KINEMATICS OF THE SLUMGULLION LANDSLIDE FROM UAVSAR DERIVED INTERFEROGRAMS

摘要

In order to measure the response of the Slumgullion landslide to hydraulic forcing, we utilize the unique capabilities of the NASA/JPL's UAVSAR airborne repeat-pass SAR interferometry system to provide surface geodetic measurements with "landslidewide" spatial coverage. Unlike traditional space-based INSAR we are not restricted to fixed flight tracks or fixed repeat times, allowing for optimal imaging geometries and timing. We combine four look directions chosen based on the landslide geometry and invert for the full 3-D landslide-wide surface deformation. These observations complement ongoing GPS measurements and in-situ observations of pore-pressure and atmospheric parameters acquired by the U.S. Geological Survey.
