Abstract

We demonstrate a new InSAR (Satellite Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) postprocessing methodology termed STRAIN-SAR (Strain Tensor Rate Analysis − InSAR), which recovers full horizontal strain rate tensor values from single component, line-of-sight InSAR observations of dewatering subsidence. We apply the method to multi-year InSAR measurements made over the Pipeline Mine in central Nevada during significant dewatering. The strain maps reveal a network of localized compression and extension strain zones ringing and cross cutting the subsidence feature.
