Abstract

Radar interferometry has proven to be a very suitable, low-cost and accurate tool to measure surface displacements. We investigate several data fusion or time-series analysis strategies which aim to mitigate C-band InSAR restrictions for volcano deformation monitoring applications. The focus is on active African volcanic areas. Firstly, data fusion of C-band ENVISAT/ASAR and L-band ALOS/PALSAR sensors helps the determination of a rifting event sequence that took place in summer 2007 in Lake Natron area. The second strategy investigated is a new Wavelet Based InSAR time series applied on ERS-2 data covering the Nyiragongo-Nyamulagira area. It allows new ground displacements identifications outside the local rift valley. Lastly, PALSAR Quad-Pol POLInSAR applicability is explored for La Palma Island.
