Application of SAR Imagery and SAR Interferometry in Digital Geological Cartography

  • Conference paper
The Current Role of Geological Mapping in Geosciences

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAIV,volume 56))

Abstract

One aspect of remote sensing application in geology, i.e. issues associated with the practical use of satellite SAR (synthetic aperture radar), is discussed based on examples of successful projects from a moderate climatic zone. Applications of radar intensity images as well as SAR interferometry are discussed based on examples from southern Poland where these methods have been applied for the measurement of terrain deformations.
