Title: | Subsidence Detected by Multi-Pass Differential SAR Interferometry in the Cassino Plain (Central Italy): Joint Effect of Geological and Anthropogenic Factors? | Journal: | Remote Sensing | Series/Report no.: | 10/6 (2014) | Publisher: | Molecular Diversity Preservation International | Issue Date: | Oct-2014 | DOI: | 10.3390/rs6109676 | URL: | http://www.mdpi.com/search?q=cassino&journal=remotesensing&volume=&authors=§ion=&issue=&article_type=&special_issue=&page=&search=Search | Keywords: | Differential SAR Interferometry; SBAS; IPTA; Cassino plain; subsidence | Subject Classification: | 04.

Geological and geophysical evidences of deep processes | Abstract: | In the present work, the Differential SAR Interferometry (DInSAR) technique has been applied to study the surface movements affecting the sedimentary basin of Cassino municipality. Two datasets of SAR images, provided by ERS 1-2 and Envisat missions, have been acquired from 1992 to 2010. Such datasets have been processed independently each other and with different techniques nevertheless providing compatible results. DInSAR data show a subsidence rate mostly located in the northeast side of the city, with a subsidence rate decreasing from about 5–6 mm/yr in the period 1992–2000 to about 1–2 mm/yr between 2004 and 2010, highlighting a progressive reduction of the phenomenon. Based on interferometric results and geological/geotechnical observations, the explanation of the detected movements allows to confirm the anthropogenic (surface effect due to building construction) and geological causes (thickness and characteristics of the compressible stratum) |
