Direct Measurements of Land Surface Deformation Based on PS-InSAR in Lanzhou, China

Article Preview

Abstract:

Surface deformation is a slow and irreversible change. It is impacted by topographic, geologic and human activities. To investigate the spatial distribution of surface deformation in Lanzhou, we used PS-InSAR technique. PS-InSAR is a remote sensing method that can be used to detect surface deformation: an indicator of potential hazards. By capturing these deformations over a period of time, we can get valuable information about impending geohazards, such as landslides. This study focused on using this technique to investigate the distribution and cause of surface deformation in the region around Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu Province, China.
