“…The use of InSAR for topographic mapping has been one of the major issues since the introduction of this technique by Graham in 1974. Since then several works have demonstrated the accuracy and limitations of this technique (Gens and Van Genderen, 1996;Rosen et al, 2000). A specific 11-day spaceborne mission, the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), was realized in 2000, with the aim of producing a global high resolution DEM of the Earth's surface, covering 80% of the whole land between 60°N and 56°S (Hilland et al, 1998) (further information is …”

This work presents the results of a quantitative analysis of an interferometric SAR (InSAR) digital elevation model (DEM), obtained by the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). The analysis aims to identify additional parameters to recognize areas in southern Italy with different tectonic activities and behaviours. The axial zone of the Campania-Lucania Apennine and the Sila Massif in Calabria, Italy, characterized by quite different evolutionary histories, have been chosen as test areas sufficiently wide to validate observations on a sub-regional scale at least. Geomorphological information on the shape of palaeosurfaces has been used to estimate uplift and/or erosion amounts and rates. Palaeosurfaces are identified on the DEM as regions with an altitude higher than 1000 m a.s.l. and sub-planar land surfaces dipping less than 6°. Information about the shape of palaeosurfaces during the first stage of uplift and before the tectonic-induced block fragmentation has been extracted. A fragmentation index has been computed for these erosional surfaces. The first stage of this landscape evolution has been studied in terms of the geometric characteristics of fragmented blocks. The last erosional stage has been recognized in terms of both geometric characteristics and fragmentation index of the sub-horizontal land surfaces. Altitude and age of the palaeosurfaces, referred to ancient base-levels of the erosion, have been used to estimate the erosional rate.

“…The procedure employs the basic principles of interferometry as described by Rabaute (1993 ), Zebker et al (1994 ), Vachon et al (1995 ), and Gens and Van Genderen (1996 ), among others. An interferogram is computed from a coregistered pair of complex SAR images as follows:…”

Abstract. Using interferometric techniques, a complex coherence image was generated from a pair of complex SAR data. Amplitude images were computed from the SAR and coherence images and subjected to Principal Components Analysis. The ® rst channel of this analysis is an image of remarkable clarity and detail, suitable for various applications. A good lithologic interpretation was realized from this single image channel alone.
“…DInSAR has also been tested in landslide monitoring. At an early step, attempts on land deformation through interferometry took place with data from ERS-1/ERS-2 missions (Gens & Van Genderen, 1996), while land subsidence monitoring using ERS data was applied in Germany, Mexico and Italy with the same aim (Strozzi, Wegmiiller, Tosl, Bitelli, & Spreckels, 2001). In a respective study, ERS, Envisat ASAR data and a limited set of high resolution TerraSA-X data were acquired and they were submitted to interferometric process for deformation monitoring in a Czech area (Lazecký, Rapanta, Perissinb, & Bakoň, 2014).…”
This study presents the synergy of multidisciplinary surveys for the monitoring of an active landslide in Western Greece. The aim of this paper is to highlight and validate a methodology based on multiple sensors data integration which can successfully be used to manage natural disasters or to improve the knowledge of a specific phenomenon in order to prevent and mitigate the risk. Photogrammetric and interferometric processing has been applied to a complex set of remote sensing data such as high resolution satellite images, digital airphotos, aerial photos acquired from an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and radar data. Global Navigation Satellite System measurements and continuous inclinometer measurements are being performed. The multifunctional technology of Geographic Information Systems is used in order to collect, storage, manage, process, analyze and cartographically represent the previously described complex geoscientific information.
