Special Issue on Advances in InSAR Algorithms, Deformation Monitoring and Source Parameter Inversion
Published 04 August, 2020
The recent unprecedented access to satellite synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data has led to growing interest in the development of InSAR methods. These methods have been successfully applied to detection, monitoring, and modelling of disasters due to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, glaciers, landslides and other anthropogenic and natural hazards. They have also provided the opportunity to identify urban vulnerabilities and land subsidence. Our collective understanding of various geophysical processes has been improved through modelling of InSAR displacements.
This special issue invites papers highlighting recent advances in methodologies and applications of InSAR to ground deformation monitoring and source parameter inversion. We encourage submissions of review and original research articles.
