Erratum for “Foreword To Five Papers On Land Subsidence”

Foreword List of Included Papers

Convergence implies that previously unalike areas come together, approaching a common goal. A subordinate concept of convergence, i.e., media convergence, is a concept that has become common when denoting a range of processes within the production of media content, its distribution and consumption. The concept of media convergence has achieved buzzword status in many contexts due to its widespr...

Land Subsidence Monitoring with Differential SAR Interferometry

The potential of differential SAR interferometry for land subsidence monitoring is reported on. The principle of the technique and the approach to be used on a specific case are first presented. Then significant results using SAR data from the ERS satellites for various sites in Germany, Mexico, and Italy, representing fast (mlyear) to slow (mmlyear) deformation velocities, are discussed. The S...

Land Subsidence Measurement with Sar Interferometric Data

The paper focuses on the measurement of land subsidence and, more generally, of land deformation phenomena using the differential interferometric SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) technique (DInSAR). The paper begins with a concise description of the properties of the differential interferometric phase, which represents the information source for the estimation of the terrain deformation phenomena...

Insar and Polinsar for Land Subsidence Monitoring User Perspective

In this paper the selected interferometric studies of subsidence caused by underground mining are discussed. Despite the common limitations the traditional single-polarization InSAR technique is already proved its high potential in this application. Today, the determination of the areas of affected by terrain deformation risks becomes one of the most promising applications for operational use o...
