Use of SAR/InSAR in Mining Deformation Monitoring, Parameter Inversion, and Forward Predictions: A Review

Ground surface deformation monitoring, parameter in "version, and forward prediction are essential to mining deformation mechanism interpretation and its related geohazard assessment Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) has the capability to measure surface deformation in a very wide area with high spatial resolution, low cost, and high efficiency, which traditional geodetic surveying techniques cannot accomplish. Consequently, InSAR offers great potential for promoting, or even revolutionizing, traditional mining deformation monitoring and forward prediction, with great efforts having been made in this field.
