Nineteen percent of the global population may face a high probability subsidence
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 use of InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) products has greatly increased in the last years because technological advances terms both acquisition sensors and processing algorithms. development multi-interferogram techniques availability free SAR analysis tools significantly number worldwide applications satellite measurements for mapping monitoring geohazards. excel determining ground deformation urban areas, where coherence radar images is high, obtainable results are...
The launch of the medium resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Sentinel-1 constellation in 2014 has allowed public and private organizations to introduce SAR interferometry (InSAR) products as a valuable option their monitoring systems. massive stacks displacement data resulting from processing large C-B radar images can be used highlight temporal spatial deformation anomalies, detailed analysis postprocessing generate operative for final users. In this work, wide-area mapping capability...
Coastal regions in Southwest Europe have experienced major interventions and transformations of the territory with unprecedented urban development, primarily related to growing tourism activity. The coast is place where marine terrestrial processes converge, making it highly vulnerable effects climate change. However, lack information on frequency these extreme weather events their impacts hampers an accurate analysis consequences global This paper provides a detailed (EWE) that affected...
Abstract Floods greatly impact human settlements in flood risk areas, such as floodplains and coastal lowlands, following heavy rainfall. The Alto Guadalentin valley, an orogenic tectonic depression, experiences extreme flash floods land subsidence due to groundwater withdrawal, rendering it one of Europe's fastest subsiding regions. In this study, we compared two 2D event models representing different scenarios for 1992 2016. To determine the flooded area water depth variations subsidence,...
Land subsidence associated with groundwater overexploitation in the Alto Guadalentín Basin (Spain) aquifer system has been detected during last decades. In this work, for first time, we propose a new point cloud differencing methodology to detect land at basin scale, based on multiscale model-to-model comparison (M3C2) algorithm. This method is applied two open-access airborne LiDAR datasets acquired 2009 and 2016, respectively. First internal edge connection errors different flight lines...
Alaşehir-Sarıgöl sub-basin (ASSB) in Türkiye faces severe water stress mainly due to intensive agricultural irrigation. This has led declining groundwater levels, aquifer compaction, and subsequent land subsidence. study aims evaluate the roles of tectonic activity withdrawal land-subsidence investigate additional factors like faults soft soil thickness. The P-SBAS algorithm was applied, using 98 123 Sentinel-1 SAR images ascending descending orbits, respectively, from 2016 2020. Independent...
ABSTRACT The aim of this work is to provide the contribution water quality indices (WQIs) environmental management resources, during last three decades in Argentina. As part Latin America and Caribbean region, one most water-rich regions world, monitoring stress has not always received enough attention. Particularly, if it taking into account that due high temporal geographic variability distribution, was, will be main driver for development activities country. A summary role key actors...
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....
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...
In the last two decades, advanced differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (A-DInSAR) techniques have experienced significant developments, which are mainly related to (i) progress of satellite SAR data acquired by new missions, such as COSMO-SkyMed and ESA’s Sentinel-1 constellations; (ii) development novel processing algorithms. The improvements in A-DInSAR ground deformation time series need appropriate methodologies analyse extremely large datasets consist huge amounts...
This paper analyses the performance of SAR-based results to support emergency management operations during volcanic crisis La Palma island. Tajogaite eruption began on September 19th 2021 affecting a high populated area and surrounding farmland, used for different agricultural purposes. SAR datasets obtained from Sentinel-1, COSMO-SkyMED, PAZ-TerraSAR-X Capella satellites, were processed calculate amplitude, coherence differential interferograms. These have permitted map morphology cone,...
Big cities improvement usually requires the construction of large underground infrastructures, in order to ensure proper communication and optimize urban use. Monitoring ground subsidences is therefore one main challenges changing environments. The "Madrid Río" project (2003-2008) an effort reclaim riverfront land improve busy M-30 beltway that involved 7.93 km tunnels underneath southern center Madrid City. This paper presents a remote-sensing approach monitor induced by tunneling...
