SAR Data Analysis in Solid Earth Geophysics: From Science to Risk Management

The reasons were clear: before the InSAR era crustal deformation was measured using very time-consuming, ground based methods, as leveling, triangulation, trilateration; all requiring costly networks and measurement campaigns. The same was true for the GPS technique, appeared only few years before. SAR interferometry made things simpler and cheaper, although with some limitations; probably the ...

Global material cycles - Encyclopedia of Earth

The earth is a constant recipient of an enormous flux of solar radiation as well as considerable infall of the cosmic debris that also arrives periodically in huge, catastrophe-inducing encounters with other space bodies, particularly with massive comets and asteroids. Nothing else comes in, and the planet's relatively powerful gravity prevents anything substantial from leaving. Consequently, l...

CONTINUOUS FREE OSCILLATIONS: Atmosphere-Solid Earth Coupling

■ Abstract In 1997, after almost forty years since the initial attempt by Benioff et al (1959), continuous free oscillations of the Earth were discovered. Spheroidal fundamental modes between 2 and 7 millihertz are excited continuously with acceleration amplitudes of about 0.3–0.5 nanogals. The signal is now commonly found in virtually all data recorded by STS-1 type broadband seismometers at q...
