Integrating geodetic infrastructures for GNSS displacements analysis in Chile: A case study with REDGEOMIN (2019–2022)

This article investigates crustal displacements in Chile between 2019 and 2022, a region marked by the interaction between three Plates. Utilizing the Red Geodésica para la Minería (Geodetic Network...

Review of SAR imaging geodesy for glacier velocity monitoring

The surface velocity is one of the most important characteristics of glaciers. Monitoring and mapping glacier movements are of great significance for the studies of sea-level rise, glacier mass balance...

Analysis of the effect of the 2021 Semeru eruption on water vapor content and atmospheric particles using GNSS and remote sensing

Mount Semeru, an active volcano in East Java, Indonesia, erupted on December 4, 2021, following extreme rainfall that caused an avalanche of hot pyroclastic flows and lava. The tropospheric conditions...

Damping modification factors for acceleration response spectra

DMF (Damping modification factors) are used to modify elastic response spectral values corresponding to damping ratio 5% to other damping levels. The influence of seismological parameters (magnitude,...

Coseismic deformation and slip distribution of the 2023 Jishishan Mw6.0 earthquake based on InSAR measurements

A MW6.0 earthquake struck Jishishan County in Linxia Prefecture, Gansu Province, on December 18, 2023. In this research, Sentinel-1A satellite radar observations were used to obtain the field of coseismic...

Unscented Kalman filter for a low-cost GNSS/IMU-based mobile mapping application under demanding conditions

For the last two decades, low-cost Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers have been used in various applications. These receivers are mini-size, less expensive than geodetic-grade receivers,...

Spatial and temporal analysis of urban heat island effect over Tiruchirappalli city using geospatial techniques
