Land subsidence phenomena in urbanized areas of Attica observed by applying advanced DinSAR techniques

摘要

Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (SAR) technology has been enabled to investigate the spatial distribution and temporal evolution of displacements occurring at the areas due to land subsidence related hazards. Land motion mapping data, produced by hybrid interferometric technique (Singular Value Decomposition algorithm) and PSI (Persistent Scatterer Interferometry) analysis, revealed vertical displacements affecting the Thriassio basm and the region of Moschato. The outcomes of these techniques provided important information about the spatial extent and time series of the surface deformation that should be evaluated considering the geological, hydrogeological, morphological and tectonic settings of the areas to assess land subsidence hazard mechanism.
