  abstract = {{C}otopaxi volcano started a period of volcanic unrest in {A}pril 2015 that led to a series of eruptions between {A}ugust and {N}ovember 2015. {W}e use {COSMO}-{S}ky{M}ed {I}nterferometric {S}ynthetic {A}perture {R}adar supported by continuous {GPS} observations spanning the period of 2014-2016 to obtain time-dependent ground deformation data over {C}otopaxi volcano related to the period of unrest and onset of eruptions. {W}e find evidence of precursory deformation, with a maximum uplift on the western flank of 3.4 cm from {A}pril to {A}ugust 2015. {D}eformation is explained by an inclined sheet intrusion located a few km southwest of the summit with an opening volume of 6.8 x 10(6)m(3), extending from a depth of 12.1 km and shallowing to 5.5 km below the summit, that contributed to internal edifice growth. {T}he temporal coincidence of deformation prior to the eruptions potentially suggests that short-term eruptions at {C}otopaxi are partly controlled by episodic edifice growth.},
