcano : 29 eruptions since

3 I Introduction InSAR database ( For the April 27 eruption and post eruptive period: 35 ASAR interferograms in various ascending and descending swaths (ESA AO-ENVISAT 746) 25 ascending PALSAR interferograms (ESA JAXA A-ADEN 3622)

4 I Introduction April 27 eruption 3 2 April March : new : small dyke dyke intrusion intrusion and and high 6 April 1 May : Dolomieu lava : end flow of the crater eruption collapse Photo OVPF The Dolomieu The Lava Dolomieu before flow, the april collapse 6 27
