Description

Satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) is an Earth observation technology that enables monitoring of ground deformation with high spatial and temporal resolution in all weather conditions. Through multi-temporal acquisitions, it provides deformation time series (DefTS) with millimetric accuracy, useful for both local and large-scale analyses. However, interpreting DefTS is challenging due to irregularities such as seasonal oscillations, abrupt changes, and trend shifts, caused by physical processes, environmental factors, or measurement errors. This research proposes statistical and geospatial methods to identify and analyze such anomalies, linking them to underlying processes. It also integrates external data, such as meteorological information and GNSS measurements, to improve interpretation, reliability, and applications in geohazard and infrastructure monitoring.
