Deformation Patterns

ABSTRACTExploitation of satellite radar interferometry on huge cultural heritage sites can facilitate the recognition of spatially distributed deformation patterns, whose morphology, jointly with the analysis of displacement time series, could clarify the nature of ongoing deterioration phenomena threatening the conservation of exposed archaeological heritage. Radar-interpretation is used on selected case studies located in Southern Italy to demonstrate the feasibility of Persistent Scatterers (PS) analyses for site-specific detection of superficial deformation, correlated to natural and/or human-induced instability processes. Evidence of subsidence for the radar targets identified within the archaeological area of Capo Colonna, Central Calabria, confirms the susceptibility of the entire promontory to ground instability, with potential effects on the ruins. Similarly, the uplift/subsidence patterns on the monumental area of Pozzuoli, W of Naples, testify the exposure of the geologic substratum underneath the archaeological structures to the active dynamics of the Campi Flegrei volcanic complex. Finally, the satellite analysis on the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, Sicily, exemplifies the capability to distinguish differential displacement trends and seasonal variations within single PS time series.

The given paper considers the use of satellite radar interferometry techniques for the detection of ground surface deformations and technogenic objects displacements over a wide area. The relevance of the work consists of the need for identification of high geodynamical risk areas as a result of natural and anthropogenic factors. The main results of the work are the system of Sentinel-1A/B radar data full interferometric processing, geo-informational service for the publication of the processing results and interactive displacements map of Kaliningrad region for 2017-2018. The central part of the realized system is the previously developed and registered software FInSAR for radar data processing using persistent scatterers method. An important element of the system is geoportal which provides a user with access to the results and contains instruments for geospatial analysis. The interactive map of the Kaliningrad region represents point measurements of average annual displacements rate of technogenic objects with a possibility to trace displacements history. The paper consists of an introduction, two main sections and conclusions. The introduction is devoted to the actuality and practical significance of the developed system. The second section describes the characteristics of Sentinel-1A/B source data, radar interferometry technique and the persistent scatterers approach. The third section describes the principal scheme of the system operation and the results of its use for technogenic objects displacements monitoring in the Kaliningrad region as an example. In the last section, the main conclusions are made and further direction of research and development in frame of the presented project is designated. Keywords: synthetic aperture radar, radar interferometry, Sentinel-1A/B, geoinformational service, ground surface deformations.

The Relationship

This article explores how performance and character can be used to represent the lives of real women in spaces of heritage. It focuses on two different site-specific performances created by the author in the South Ayrshire region of Scotland: CauseWay: The Story of the Alloway Suffragettes and In Hidden Spaces: The Untold Stories of the Women of Rozelle House. These were created with a practice-as-research methodology and aim to offer new models for the use of character in site-specific performance practice. The article explores the variety of methods and techniques used, including verbatim writing, spatial exploration, and Herstorical research, in order to demonstrate the ways in which women’s narratives were represented in a theoretically informed, site-specific manner. Drawing on Phil Smith’s mythogeography, and responding to Laurajane Smith’s work on gender and heritage, the conflicting tensions of identity, performance, and authenticity are drawn together to offer flexible characterization as a new model for the creation of feminist heritage performance. Victoria Bianchi is a theatre-maker and academic in the School of Education at the University of Glasgow. Her work explores the relationship between space, feminism, and identity. She has written and performed work for the National Trust for Scotland, Camden People’s Theatre, and Assembly at Edinburgh, among other institutions.

The main aim of the article was to analyse the actual accuracy of determining the vertical movements of the Earth’s crust (VMEC) based on time series made of four measurement techniques: satellite altimetry (SA), tide gauges (TG), fixed GNSS stations and radar interferometry. A relatively new issue is the use of the persistent scatterer InSAR (PSInSAR) time series to determine VMEC. To compare the PSInSAR results with GNSS, an innovative procedure was developed: the workflow of determining the value of VMEC velocities in GNSS stations based on InSAR data. In our article, we have compiled 110 interferograms for ascending satellites and 111 interferograms for descending satellites along the European coast for each of the selected 27 GNSS stations, which is over 5000 interferograms. This allowed us to create time series of unprecedented time, very similar to the time resolution of time series from GNSS stations. As a result, we found that the obtained accuracies of the VMEC determined from the PSInSAR are similar to those obtained from the GNSS time series. We have shown that the VMEC around GNSS stations determined by other techniques are not the same.
