报告题目：High-resolution 3D displacement field and stories behind: Case studies in earthquake, volcano and underground nuclear test
报告内容简介
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery is a powerful remote-sensing technology that allows for mapping the surface displacement with the resolution of a few meters. Although Interferometric SAR (InSAR) has been widely used in earth science studies, applications often suffer from decorrelation in the area of large displacement gradient, causing data gap near the ruptured crust. Pixel offsets between SAR amplitude images can provide unambiguous ground displacement measurements in both the radar line-of-sight (range) direction and the along-track (azimuth) flight direction, allowing for deriving complete (3D) displacement in the near field. Here I will present how SAR amplitude images can help us better understand geodynamic processes via three independent cases:
1) The 2014-15 Holuhraun fissure eruption at Bárðarbunga volcano, Iceland. In this case, we show the detailed 3D deformation of a forming graben. We also show that the near-field 3D displacement renewed our knowledge of how the curst was opened during an oblique rift event.
2) The 2016 Kaikoura (New Zealand) earthquake. In this case, we combine SAR images from the ESA’s Sentinal-1A and the JAXA’s ALOS-2 for identifying surface ruptures, and for deriving 3D coseismic displacements. We show that the vertical displacements are positively correlated with topography along the coast but are negatively correlated with topography farther inland, suggesting opposite coseismic contributions to the shaping of the Earth’s surface in a single seismic event.
3) The 2017 North Korea Nuclear test. In this case, we determine the first-ever 3D displacement field associated with underground nuclear test using TerraSAR-X SAR amplitude images. Elastic dislocation modeling of the surface displacements and focal mechanism solutions consistently reveal compaction and collapse processes following the initial explosion.
The three cases presented here demonstrate that SAR amplitude information is important for revealing unprecedented displacement field near the ruptured crust. Such detailed geodetic measurements can bring new knowledges about the deformed crust.
