InSAR for tectonophysics

Chair: M. Furuya (Japan) Affiliation: Comm. 3, 4

Introduction

Against a backdrop of a series of SAR satellite missions, ERS1/2, JERS, Envisat/ASAR, ALOS/PALSAR, Radarsat- 1/2, TerraSAR/X, planned future missions (e.g. Centinel-1 and Desdyni), the overall objective of this working group is to be a focus of activities in the following research areas, related to geodetic measurement and analysis of SAR/InSAR data and their application to tectonophysical problems.

Objectives

  • SAR/InSAR data analysis for tectonophysics: Development of new analysis techniques: e.g., ScanSAR interferometry, PS-InSAR, SBAS approach, Polarimetric InSAR etc..
  • Retrieval and separation of atmospheric and crustal deformation signal: Improvement of conventional approaches (stacking or calibration), and development of a brand-new approach
  • Modeling and interpretation of SAR/InSAR data: Development, application and assessment of geophysical modeling of InSAR data: e.g., efforts to go beyond oversimplified static solutions.
  • Combination of InSAR data with other measurement sources: Development of novel and useful combination of InSAR data with other measurement techniques, such as GPS, gravity, seismogram etc.

Activities

  • Email:
    Internal email discussions
  • Meeting:
    Organization of working group meeting and organization of sessions at larger meetings. Potential candidate venues are the Joint AGU/CGU meeting, IAG workshops, FRINGE workshop, etc.
  • Website:
    Launch of a website for communications, information dissemination and links to data sources
  • Monitoring:
    Monitoring and presentation of activities - either by WG members or external - that are going on in these areas.
