Abstract. To monitor the large area land subsidence in Dezhou city, Shandong province, China. This paper uses 23 scenes of Sentinel-1A radar images from August 2017 to February 2019, and based on small baseline subset (SBAS) technology to obtain the subsidence information in Dezhou urban area. The monitoring results show that: Dezhou city has a serious subsidence phenomenon in large coverage area. A subsidence funnel with Chenzhuang as the center was formed. The average annual subsidence rate (along the vertical direction) of the subsidence center exceeded 45 mm/yr. There was also a serious subsidence phenomenon in the eastern and northeastern parts of the urban area, and there was a tendency of forming a whole area. After detailed data analysis, it is found that the ground subsidence presents seasonal characteristics closely related to the groundwater level and is affected by large-scale engineering construction on the surface.

Recently, the Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) technique is widely used for quantifying the land surface deformation, which is very important to assess the potential impact on social and economic activities. Radar satellites operate in different wavelengths and each provides different levels of vertical displacement accuracy. In this study, the accuracies of Sentinel-1 (C-band) and ALOS/PALSAR-2 (L-band) were investigated in terms of estimating the land subsidence rate along the study area of Alexandria City, Egypt. A total of nine Sentinel-1 and 11 ALOS/PALSAR-2 scenes were used for such assessment. The small baseline subset (SBAS) processing scheme, which detects the land deformation with a high spatial and temporal coverage, was performed. The results show that the threshold coherence values of the generated interferograms from ALOS-2 data are highly concentrated between 0.2 and 0.3, while a higher threshold value of 0.4 shows no coherent pixels for about 80% of Alexandria’s urban area. However, the coherence values of Sentinel-1 interferograms ranged between 0.3 and 1, with most of the urban area in Alexandria showing coherent pixels at a 0.4 value. In addition, both data types produced different residual topography values of almost 0 m with a standard deviation of 13.5 m for Sentinel-1 and −20.5 m with a standard deviation of 33.24 m for ALOS-2 using the same digital elevation model (DEM) and wavelet number. Consequently, the final deformation was estimated using high coherent pixels with a threshold of 0.4 for Sentinel-1, which is comparable to a threshold of about 0.8 when using ALOS-2 data. The cumulative vertical displacement along the study area from 2017 to 2020 reached −60 mm with an average of −12.5 mm and mean displacement rate of −1.73 mm/year. Accordingly, the Alexandrian coastal plain and city center are found to be relatively stable, with land subsidence rates ranging from 0 to −5 mm/year. The maximum subsidence rate reached −20 mm/yr and was found along the boundary of Mariout Lakes and former Abu Qir Lagoon. Finally, the affected buildings recorded during the field survey were plotted on the final land subsidence maps and show high consistency with the DInSAR results. For future developmental urban plans in Alexandria City, it is recommended to expand towards the western desert fringes instead of the south where the present-day ground lies on top of the former wetland areas.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The Sentinel-1 data is currently the latest free SAR data and is well suited for land subsidence monitoring based on InSAR technology due to its 6-day revisit cycle. In this paper, the urban area and surrounding areas of Handan City are used as research areas, and 29 scences of S1A data (December 2017 &amp;ndash; December 2018) was used for time series SBAS processing. The results shows that the surface cumulative deformation ranged from -42 to 30&amp;thinsp;mm in most regions of Handan City. The maximum settlement is 69&amp;thinsp;mm, which is near the Hankuang Group Julong Company. The areas where the settlement is obvious include Wu'an City, Daishan Village, Dashe Town, Zhangxibao Town, Baijia Street, Dongxingtai Village, Gaonan Village and Hankuang Group Julong Company. Slightly elevated in the southeast of Handan City.</p>
