Abstract
The modern approach of studying ground movements is aimed at distinguishing regional land subsidence and local consolidation processes, as well as long- and short- term displacements. With a very-high resolution images and a repeatability acquisitions never available in the past the new generation of SAR satellites provides helps to reach these achievements. In this work we compare the capability of Cosmo-SkyMed and TerraSAR-X for detecting the displacement of jetties, breakwaters, locks, and an artificial island which are under construction in the Venice lagoon inlets, Italy, as part of the anti-flood project MOSE Cosmo-SkyMed and TerraSAR-X have been also used to provide an updated quantification of the subsidence rates of the Venice and Chioggia historical centers.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
