[1] Radar interferometry (InSAR), field measurements and creepmeters reveal surface slip on multiple faults in the Imperial Valley triggered by the main shock of the 4 April 2010 El Mayor‐Cucapah Mw 7.2 earthquake. Co‐seismic offsets occurred on the San Andreas, Superstition Hills, Imperial, Elmore Ranch, Wienert, Coyote Creek, Elsinore, Yuha, and several minor faults near the town of Ocotillo ...

The Mw 7.9, Denali fault earthquake (DFE) is the largest continental strike-slip earthquake to occur since the development of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR). We use five interferograms, constructed using radar images from the Canadian Radarsat-1 satellite, to map the surface deformation at the western end of the fault rupture. Additional geodetic data are provided by displacem...

In Very High Resolution (VHR) Synthesis Aperture Radar (SAR) context, very fine and accurate georeferencing and geoprojection processes are required. Both operations are only applicable if accurate local heights are known. 3D information may be derived from SAR interferometry (InSAR), But in VHR context, InSAR reveals to be inaccurate mostly due to phase unwrapping problems and to phase/height ...

Multi-temporal sets of ERS-1/2 SAR interferometric (InSAR) phase have been evaluated at several test sites in Europe for tree height estimation. Atmospheric artefacts affected a large number of image pairs. These were generally well compensated in case of large-scale artefacts over small forests, whereas for large forests their effect could only be assessed. Hence, the amount of pairs utilizabl...

We investigate multichannel imaging radar systems employing coherent combinations of polarimetry and interferometry (PolInSAR). Such systems are well suited for the extraction of bioand geophysical parameters by evaluating the combined scattering from surfaces and volumes. This combination leads to several important differences between the design of Pol-InSAR sensors and conventional single pol...

Sentinel-1 IWS acquisitions can be used for SAR interferometry. In our contribution the focus is on the S1 IWS InSAR coherence. For this we address in a first part the interferogram generation and coherence estimation. Then in a second part we use data examples to get a first impression on the potential of the S1 IWS InSAR coherence for landuse classification and to monitor temporal change

An L band geosynchronous synthetic aperture radar (GEO SAR) differential interferometry system (D-InSAR) will be obviously impacted by the background ionosphere, which will give rise to relative image shifts and decorrelations of the SAR interferometry (InSAR) pair, and induce the interferometric phase screen errors in interferograms. However, the background ionosphere varies within the long in...

Transition zones in railway tracks are locations with considerable changes in the rail-supporting structure. Typically, they are located near engineering structures, such as bridges, culverts and tunnels. In such locations, severe differential settlements often occur due to the different material properties and structure behavior. Without timely maintenance, the differential settlement may lead...

The combined effect of climate change and accelerated economic development in Northern regions increases the threat of permafrost related surface deformation to buildings and transportation infrastructure. Satellite based InSAR provides a means for monitoring infrastructure that may be both remote and spatially extensive. However, permafrost poses challenges for InSAR monitoring due to the comp...

This work concerns a proposal of the integration of InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) data acquired by ground-based (GB) and satellite platforms. The selected test site is the Åknes rockslide, which affects the western Norwegian coast. The availability of GB-InSAR and satellite InSAR data and the accessibility of a wide literature make the landslide suitable for testing the propo...
