Land Subsidence Monitoring with Differential SAR Interferometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 SAR interferometric dis~lacement maps are'validated with available leveling data. he accuracy of the subsidence maps produced, the huge SAR data archive starting in 1991, the expected continued availability of SAR data, and the maturity of the required processing techniques lead to the conclusion that differential SAR interferometry is suitable for operational monitoring of land subsidence.

متن کاملMine Subsidence Monitoring by JERS-1 SAR Interferometry
Differential SAR Interferometry (D-InSAR) is an effective tool in monitoring land subsidence because of its greater coverage area and better resolution of height change. A series of Japanese Earth Resources Satallite-1 (JERS-1) images from 1992 to 1998 has been used in monitoring the mine subsidence in the test site of this study, one of the important coal mining areas in China. D-InSAR procedu...

متن کاملDetection of Urban Land Subsidence in the City of Turku in Finland Using Differential Sar Interferometry
The centre of the Turku city by the river of Aurajoki in Finland has been built on clay and silt soil. The level of the ground water has been constantly lowering during the last few centuries due to the postglacial land uplift and extensive water usage leaving the old wooden pilework exposed to decaying. The decaying has led to the subsidence of some historical buildings in the old centre of Tu...
