Abstract

A ground-based Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) was installed to monitor a landslide in Valdarno (Italy). The aim was to field-test an innovative remote sensing instrument able to provide distributed information over sliding slopes with a rate of several images a day. Radar images and interferometric displacement maps projected on the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the test site are reported.
