Monitoring Tianjin Subsidence with the Permanent Scatterers Technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many urban areas in China are affected by land subsidence. The Permanent Scatterers (PS) technique [1], [2] is a powerful tool for monitoring terrain motions by means of space-born radar data on a large number of coherent targets. Core idea of the PS technique is the exploitation of a high density of measure points (usually but not necessarily corresponding to man-made objects) in order to estimate and remove atmospheric artifacts that normally prevent a correct displacement analysis. Aim of this paper is the description of the results obtained by means of the PS technique over the area around Tianjin city in the Popular Republic of China, where a subsidence at the present time is active. Furthermore, the dispersion of acquisition parameters like normal baseline and Doppler centroid (DC) frequency has been used for characterizing the physical nature of PS’s, thus providing the first basis for the identification of targets visible by different satellites [4], [5], [6].

A Comparison of Sbas and Ps Ers Insar for Subsidence Monitoring in Oslo, Norway
In this paper, we present the results achieved in the long-term subsidence project in Norway, ESA AO-1104, which have made use of ERS SAR data. By applying the differential SAR interferometry technique referred to as Small Baseline Subset (SBAS) approach to a test area covering the city of Oslo, Norway, we show significant subsidence in several areas of more than 5 mm/year in the time period 19...
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...
متن کاملMonitoring a Large and Complex Land Subsidence in Coal Mining Areas with a Small-baseline Interferogram Stacking Technique
China is the world’s largest coal-producing country and mining-related land subsidence happens almost in every coal mining area. In north-west China, land subsidence in coal mining areas is mainly caused by underground mining activities and uncontrolled burnings of subsurface coal seam. As Hoffmann (2004) reported, burning coal-seams can result in extensive subsidence of several meters and typi...

We present in this contribution the results of the first experiment to monitor land subsidence along JingJin High Speed Railway (JingJin HSR), which connects Beijing city and Tianjin city and is the first high speed railway in China, by using the Permanent Scatterer InSAR (PSI). Since the length of the railway is usually beyond the standard scenes coverage of the ongoing radar satellite, i.e. E...

The Permanent Scatterers (PS) technique is a powerful operational tool that exploits long series of SAR data for monitoring ground deformations with millimetre accuracy on a high spatial density grid of point-wise targets. The technique has been applied successfully to a number of applications from subsidence and volcano monitoring to slow-landslide detection. Aim of this work is to analyse the...
