Abstract

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) is a remote sensing technique capable of measuring ground surface deformation with sub-centimeter precision and spatial resolution in tens-of-meters over a large region. This paper highlights our on-going investigations of Aleutian volcanoes with SAR images acquired from European ERS-1 and ERS-2, Canadian Radarsat-l, and Japanese JERS-l satellites.
