The southwest mountainous area of China is one the areas with most landslides in world. In this paper, we used Ya’an City and Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture Sichuan Province as research to explore identification application effects large-area potential using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data different wavelength types (Sentinel-1, ALOS-2), processing methods (SBAS-InSAR, Stacking-InSAR),...

The Santa Catarina Southern Plateau is located in Brazil and a region that has gained considerable attention due to the rapid conversion of typical landscape natural grasslands wetlands into agriculture, reforestation, pasture, more recently, wind farms. This study’s main goal was characterize polarimetric attributes experimental quad-polarization acquisition mode Advanced Land Observing Satell...

Glaciers are sensitive indicators of climate fluctuations. The effects of climate warming are for instance evident in the continuous retreat of glaciers. In the paper, the movement of the Dongkemadi Glacier in the Qinhai-Tibetan Plateau and the Keqicar Baxi glacier motion in the Tianshan Mountains of western China are measured using two-pass differential synthetic aperture radar interferometry ...

Abstract: Lineaments are mapable linear surface features, which presumably reflect subsurface phenomena. The study demonstrates the use of ALOS imagery for lineament mapping for geological application. The image was enhanced and used for lineaments extraction through on-screen digitising. The extracted lineaments were evaluated against the published geological map for the study area using GIS o...

Microwave remote sensing has shown proof of its effectiveness for frozen ground mapping due to the high difference of permittivity between frozen and unfrozen soil. However, the characterization of seasonal frozen ground still remains a problematic application. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) launched the Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) on the 24 of January 2006. This sat...
