RADARSAT InSar Monitoring of an Active Rock Avalanche
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, we used RADARSAT interferometrically derived images to monitor current post slide motion at the Frank Slide, a 30x 10m rock avalanche, in the Canadian Rockies. The images cover the period from September 2000 to April 2004. Our results show that the Frank slide is still active and the deformation process is localized and related to seasonal and local weather conditions. This information is useful in assisting to locate in-situ field monitoring at specific locations, and to plan mitigation strategies. The combination of satellite differential InSAR techniques, covering large areas, and site-specific GPS monitors can produce an integrated monitoring system of active slopes.
