MEASURING SURFACE SUBSIDENCE IN WUHAN, CHINA WITH SENTINEL-1 DATA USING PSINSAR

Abstract. We use the potential of Sentinel-1 for urban subsidence monitoring. A case study was conducted in Wuhan using Sentinel-1A images acquired from 22nd June 2015 to the 24th of April 2017 acquired from an ascending orbit. Our results using PSInSAR are compared to a recent study using SBAS. Moreover, in another experiment, only more recent data, containing 18 images from the 7th of March 2017 to the 14th of March 2018, have been processed in order to analysis changes in the subsidence behavior over the study area. In addition to that, the proposed method (PSInSAR) was used to measure the water height in the east lake using metallic objects as stable PS points.
