Rupture kinematics of this very large earthquake were obtained from high-resolution Global Positioning System data.
Nineteen percent of the global population may face a high probability subsidence
This work is focused on deformation activity mapping and monitoring using Sentinel-1 (S-1) data the DInSAR (Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) technique. The main goal to present a procedure periodically update assess geohazard (volcanic activity, landslides ground-subsidence) of given area by exploiting wide coverage high coherence temporal sampling (revisit time up six days) provided S-1 satellites. products are two updatable maps: map active areas map. These maps...
In this work, the analysis of TerraSAR-X satellite images combining both conventional and advanced Differential Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (DInSAR) approaches has proven to be effective detect monitor fast evolving mining subsidence on urban areas in Upper Silesian Coal Basin (Poland). This region accounts for almost three million inhabitants where produced severe damage structures infrastructures recent years. Conventional DInSAR approach was used generate 28 differential...
Landslides are widespread natural hazards that generate considerable damage and economic losses worldwide. Detecting terrain movements caused by these phenomena characterizing affected urban areas is critical to reduce their impact. Here we present a fast simple methodology create maps of vulnerable buildings slow-moving landslides, based on two parameters: (1) the deformation rate associated each building, measured from Sentinel-1 SAR data, (2) building generated landslide movement recorded...
The analysis of remote sensing data to assess geohazards is being improved by web-based platforms and collaborative projects, such as the Geohazard Exploitation Platform (GEP) European Space Agency (ESA). This paper presents evaluation a surface velocity map that generated this platform. was produced through an unsupervised Multi-temporal InSAR (MTI) applying Parallel-SBAS (P-SBAS) algorithm 25 ENVISAT satellite images from South Spain were acquired between 2003 2008. carried out using...
The Mw 7.7 2007 November 14 earthquake had an epicentre located close to the city of Tocopilla, at southern end a known seismic gap in North Chile. Through modelling Global Positioning System (GPS) and radar interferometry (InSAR) data, we show that this event ruptured deeper part seismogenic interface (30–50 km) did not reach surface. initiated hypocentre was arrested ∼150 km south, beneath Mejillones Peninsula, area already identified as important structural barrier between two segments...
Abstract The Eastern Betic cordillera, southeastern Spain, is characterized by slow tectonic deformation rates and moderate seismicity. Great uncertainties persist regarding the precise kinematics of main fault system within region, Shear Zone (EBSZ). We present a new GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) velocity field in Betics, including episodic continuous stations belonging to GeoActiva network, as well all available southern Iberia. use this data build kinematic models with elastic...
Land subsidence resulting from groundwater extractions is a global phenomenon adversely affecting many regions worldwide. Understanding the governing processes and mitigating associated hazards require knowing spatial distribution of implicated factors (piezometric levels, lithology, ground deformation), usually only known at discrete locations. Here, we propose methodology based on Kriging with External Drift (KED) approach to interpolate sparse point measurements variables influencing land...
The detection of active movements that could threat the infrastructures and population is one main priorities risk management chain. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) techniques represent most useful answers to this task; however, it difficult manage huge amount information derived from interferometric analysis. In work, we present a procedure for deriving impact assessment maps, over regional test site, using as starting point Sentinel-1 SAR (Synthetic Radar) images catalogue...
A recent article using data from the European Ground Motion Service (EGMS) to assess vulnerability of Spanish coastline ground movements was published in October 2024 (López-Vinielles et al., 2024). The study, funded by “Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia - Financiado por la Unión Europea Next Generation EU” programme and conducted within framework RISKCOAST project (Ref. SOE3/P4/E0868), EGMS RASTOOL (Grant Agreement No....
Rockfall modelling in Caminito del Rey (Málaga, Spain) represents a scientific and technical challenge due to the high geomorphological complexity of environment, characterized by vertical cliffs, numerous overhangs, complex geometries. In this context, within one Malaga’s most visited tourist attractions (more than 300,000 people per year), comprehensive study was required address challenges across all phases, from detailed characterization inventory trajectory modelling....
Terrain surface displacements at a site can be induced by more than one geological process. In this work, we use advanced differential interferometry SAR (A-DInSAR) to measure ground deformation in Arcos de la Frontera (SW Spain), where severe damages related landslide activity and subsidence have occurred recent years. The are concentrated two residential neighborhoods constructed between 2001 2006. One of the neighborhoods, called La Verbena, is located head an active retrogressive that...
In the current context of climate change, improving groundwater monitoring and management is an important issue for human communities in arid environments. The exploitation resources can trigger land subsidence producing damage urban structures infrastructures. Alto Guadalentín aquifer system SE Spain has been exploited since 1960 average piezometric level drop 150 m. This work presents a model that reproduces evolution during 52 years with error below 10%. geometry was improved introducing...
