Monitoring Land Subsidence Using Remote Sensing

Abstract

Land subsidence is also one of the major factors controlling the geomorphological evolution of river basins and deltaic areas, which can host large population centres and extensive productive activities. Ground deformations monitoring plays a key role in the management of such natural hazard by providing cost-effective solutions for risk mitigation. This Special Issue of Remote Sensing is devoted to all topics related to land subsidence monitoring using remote sensing techniques (in particular, but not limited, to InSAR) complemented with ground-based data (e.g., GNSS, precise levelling).
