Abstract

An innovative technique, based on radar interferometry and implemented using ground-based instrumentation, has been applied for monitoring the Tessina landslide (Italy, Belluno). The technique has allowed us to derive multitemporal surface deformation maps of the entire depletion zone of the landslide with a high spatial resolution and accuracy. The portable device used in this application is known as Linear SAR (LISA), and it is able to provide measurements at 17 GHz with a synthetic aperture of up to 2.8 m. The results have been validated by comparing the recorded pixel displacements with independent measurements carried out by a motorized theodolite and Electronic Distance Meter (EDM) on two benchmarks.
