Description
The use of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data is a powerful and well established method for remote sensing that enables high resolution measurement of important geophysical parameters such as surface topography, deformation or subsidence of the surface as a result of various processes (earthquakes, tectonic activity, movements of glaciers, mining activity, etc.). The present study illustrates the InSAR technique applied for recent M6+ earthquakes in the region of south-east Europe including Greece and Turkey. Data from both Sentinel-1A and -1B is used. This constellation shares the same orbit plane and include C band imaging operating in four exclusive imaging modes with different resolution (down to 5 m). As a results interferograms and deformation maps are build using SNAP and ArcGIS software. For each deformation map a profile plot of the displacement is depicted. The obtained results can be used in the evaluation of the earthquake deformations supplemented with geological and geophysical information.
