Historically, the Kyrgyz Republic and neighboring countries have experienced numerous strong earthquakes. Our research focused on investigation of surface deformations caused by 5 earthquake events which had occurred during 2014-2017. A Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) technique was applied for Sentinel-1 data acquired before after events. The pairs images were pro...

Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) techniques have been recognised as well-suited for ground deformation monitoring applications. However, the spatially and temporally variable delay of the radar signal propagating through the atmosphere represents a major limitation to accuracy. The dominant factor to be considered is the tropospheric heterogeneity, which can lead t...

We use prior theory and experimental results to construct a quantitative relationship between soil moisture and the penetration depth of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) microwaves at L-, C-, and X-bands. This relationship is nonlinear and indicates that a change of 5% volumetric water content (VWC) can cause between 1 and 50 mm of change in C-band penetration depth depending on initial VWC. Beca...

Landslides pose significant risks to towns and villages in Southern Italy, including the San Marco dei Cavoti hamlet (Benevento, Campania), where settlements have expanded into areas threatened by landslides, leading property damage, disruption social fabric loss of life. This study aims investigate surface deformations area using Differential Interferometry SAR (DInSAR) analysis on COSMO-SkyMe...

Wide-area ground motion monitoring is nowadays achievable via advanced Differential Interferometry SAR (A-DInSAR) techniques which benefit from the availability of large sets Copernicus Sentinel-1 images. However, it primary importance to implement automated solutions aimed at performing integrated analysis amounts interferometric data. To effectively detect high-displacement areas and classify...

Land surface deformation can be caused by underground mining activities. The maximum subsidence normally occurs directly above the location of the excavation of the coal seam. In the case where the longwall mining technique is applied, the magnitude and shape of the subsidence bowl are constrained by the longwall structure (pillar). This paper describes the use of satellite radar interferometry...

The SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) imagery are largely used for the environmental, structures and infrastructures monitoring. In particular, Differential SAR Interferometry (DInSAR) is a well known technique that allows producing spatially dense displacement maps with centimetre to millimetre accuracy. The SAR signal is characterized by phase and amplitude value and the DInSAR remote sensing te...

This paper provides a review of using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), microwave remote sensing technique, for deformation monitoring hydroelectric power projects, critical infrastructure that requires consistent and reliable monitoring. Almost all major dams around the world were built generation hydropower. InSAR can enhance dam safety by providing timely settlement measureme...

Mount Merapi is one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia, and its most recent massive eruption was in November 2010, causing great loss of lives and assets. Land movement of the volcano and the regions around were known to be significant. One of the methods that can be used to monitor such motion is Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR). The Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images...

The island of Cephalonia, Western Greece, was struck by two strong seismic events, with magnitudes, ML= 5.8 and ML = 5.7 which occurred on Jan. 26, 2014 and Feb. 3, 2014 respectively. The first event was located near Argostoli’s town, whereas the second one was located at the north part of Livadi village. These two strong earthquake events followed by smaller aftershocks provoking extensive cru...
