Countrywide Monitoring of Ground Deformation Using InSAR Time Series: A Case Study from Qatar

Abstract: Over the past few decades the country of Qatar has been one of the fastest growing economies in the Middle East; it has witnessed a rapid increase in its population, growth of its urban centers, and development of its natural resources. These anthropogenic activities compounded with natural forcings (e.g., climate change) will most likely introduce environmental effects that should be assessed. In this manuscript, we identify and assess one of these effects, namely, ground deformation over the entire country o… Show more

“…The problem of urban surface deformation is a common problem in today's world, which seriously threatens the basic buildings of the city and our personal safety [1][2][3]. The causes of urban surface deformation include human factors and natural factors [4][5][6]. Human factors are mainly caused by the construction needs of urbanization, which can be traced back for a long time.…”

“…The InSAR technique, UAV photogrammetry, and ground measurements are quite commonly used for natural geological hazards such as volcanic activities, earthquakes, and landslides [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][15][16][17][18]25,41]. The individual or combined operation of these technologies has also been applied in urban settlement monitoring [6,42,43] and relatively stable landfill deformation monitoring [18,44]. However, the ISUGS approach had never been used for landfills in operation due to problems of low spatiotemporal relativity, data verification, and joint solution of site deformation.…”

“…It is difficult to accurately and completely reflect the three-dimensional deformation of the tunnel inverted arch uplift, which has certain limitations. Emil et al [9] used the small baseline subset InSAR time series method combined with the ALOS Palsar-1 and Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar data sets to evaluate the tunnel uplift deformation and used spatiotemporal correlation between the observed deformation and the relevant data sets to identify control factors, effectively monitoring tunnel inverted arch uplift deformations. However, this method is easily affected by terrain, weather, and other factors, which leads to certain restrictions of this method and does not have universality.…”
