Monitoring ground subsidence in the Vega Media of the river Segura through Differential SAR Interferometry (DInSAR)

Abstract

Ground subsidence caused by aquifer exploitation is a geotechnical hazard that affects wide areas, causing important economic damages. This phenomenon is due to soil consolidation produced by the increase of effective stress caused by piezometric depletion. In this work a Remote Sensing Technique called Coherent Pixel (CPT) is applied to monitor subsidence in the Vega Media of the Segura River during a period of eleven years.Este trabajo ha sido financiado por los proyectos TIC2002-04451-C02 y BTE2002-12456-E (MCyT - FEDER), GV04B/556 y GRUPOS03/085 (Generalitat Valenciana) y Cat. 1-2494 (ESA)
