Reliability of InSAR satellite monitoring of buildings near inner city quay walls

Technical Paper

This paper assesses the reliability of using Permanent Scatterer Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PS-InSAR) satellite measurements to determine the vertical deformation rate of buildings adjacent to Amsterdam's historic quay walls. The deformation rate is a key indicator for potential foundation problems, especially before quay wall replacement.
