Satellite radar interferometry: subsidence monitoring techniques

This book investigates the applicability of satellite radar interferometry (InSAR) for deformation monitoring, in particular subsidence due to hydrocarbon extraction. It covers the subject in a generic way, from the precision and reliability of InSAR as a measurement technique to the estimation of the deformation signal of interest in the possible presence of multiple deformation regimes. This book requires a background in geosciences and is designed for both researchers and the industry, since it translates the research results into the operational use of InSAR for subsidence monitoring. It gives an overview of thePersistent Scatterer InSAR (PSI) theory, and subsequently focuses on the accuracy of the estimates. Unique combination of scientific research and the operational use for deformation monitoring Precision and reliability assessment of InSAR as a measurement technique, including the newly developed multi-track datum connection procedure INDICE: 1 Introduction.- 2 Subsidence due to hydrocarbon production in theNetherlands.- 3 Persistent Scatterer InSAR.- 4 Quality control.- 5 Multi-track PSI.- 6 PSI subsidence monitoring in Groningen.- 7 Cross-validation and operational implementation.- 8 Discussion and future subsidence monitoring.- 9 Conclusions and recommendations.- Bibliography.- Appendices.- Index.
