TXT-tool 2.386-2.1: Sar interferometry as a tool for detection of landslides in early phases

Abstract

This teaching tool describes applications of Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI), which represents an effective method for monitoring landslides and soil creeping. In this paper, the usefulness, main advantages and disadvantages of the abovementioned radar method are shown on the basis of different case studies in Slovenia. Furthermore, displacement rates that were observed have been explained and compared with other available in situ data.
