This study is focused on wide-area deformation monitoring initiatives based the differential interferometric SAR technique (DInSAR). In particular, it addresses use of advanced DInSAR (A-DInSAR) techniques, which are large sets synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and Copernicus Sentinel-1 images. Such techniques have undergone a dramatic development in last twenty years: they now capable to process big images can be exploited realize A-DInSAR monitoring. The describes several establish ground...
Abstract. On 3 September 2017 official channels of the Democratic People's Republic Korea announced successful test a thermonuclear device. Only seconds to minutes after alleged nuclear explosion at Punggye-ri site in mountainous region country's northeast 03:30:02 (UTC), hundreds seismic stations distributed all around globe picked up strong and distinct signals associated with an explosion. Different seismological agencies reported body wave magnitudes well above 6.0, consequently...
Abstract. The Advanced Differential Interferometric SAR (A-DInSAR) technique is a class of powerful techniques to monitor ground motion. In the last two decades, A-DInSAR has undergone an important development in terms processing algorithms and capability wide areas. This been accompanied by increase Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data acquisition spaceborne sensors. An step forward was launch Copernicus Sentinel-1 constellation. based deformation services now technically feasible. paper...
Abstract Hyperspectral remote sensing already is important in geoscientific research the fields of geology, soil, exploration and mining. New hyperspectral satellite systems are operation (e.g. PRISMA DESIS; Caporusso et al. 2020; Alonso (Sensors 19(20):4471–4515, 2019)) more planned e.g. European Copernicus Next Generation Satellite CHIME (Nieke Rast 2018). The German system EnMAP was successfully launched into space on 1 st April 2022 (DLR 2022). potential airborne borne data for...
Abstract. The Persistent Scatterer Interferometry is a powerful technique for ground motion detection and monitoring over wide areas. In the recent years, PSI has undergone rapid evolution, largely thanks to launch of Copernicus Sentinel-1 constellation, refinement algorithms, increased computational capabilities. These factors allow using interferometric data develop deformation services wide-area monitoring. Firstly, we review examples national or regional paper then describes European...
One of the major tasks Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR – Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe) is to contribute a sustainable future supply Germany with minerals industrial use. Part BGR's strategy develop innovative ways mineral exploration. The presented study focusses on airborne technologies, being applied developed in ongoing projects. methods used can be classified established newly evolving systems. repertoire includes electromagnetics,...
Land subsidence can cause severe damage for e.g. infrastructure and buildings mass movements even lead to loss of live. Detection monitoring these processes by terrestrial measurement techniques remain a challenge due limitations in spatial coverage temporal resolution. Since the launch ERS-1 1991 numerous scientific studies demonstrated capability differential SAR-Interferometry (DInSAR) detection surface deformation proving usability this method. In order assist utilization DInSAR...
The Copernicus European Ground Motion Service (EGMS) provides consistent, regular, standardised, harmonised and reliable information regarding natural anthropogenic ground motion phenomena over the Participating States across national borders, with millimetre accuracy. EGMS is based on multitemporal interferometric analysis of Sentinel-l radar images at full resolution. Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) data are used to calibrate measurements. an unprecedent opportunity study...

<p>Satellite radar interferometry is widely considered as one of the most robust and reliable techniques for ground motion monitoring at local scale over wide areas. In recent years, satellite has undergone a rapid evolution thanks to launch Sentinel-1 constellation, refinement algorithms, increased computational capability offered by cloud computing platforms. All these factors allow development national or regional services based on interferometric data. Italy, Norway,...
An area in the Negev desert Israel was chosen to demonstrate capability of SIR-C sensor system differentiate lithological units. In addition DAIS hyperspectral data were investigated. The around Timna mountain is characterized by Cambrian sandstones, carbonates and alluvial fans Pleistocene Holocene age. itself consists diverse magmatic rock assemblage. whole mapped using conventional methods. remote sensing are sensitive for mapping parameters allow extraction their spectral radar...
The ERS-1/2 tandem mission opened a new dimension in the detection of recent displacements active tectonic structures like Dead Sea Rift Israel. investigations are mainly concentrated on northern coastal plains Gulf Aqaba and Wadi Araba. test site is part Aqaba-Levant-Structure situated Israel/Jordan/Egypt triangle.
