Abstract
Within this thesis I use sub-optimal InSAR data to investigate long-term subsidence of volcanoes in the southern Cascades. I approach this problem from two perspectives: firstly in improving the application of InSAR data in the Cascades Volcanic Arc using multi temporal analysis and large-scale atmospheric models; and secondly, in developing a modelling approach to interpret long-term volcanic subsidence related to cooling magmatic intrusions. In this summary, I review the outcomes of each thesis chapter, identifying the main findings and highlighting where further advances could be made. I then finish by discussing the future role of InSAR as a tool in volcanology.
