Shanghai is a modern metropolis characterized by high urban density and anthropogenic ground motions. Although traditional deformation monitoring methods, such as GPS and spirit leveling, are reliable to millimeter accuracy, the sparse point subsidence information makes understanding large areas difficult. Multiple temporal space-borne synthetic aperture radar interferometry is a powerful high-...

Emission of the CO2 from the Indonesian forest is mainly composed of the deforestation, forest degradation, and the peat land subsidence. Peat land subsidence of Indonesian islands represented by the Central Kalimantan is induced by the global warming and the resultant chemical processes at the peat land emit the CO2 to the air. The measurement of a relationship between the subsidence speed and...

Ground subsidence can be caused by both natural and human-induced activities. In this paper, a radar remote sensing technique named Differential Interferometric SAR (D-InSAR) is introduced as means of monitoring the ground deformation caused by mining activities. D-InSAR and current geodetic technologies, such as GPS, are complementary in monitoring ground subsidence due to underground mining a...

The leveling measurements have been traditionally made for the monitoring of ground subsidence, but this technique is known to be not timeand cost-effective. Instead, GPS has been recently used as one of the most convenient and precise techniques for the geodetic applications, in terms of high accuracy monitoring. A GPS monitoring network consisting of 52 GPS stations was set up in Yunlin Count...

Since the Persistent Scatterer Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Interferometry (PSI) technology allows the detection of ground subsidence with millimeter accuracy, it is becoming one of the most powerful and economical means for health diagnosis of major transportation infrastructures. However, structures of different types may suffer from various levels of localized subsidence due to the differe...

The Linfen–Yuncheng basin is an area prone to geological disasters, such as surface subsidence, ground fissuring, fault activity, and earthquakes. For the purpose of disaster prevention and mitigation, Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) was used to map ground deformation in this area. After the ground deformation characteristics over the Linfen–Yuncheng basin were obtained, the cr...

Thermokarst is the process of ground subsidence caused by either the thawing of ice-rich permafrost or the melting of massive ground ice. The consequences of permafrost degradation associated with thermokarst for surface ecology, landscape evolution, and hydrological processes have been of great scientific interest and social concern. Part of a tundra patch affected by wildfire in northern Alas...

Due to the convenient transportation and construction, cities are prone to be situated in areas with flat terrain and unstable sediments, resulting in the concurrence of ground subsidence and urbanization. Here the interaction between geology, anthropogenic processes and ground subsidence geo-hazards were investigated in the Greater Pearl River Delta region of China. Geological evidences and 20...

A variety of deformation surveying techniques have been extensively used for measuring the pattern of ground subsidence. These include precise levelling, total station traversing, aerial photogrammetry and GPS surveys. The impact on the surface infrastructure of underground coal mining to the southwest of Sydney is continuously monitored using a combination of these techniques. Since 2002, expe...

In this research, a technique to estimate the volume change by using Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) is proposed to retrieve the volume change of long-term continuously land deformation (subsidence or uplift). This technique is employed to investigate subsidence of Bandung city, Indonesia to demonstrate the capability of this technique by assessing two Japanese L ...
