Estimation of alpine permafrost surface deformation using InSAR data

The detection of an active rock glacier and the quantification of the observed surface movement as well as its temporal change using the D-InSAR method are presented. An average deformation rate of -7.7 mm/35 days in the radar line-of-sight, in the summer of 1992, was estimated. Whereas, the corresp...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:The detection of an active rock glacier and the quantification of the observed surface movement as well as its temporal change using the D-InSAR method are presented. An average deformation rate of -7.7 mm/35 days in the radar line-of-sight, in the summer of 1992, was estimated. Whereas, the corresponding geodetic measurement, vertical component of 3D flow velocity, was about -8.0 mm/35 days. Additionally, the spatial distribution of the rock glacier surface deformation derived from the D-InSAR data matches the photogrammetric and geodetic generated results to a very high degree.
