Continuous, semi-automatic monitoring of ground deformation using Sentinel-1 satellites
Abstract We present the continuous monitoring of ground deformation at regional scale using ESA (European Space Agency) Sentinel-1constellation of satellites. We discuss this operational monitoring service through the case study of the Tuscany Region (Central Italy), selected due to its peculiar geo...
