Synthetic Aperture Radar For Surface Motion Estimation

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and applications of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) to measure and monitor surface motion caused by various geophysical processes, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, urban subsidence, and landslides. The book covers the fundamental concepts of SAR, including the radar equation, resolution, and signal processing techniques such as focusing and interferometry. It also discusses advanced techniques like Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) for high-precision deformation monitoring.Written in a clear and accessible style, the volume includes numerous examples and case studies based on real-world data from modern SAR missions like Sentinel-1 and TerraSAR-X. This useful reference textbook is suitable for students, researchers, and professionals in the fields of remote sensing, geosciences, and engineering. See more
