Abstract
The potential of satelliteborne interferometric measurements for the mapping of slow land subsidence has been investigated. Two test sites, covered by the E,RS-1 satellite, were selected in the Netherlands: the provinces of Groningen and Zeeland. In situ measurements on the weather and the actual subsidence were gathered. It will be shown that under favorable conditions measurement accuracy’s for land subsidence in the range of mm’s are feasible. Atmospheric effects together with temporal decorrelation are the major limitations to the accuracy of the technique for this type of long term measurement.
