Applying SAR Interferometry for ground deformation detection in China

This paper applies SAR Interferometry for ground deformation in two cases: the 1998 Zhangbei-Shangyi Earthquake in Northern China and the urban subsidence in Suzhou City from 1993 to 2000. It is concluded that SAR interferometry may provide valuable information for understanding the spatial patterns and progress of natural hazards. SAR interferometry is also critical for mechanism studies and hazard mitigation.
