This paper describes an automatic mosaicking algorithm for creating large-scale mosaic maps of forest height. In contrast to existing mosaicking approaches through using SAR backscatter power and/or InSAR phase, this paper utilizes the forest height estimates that are inverted from spaceborne repeat-pass cross-pol InSAR correlation magnitude. By using repeat-pass InSAR correlation measurements ...

S U M M A R Y We present a semi-analytic iterative procedure for evaluating the 3-D deformation due to faults in an arbitrarily heterogeneous elastic half-space. Spatially variable elastic properties are modelled with equivalent body forces and equivalent surface traction in a ‘homogenized’ elastic medium. The displacement field is obtained in the Fourier domain using a semi-analytic Green func...

This study investigates the options of information mining to enhance interpretation of PS-InSAR results of land subsidence analysis. Persistent Scatterer (PS) Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is one of the latest applications of SAR time series data analysis. The detection of coherent point target measurements i.e, persistent scatterers gives an opportunity of measuring sub-cm d...

Volterra (Central Italy) is a town of great historical interest, due to its vast and well-preserved cultural heritage, including a 2.6 km long Etruscan-medieval wall enclosure representing one of the most important elements. Volterra is located on a clayey hilltop prone to landsliding, soil erosion, therefore the town is subject to structural deterioration. During 2014, two impressive collapses...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: InSAR Multi-temporal InSAR Subsidence Aquifer Fault Oil field Salt dome Houston Houston–Galveston (HG) region in Texas has been subsiding due to the combined effects of groundwater withdrawal , hydrocarbon extraction, salt dome movement, and faulting. This human-and partially nature-induced ground deformation has gradually threatened the stability of urban infras...

Satellite interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) has proven to be an effective tool for monitoring surface deformation from volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, and groundwater withdrawal. This paper seeks to expand the list of applications of InSAR data to include monitoring subsidence possibly associated with thaw settlement over the Alaskan Arctic Coastal Plain. To test our hypothes...

The mud receiving area is an important sand storage for dredging sea reclamation and sand-dumping in the waterway. sediment accumulation generated process of dumping has impact on surrounding transportation facilities normal use entire area. From 6 August 2021 to 9 May 2022, Sentinel-1A 24-view SLC data covering sludge were used monitor safety around seawall road by InSAR technology. Synthetic ...

Radar atmospheric decorrelation due to inhomogeneity of atmospheric refractivity is a critical limitation of satellite SAR interferometry (InSAR) in the high accuracy retrieving of geophysical parameters. With mm precision, a water vapor tracing technique based on GPS meteorology was widely employed to mitigate InSAR atmospheric errors. However, a reliable comparison of atmospheric delay betwee...

The Altyn Tagh Fault (ATF) is one of the major left-lateral strike-slip faults in the northeastern area of the Tibetan Plateau. In this study, the interseismic deformation across the ATF at 85 ̋E was measured using 216 interferograms from 33 ENVISAT advanced synthetic aperture radar images on a descending track acquired from 2003 to 2010, and 66 interferograms from 15 advanced synthetic aperture...
