Sensing the Land Subsidence in the Venice Lagoon by Interferometric Point Target Analysis
Land subsidence is a severe geologic hazard threading the lowlying coastal areas worldwide. Monitoring land subsidence has been significantly improved over the last few years by space borne earth observation techniques based on SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) Interferometry. Within the INLET Project, funded by Magistrato alle Acque di Venezia – Venice Water Authority (VWA) and Consorzio Venezia ...
متن کاملNatural versus anthropogenic subsidence of Venice
We detected land displacements of Venice by Persistent Scatterer Interferometry using ERS and ENVISAT C-band and TerraSAR-X and COSMO-SkyMed X-band acquisitions over the periods 1992-2010 and 2008-2011, respectively. By reason of the larger observation period, the C-band sensors was used to quantify the long-term movements, i.e. the subsidence component primarily ascribed to natural processes. ...
متن کاملRecent subsidence of the Venice Lagoon from continuous GPS and interferometric synthetic aperture radar
[1] Coastal regions are increasingly affected by larger storms and rising sea level predicted by global warming models, aggravating the situation in the city of Venice where tidal-induced seasonal flooding coupled with natural and anthropogenic subsidence have been perennial problems. In light of accelerated efforts to protect Venice from the rise in sea level we assess land subsidence in the V...
متن کاملErs and Envisat Sar Interferometry to Measure Land Subsidence in the Venice Lagoon on Natural and Artificial Point Targets
The Venice Lagoon, Italy, is a unique worldwide environment which is presently vulnerable due to loss in surface elevation as a result of land subsidence referred to the mean sea level. Land displacements in the Venice coastland have been determined over time by traditional monitoring techniques (i.e., spirit leveling and GPS). Recently, SAR-based analyses have been used to complement the groun...
متن کاملImaging Land Subsidence Induced by Groundwater Extraction in Beijing (China) Using Satellite Radar Interferometry
Beijing is one of the most water-stressed cities in the world. Due to over-exploitation of groundwater, the Beijing region has been suffering from land subsidence since 1935. In this study, the Small Baseline InSAR technique has been employed to process Envisat ASAR images acquired between 2003 and 2010 and TerraSAR-X stripmap images collected from 2010 to 2011 to investigate land subsidence in...
